1/ I recently finished digging into a body of work around extracted tacit mental models of business expertise, and it is wild.

It turns out that business experts all share a common mental model of business, and you can do all sorts of interesting things if you have that model.

I have a little obsession with recessions. I was 8 when the Asian Financial Crisis hit.

That's not old enough to understand, but my dad got laid off. And so I have very distinct memories of the period.

So I've always wondered: how do you get GOOD at dealing with recessions?

This is one of the more important threads I’ve ever written I think.

Mostly because of the implications of the ideas therein.

Over the last few days I’ve spent a lot of time talking about how 'sensemaking is the heart of expertise'.

You know: "if you can get novices to see like experts, you'll accelerate their expertise"

Which, cool!

But a common question is: “ok ... so what about maths?”
