The G.I. Joe Fallacy

Didn't think we'd be talking about action figures, did ya? This week, we're going to explore a concept from Yale's Dr. Laurie Santos, a concept that relates so well to what we're doing around here that it needed its very own episode. If you grew up in the 80's, you maybe saw the cartoon, G.I.

Didn't think we'd be talking about action figures together, did ya?

As a child of the 80's with a younger brother, I not only played my fair share of G.I. Joe, we watched a decent amount of the cartoon, too. And every episode, there was a lesson for the kids along with the show's tagline: "Now you know...and knowing is half the battle."

But is knowing really half the battle? When we're looking to improve upon or change things, does more knowledge really get us where we want to go?

Or does the pursuit of more knowledge keep us stuck in inaction?

This week on podcast, we're talking about what all of this G.I. Joe stuff has to do with coaching, plus optical illusions, and we'll throw in some belief systems for good measure.

It's a good one, folks.​
