FILE 1: THE AI THREAT LANDSCAPE
- AI waits for proof; humans move on instinct.
- Certainty is a luxury our biology never had - and our success depends on the courage to act without it.
- In a world of prediction, the bravest act is motion.
FILE 2: THE SCIENCE EVIDENCE
- Action Bias: we prefer doing to waiting.
- Risk-as-Feelings: emotion outvotes logic.
- Courage Signals: visible risk-taking inspires others.
DECLASSIFIED EVIDENCE FILE: How Your Brain Is Wired: An Owner’s Manual
“When making a decision, people look for anchors or reference points they know and can rely on, and work from there.” (p. 39)
“We are wired with a tendency to stick to the status quo, to avoid rocking the boat, and to put off doing things that are just not part of our everyday plan.” (p. 50)
All manner of experiments attest to the significance of framing in its various forms, whether that involves presenting or interpreting the information differently or priming people to respond in a particular way. In other words, if you want people to believe something or behave in a particular way, science has shown that you can do it (and you can use it on yourself too). (p. 236)
FILE 3: THE HUMAN EDGE
- AI models risk. Humans model courage.
- Instinct is the innovation engine.
FILE 4: INTELLIGENCE AND SKILLSETS GAINED
- Trust your neural yes
- Turn hesitation into momentum.
- Builds cultures that move before the model does.
