  • In addition to a challenging health crisis, the pandemic doubled as a grand intellectual test, and most of us failed it. Not all, but most. If you want to be better prepared for the next test, and I guarantee you there’ll be plenty more, you better begin studying now.

    Start by asking yourself this question more often: But what if I’m wrong?

    But what if you’re wrong?

    Wait, this is exactly what made people and governments react with strict measures - they asked themselves “What if I’m wrong?” and didn’t accept the risk, had they chosen differently. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ
