Six Challenges. Six Principles.

Posted on by

Six basic human challenges in three (categories): 

  • Decisions & Behavior (Brains)
  • Health & Fitness (Bodies)
  • Conflict & Cooperation (Tribes)

Six principles to tackle the six challenges:

Decisions

We humans are rational. We make decisions based on knowledge, wisdom and memory.

Behavior

We humans are emotional. Our decisions are influenced by our perception of risk, opportunity and our role in society.

Health

We humans are anti-fragile. Cycles of stress and recovery make us stronger.

Fitness

We humans are natural born heroes. We have a blend of strength, endurance and coordination which provides extraordinary physical capacity.

Conflict

We humans are selfish. We are at all times individuals. Conflict is generated by disagreements over the allocation of attention, support and resources.

Cooperation

We humans are social. We are at all times members of society. We are innately aware of vision, unity and boundaries.
