ABOUT THE VIDEO
_
In this video, I talk about trust, partnerships, partner selection, relationships, cooperation, and prediction.
We can’t live life without partners, and the right partners can increase the freedom we experience in life. And the right partner is trustworthy, and a good signal of trustworthiness is whether or not someone has long-term relationships with partners that have voluntarily chosen to be in that relationship. But this signal is just a way to predict someone’s trustworthiness, and all predictions run the risk of being wrong. We can improve our ability to predict through experimentation with new and untested ideas, and we can minimize the risk we face by being wrong with insurance.
