I’m learnt something recently about insights.
They’re most valuable when tied to an action.
Then, it’s called an assertion.
The issue is that when you tie an insight to an action to make an assertion, you’re on the hook. You might be wrong, and people can find out.
That’s called learning.
I hope that, over time, as we tie more insights to actions through assertions, we’ll learn more, faster, and do more things on purpose.
In the spirit of assertions, here’s one of my own.
The current property ownership system (around here, at least) doesn’t work for most people. (Insight)
Individual ownership doesn’t help, and collective ownership will help reshape our approach, and therefore outcomes, to property. (Action)
Now all that is left, is to do it.
