open-mindedness and logical fallacies

I absolutely love identifying and understanding logical fallacies. This video makes excellent work of both.

time, information, and decision-making

From Seths Blog:

"First rule of decision making: More time does not create better decisions. In fact, it usually decreases the quality of the decision.

More information may help.

More time without more information just creates anxiety, not insight."

I think this is solid advice, but did find something a bit missing. As Ashely put quite well: the problem that holds us back from making decisions is not always waiting to have right information, rather it's not knowing when enough is enough.

Seth Godin, Barry Scwartz, and Aristotle

Seth Godin: There's bigger, and then there's better. You're never going to be the biggest, so it seems like being better is a reasonable alternative.

Barry Schwartz: There are those who make decisions based on whether or not available choices meet a standard (satisficers) and those who make decisions based on whether any given choice is the best choice possible (maximizers). The biggest difference between satisficers and maximizers is that satisficers are happy.

Aristotle: Balance in all things.

Just some thoughts I was putting together this morning. What do you take out of them?
