Ep 211: A Good Decision Is Not the Same Thing as a Good Outcome

Dela

Not every good decision can guarantee a good outcome, and the idea that it can is quietly torturing you over decisions using a measuring stick that was never fair to begin with.

In this episode, we’re talking about a trap that’s easy to fall into: judging a decision by how it turns out in the future instead of judging it by what you actually knew and had available when you made it.

An outcome is not evidence about the quality of the decision you made. An outcome is just what happened. Those two things are completely different, but we constantly conflate them. You’ll hear why that distinction matters so much, how to make thoughtful decisions in the face of uncertainty, and why all you can do is make the best decision you can with the information and tools you have.
