  • Ideally: when you know something, be bold (act like you know), when you don't, be humble (act like you don't), and when you're 50% sure, be 50% bold and 50% humble
  • But reality isn't that simple. Some people lean humble, some lean bold.
  • Table
    • Know
      • Act like you know
        • Risk looking like — or actually becoming — someone who pretends to know things they don't
        • The kind of person who can change the world
      • Act like you don't know
        • Exemplary, broadly well-liked
        • May not change the world, but can make a real contribution
    • Don't know
      • Act like you know
        • Easy to confuse with someone who actually knows and acts accordingly
        • A harm to society
      • Act like you don't know
        • A good citizen?
        • Hard to make a major contribution to the world
  • Looking at society, it feels like there are so many people who act like they know things when they don't.
  • If you can't persuade someone about something, you don't fully know that thing — not 100%.
