    The idea of making predictions before getting the answer really stood out to me. Being wrong isn't a failure if it helps you update your mental model. That's a powerful way to learn.

    This video made me realize that being smart isn’t really about knowing all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, being willing to be wrong, and knowing how to learn from your mistakes. The smartest mind might not be the one that knows the most, but the one that keeps updating itself. 🧠

    The scary part isn&apos;t that our brains make these mistakes… it&apos;s that they can make us feel completely certain while doing it. 🧠<br>What&apos;s one decision you made that you thought was rational at the time—but looking back, you can see your brain was probably playing tricks on you?<br>I&apos;m genuinely curious about this one. 👇
