INVERSION — Super mental model that enhances wisdom by 100 times.
“Hope for the best. Plan for the worst.” — Anonymous
Mental models are tools that allow us to simplify complex situations and make sense of the situation in the world around us.
Out of these mental models, Inversion is the most powerful and dominating I found in my life with clear-cut examples:
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Every picture has two sides.
- What could go wrong?
- Black and White.
- Life and Death
- Tit for Tat.
- Karma.
Inversion involves reversing a situation to gain a fresh perspective or solve problems more effectively it starts with,
“How can I avoid failure or prevent undesirable outcomes?”
This mindset shift allows individuals to identify potential pitfalls or obstacles ahead of time and develop strategies to counter them.
INVERSION: a reversal of position, order, form, or relationship. It used to revert face value of given information about reality.
