this ship go past. You see the scientist inside, dropping a ball. You register
the vertical change in the position of the ball. But you are also able to see
a horizontal change. As the ball was pulled down by gravity it also shifted
its position east by about 20 feet. The ship moved through the water and
therefore so did the ball. The scientist on board, with no external point of
reference, was not able to perceive this horizontal shift. __”

The other half of the book is Charlie Munger quotes. I would say skip the
trouble and go straight to reading “Almanack”.

Really nicely presented site, but I can't be the only one who's tired of what
feels like people constantly "name dropping" these models to make a point.
Just because it has a name doesn't magically make your argument more
impactful, you still have to convince me.

Similar to the fallacy fallacy:

The fallacy fallacy is a logical fallacy which occurs when someone assumes
that if an argument contains a logical fallacy, then its conclusion must
necessarily be wrong.

Thanks for sharing! I like the simple design. One piece of feedback I got when
I wrote a blog post about mental models [1] was that mental models are easy to
understand, but people struggle to figure out how to actually use them. In
addition to the examples, it would be great to add concrete applications to
each cards.
