Today’s post was hard for me to write because I have to indirectly admit that I am probably not as smart and knowledgeable as I think I am. But dealing with cognitive dissonance is part of becoming a better investor, so here we go. Last Friday, I talked about how I was trained at university not to memorise facts but memorise how to find the facts and information I need to solve a given problem. The problem is that if you are focusing your efforts more on how to find the right information you spend less energy on remembering the information. People who knew that certain information was easily available via a Google search would remember less of the content but better remember how to Google it.
