Retardmaxxing: the best cure for overthinking

The gist

1. Chamath says most overthinking comes from comparing yourself to curated social media content, not your actual circumstances.
2. His fix is to just do the thing or skip it, then observe the result and adjust rather than debating it internally.
3. For big decisions, he suggests mapping them as a turn-based game with clear players and strategies to remove ego from the analysis.
4. He also recommends finding one trusted person, like a spouse or mentor, who will call out your blind spots honestly.
