After researching this area for years, reading everything I could and trying to better understand decision making, I decided to write something about it. Thanks to all those who motivated me with their own work.

Engineering has ideas tested against physical outcomes. In psychology and leadership, ideas are often tested against attention. This creates an incentive to rename or reframe concepts to for attention. A grift. This helps individuals stand out but undermines progress.

I applaud the GRDC for looking into the world of decision making- but feel like this is a missed opportunity. This does nothing to help growers make better decisions, except add more confusion.

Because AI tools are trained on human behaviour, not human values, it means that it learns from the human ‘System 1’ brain or through our ‘wants’. This makes it bad for helping you decide in certain aspects.
Use AI as a ‘thinking partner’ but not a ‘decision maker’

I love reading about history but especially the history of the regions during settlement. This newsletter would have to be the best I have seen for a local area (my home). $20 a year and it’s never dull.

Doing a thing on how disinformation is spreading ahead of the Australian election. If anyone's seen anything related to this particular fake list of election policies, hit me up. As far as I can tell it began circulating on X on 14 July 2024 and was still being shared widely last month.

My Facebook profile is full of sponsored posts from beautiful women that spruik how amazing Elon Musk is. All the same post. Would be costing thousands of $ to do. Very obvious brand rebuilding which makes it even worse.

Warren Buffet, through BH, has $300B in cash and has been waiting for this to happen. He will clean up over the next 3 years and turn that $300B into $1T.
