Positive Feedback Loops

“But today I think about it as my mission in life is to get as many people as possible into positive feedback loops,” Graham Duncan told Tim Ferriss.

It’s why he spends so much time interviewing, talking with, and hanging out with people. “So I like getting the design right up front…I don’t wanna put something into somebody. I wanna have them do the thing that they wanna do anyway.”

Or as someone else said recently: don’t be trying to run up a down escalator.

One joy of YouTube is the rabbit hole. Find a niche and let the algorithm pump your feed full of whatever randomness.

One of my trips was the Toyota Sienna. One reviewer noted: it just doesn’t fight you. It’s not the top categorically – but there are no weaknesses. It’s a “floor-raiser”.

Positive feedback loops. Running up a down escalator. It just doesn’t fight you.

Alignment matters. It doesn’t make the knots less tangled but it makes untying them a lot easier.
