I Have A Bad Rote Memory, But I Tend To Learn Through My Experiences. And Then When I Went Into The Markets, And Then Starting My Business As An Entrepreneur, That Affected My Thinking A Lot, Too, Because In Order To Be Successful As Both An Investor And An Entrepreneur, One Has To Be An Independent Thinker And Bet Against The Consensus And Be Right. Because The Consensus Is Built Into The Price, And If You're Not An Independent Thinker In The Markets You Won't Succeed. And If You're Not An Independent Thinker As An Entrepreneur Starting Out, You're Not Going To Bring Anything Special.

To Have An Idea Meritocracy, One Needs To Do Three Things. First, They Have To Put Their Honest Thoughts On The Table, For Everyone To Look At And Everyone To Work Through.

And You Can Work Through That And Get To Better Answers Because Good Collective Decision Making Is Better Than Any Individual Decision Making. And Third, You Have To Have Ways Of Getting Past The Disagreements If They Remain.
