Poor Charlies Almanac.

Last winter, in late 2022, I wrote a piece using Charlie Munger's The Psycology of Human Misjudgment.

My main purpose was to process my observations and judgments of a potential agriculture food crisis.

In Munger's speech, he explains why we behave the way we do. To listen to it, follow up with Poor Charlie's Almanac, Robert Cialdini's Influence, and follow up the generals of agriculture media news or a trip to rural America could do all of our nation good. With Mr. Mungers passing on TuesdayAmerica lost one heck of a thinker.

The following is my checklist following the mental tools that have been passed to us.
