Curious if anyone thought this course was useful? I am only at first section (acquire a model), and third subchapter (How to) but to me it seems like very superficial knowledge.
First of all, it doesn't even give a list of great mental model. I know their point is that its different based on every individual, like a construction needs a different mental model from a doctor etc. But I would be pissed to pay $400 to have someone tell me "go to your school and learn from your reputable teachers in your field".
Also, they say its best to find generic and timeless mental models... So that kind of also makes me question why they don't give any useful ones? The only one they gave (so far) is the "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards" by Søren Kierkegaard, but their explanation is superficial again in my taste. I don't need anyone to tell me its smarter to figure out what kind of house you want, and not just randomly look for houses. I don't need anyone to tell me that you can't sometimes get two goals that are in direct conflict with each other (fast commute with train, but live far out in no where land).
/rant over
Does it get better in future lessons?
and thanks for the course nevertheless, I know I didn't pay a dime for it, and I am quite grateful for your sharing!
