🧠 Why Judgment Training Feels Personal
Training judgment is uniquely challenging because it's deeply connected to our identity. When someone criticizes our judgment, it feels like they're attacking:
• Our brain
• Our identity
• All our accumulated knowledge
This is fundamentally different from learning technical skills like math or cooking, where criticism is easier to accept.
The contrast is stark:
- Bad at statistics? → Open to learning
- Bad judgment? → Feels like "a dagger to the heart"
This personal connection makes judgment one of the hardest skills to develop, yet it's becoming the most crucial skill in our era of infinite leverage.
