It seems like investors are especially obsessed with the psychology of decision making - high stakes, after all - but all kinds of decisions, whether in life or business - like dating, product management, what to eat or watch on Netflix - are an "investment portfolio" of decisions... even if you sometimes feel like you're making one big decision at a time (like, say, marriage or what product to develop next or who to hire).
Obviously, not all decisions are equal; in fact, sometimes we don't even have to spend any time deciding. So how do we know which decisions to apply a robust decision process too, which ones not to? What are the strategies, mindsets, tools to help us decide? How can we operationalize a good decision process and decision hygiene into our teams and organizations? After all, we're tribal creatures - our opinions are infectious (for better and for worse) - so how do we convey vs. convince, and not necessarily agree but inform to decide? Especially given common pitfalls (resulting, hindsight bias, etc.), and "the paradox of experience", including even (and more so) winning vs. losing.

Why social media is so good at polarizing us Mathematicians are teaming up with political scientists to create models of how social media divides us, and results suggest at least one popular solution might actually make the problem worse
Editor's Note: According to David Sabin-Miller and Daniel Abrams, creators of this latest model, exposing us to viewpoints different from our own, in whatever medium we encounter them, might actually be part of the problem. The reason is probably intuitive for anyone who has the misfortune to spend an unhealthy amount of time on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube or even cable news. (During the pandemic, that's more of us than ever.) Because social media and Balkanized TV networks tend to highlight content with the biggest emotional punch - that is, they operate on the principle that if it's outrageous, it's contagious - when we're exposed to a differing view, it often takes an extreme form, one that seems personally noxious. Mr. Sabin-Miller and Dr. Abrams, both mathematicians, call this effect "repulsion." In addition to the "pull" of repeatedly seeing viewpoints that reinforce our own, inside of our online echo chambers, repulsion provides a "push" away from opposing viewpoints, they argue. Importantly, this repulsion appears to be a more powerful force, psychologically, than attraction to our own side of a debate.

Why IPOs, Direct Listings, and SPACs Will Flourish in Startupland Most high-growth software investors value public companies on enterprise value to forward revenue multiple.

The public markets project revenue for the next 12 months What if we could compare the relative valuation multiples of public and private high growth software companies? What conclusions could we draw?
