How many prisms do you have?

Have you ever noticed how a husband and wife can tell the same event differently?

It is worth listening to the opinion of three luminaries to clarify the diagnosis of a serious disease.

The FTX exchange turned out to be a Ponzi scheme because, among other things, it lacked a board.

What do such different examples have in common?

No matter what one’s IQ is, one’s sight is a little or a lot off.

How, then, can one bring one’s imagination and reality closer together to avoid disaster?

Any phenomenon needs to be shed light on through different prisms.

100% congruent opinions with yours are irrelevant, whether there are 10 or 100 of them.

Even a black-and-white photograph is not a reduction of a color photograph, for it allows you to see something else.

So when you have to make a meaningful decision, make sure that you are not alone.

It may be several mature people who value the truth over your feelings.

Or someone who carries a lot of prisms of different sizes in his professional valise.

In business, your goal is not so much to grab reality by the tail.

Rather, the goal is to have far fewer illusions than your competitors.

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
