Why Trust Beats Belief · Deep Thoughts

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: What if the greatest limitation in your life is not
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: what you do not know, but rather what you deeply
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: believe you know.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: That idea flips everything we assume about human intelligence completely
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: upside down. I mean, it fundamentally challenges how we perceive
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: our own decision making processes.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Let us unpack this. Today, we are looking at the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: invisible compass driving your career, your money, and your relationships. Specifically,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we are exploring the massive, often misunderstood gap between belief
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and trust.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: People treat those two words as identical and casual conversation.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: They use them interchangeably to describe a feeling of.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Confidence, but they're not the same thing at all.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Not even close. When we analyze how the human brain
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: actually processes reality, belief and trust represent opposing methods of
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: interacting with the world.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Belief seeks absolute certainty, effectively closing the mind to alternative
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: realities that is correct.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Trust, on the other hand, embraces inherent uncertain and it
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: keeps the mind open to continuous observation.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: If we want to understand why prioritizing adaptability over certainty
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: matters so much for your future, we must look at
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: how the human brain constructs its version of reality.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: We need to examine what happens precisely at the moment
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: when concrete evidence runs out.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Because the human mind possesses a profound biological intolerance for
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: informational voids.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: From an evolutionary standpoint, uncertainty signalled immediate physical danger. When
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: ancient humans hurt a rustle in the grass.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Not knowing what caused it, priests to spike in stress hormones.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Indeed, today our brains treat intellectual uncertainty with that same
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: primal stress response.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So when we lack comprehensive data about the future, belief
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: steps in as a cognitive anesthetic.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It provides an immediate illusion of a complete map. It
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: fills in the terrifying blank spaces.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: It acts as the mortar between the bricks of our
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: actual knowledge and the realities we deeply wish we're true.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Trust operates on an entirely different cognitive frequency. Trust accepts
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that total certainty is well an impossible standard.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Instead of demanding a perfect map before taking a step,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Trust relies on continuous, real time observation.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It allows a person to say that, based on the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: rigorous evidence available today, a given path appears reliable enough
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to move forward.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: While strictly retaining the right to turn back. Precisely, I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: challenge that premise for a moment. Yeah, you make beliefs
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: sound inherently dangerous, but did every major scientific revolution or
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: cultural movement not require a massive amount of blind faith
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to even get off the ground.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Your observation highlights a critical nuance. The initial formulation of
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a belief is not inherently destructive.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Someone had to believe in a paradigm that did not
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: yet exist.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Well, beliefs spark the initial fires of scientific and societal progress.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: A belief is highly productive when it functions as a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: working hypothesis.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: It gives individuals a motivation to explore the unknown.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: The danger then emerges much later in the cognitive process.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Beliefs only become a psychological prison when they transform from
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: temporary hypotheses into rigid, immovable identities.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Because belief eventually demands absolute loyalty and permanent devotion from
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the individual holding.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: It, trust conversely demands objective observation, it fully expects to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: evolve as new evidence presents itself.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: To visualize this distinction, consider the engineering required to build
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: two very different bridges across a turbulent, unpredictable river I find.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: This visualization particularly useful.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: The first bridge represents belief. It is constructed entirely of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: massive stone blocks.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: It is esthetically beautiful, entirely immovable, and designed to project
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: an aura of absolute permanence.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It is a monument to certainty.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: However, rivers are dynamic forces of nature.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: If that river naturally changes course over a span of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: several decades, shifting entirely to the.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: East, that magnificent stone bridge becomes completely used.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: It remains standing with supreme confidence. But it merely spines
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: dry land.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The structure refuses to acknowledge the new reality of the environment.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I mean it vividly illustrates how permanence creates eventual irrelevance.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: In stark contrast is the second bridge representing trust. This
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: bridge is a modular, suspension based structure.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It is never built and then simply abandoned to time.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Instead, human engineers constantly inspect its cables.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They replace damaged steel sections, reinforce the pylons, and physically
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: adapt the span of the bridge as the riverbanks erode
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: and shift.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It requires vastly more energy to maintain, but it is
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the only structure guaranteed to survive changing conditions.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: If trust is demonstrably more adaptable and resilient in a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: changing environment, we must ask why the human mind so
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: fiercely protects its immovable stone bridges.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: The answer is rooted in the biological mechanics of cognitive preservation.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: The human brain does not prioritize objective truth.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: It prioritizes internal consistency. The brain represents roughly too two
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: percent of our total body weight, yet it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Consumes twenty percent of our metabolic energy.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: That is a staggering resource requirement, so re willing a
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: fundamental worldview requires an immense amount of metabolic effort.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Therefore, maintaining a unified, undisturbed narrative of who we are
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: requires significantly less energy than constantly tearing down and rebuilding
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: our worldview.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: We are talking about the mechanics of cognitive dissonance.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: When you encounter information that contradicts a deeply.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Held belief, your brain perceives it not just as an
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: intellectual disagreement, but as a genuine physical threat.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It deploys defensive mechanisms to reject the new information and
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: protect the existing neural pathways.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: When logic battles identity, identity almost always emerges victorious.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Changing a deeply held belief through logical argument rarely succeeds
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: because logic is forced to compete against this biological drive
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for preservation.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: We see this mechanism manifest across every layer of modern society.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Consider the political arena.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Voters will passionately defend politicians who are embroiled in undeniable,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: documented scandals.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: They will defend a documented scandal to the bitter end,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: simply because admitting the politician is wrong feels like admitting
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: their own identity is broken.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: The politician serves as an avatar for their own worldview.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: We observe identical behavior in financial markets. Investors will stubbornly
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: hold on to depreciating stocks, literally watching their wealth evaporating.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: They do this solely because admitting a miscalculation inflicts far
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: more psychological damage than the actual financial loss.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: The sum cost fallacy is fundamentally an ego protection mechanism.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: We also see this phenomenon when entire communities reject rigorous
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: scientific discoveries simply because those discoveries threaten long held historical narratives.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Think about the last time you argue a point online
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: long after you realized you might actually be wrong.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: That was not logic, keeping you typing, That was your
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: ego demanding preservation.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: This widespread rejection of evidence quietly feeds the human ego.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: The ego revels in the sensation of absolute certainty.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: It deeply enjoys the comfort and safety of belonging to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a tribe of like minded individuals who constantly validate its
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: pre existing ideas.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Modern digital technology acts as a massive amplifier for this
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: specific cognitive flaw.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Social media algorithms are exquisitely engineered to exploit the ego's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: desire for tribal validation.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: These algorithms do not reward intellectual nuance, nor do they
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: reward thoughtful hesitation.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: They explicitly reward absolute conviction and moral outrage.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Funneling users into digital echo chambers where their initial beliefs
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: are never tested, only hardened.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: The stark takeaway for anyone living in the modern era
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: is this having instantaneous access to the world's information does
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: not automatically produce wisdom.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: In many cases, this unprecedented flow of information only serves
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to reinforce rigid identity and produce stronger, increasingly unyielding beliefs.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: If our internal psychology is so easily manipulated by identity.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: We face an interesting paradox.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: How does anything in our society actually function? Why has
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: the global economy not collapsed? If we are all this
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: prone to self deception.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: When we shift our focus from the internal mind to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the external world, the answer becomes apparent.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Civilization and modern economies run entirely on trust, not belief.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Consider the everyday realities you navigate. You do not hold
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: a spiritual belief that your commercial bank is fundamentally incapable
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: of collapsing.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: You do not hold a blind belief that every commercial
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: airplane will safely touch down on the runway.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: You certainly do not believe that every medical professional is
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: flawless in their execution.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Yet, despite the absence of absolute belief, individuals continually entrust
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: their life savings to the banking system.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: They place their physical safety in the hands of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: aviation industry, and submit their bodies to medical procedures.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: They do so because they trust the underlying systems. You
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: trust the financial safeguards, the regulatory audits, and the cryptographic
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: security of digital banking ledgers.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: In aviation, your relying on millions of overlapping nodes of trust.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: You trust the aerospace engineering, the rigorous maintenance schedules, and
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the statistical weight of decades of accumulated flight data.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: The pilot trust in mechanic who trusts the parts manufacturer,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: who trusts the metallurgist.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: You are describing the fundamental architecture of the global marketplace.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Every successful marketplace functions as a massive, intricate network of
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: distributed trust.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Let us examine Fiat currency. Paper money, or digital numbers
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: in a bank account hold purchasing power not because they're
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: backed by physical gold or intrinsic value.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: They function strictly because participants trust the issuing authority and
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the broader network of users to accept that currency as
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a reliable medium of exchange.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Corporate brands achieve global dominance solely because consumers trust the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: consistency of the product being delivered.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Leaders maintain their political or corporate influence exclusively because their
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: followers trust their judgment.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Over time, history repeatedly demonstrates a harsh reality. When major
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: institutions or governments collapse, it is rarely because the populace
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: suddenly stop believing in a specific ideology.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Institutions collapse the moment people stop trusting the operational mechanisms
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of that institution.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Hyperinflation, for example, is not a failure of belief, it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is a total evaporation of systemic trust.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: We can connect this macroeconomic concept directly to the microdynamics
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: of your personal relationships.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: The strongest relationships in your life do not endure because
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: two people hold a delusional belief that the other person
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is perfect.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: They endure because both individuals continuously demonstrate reliability through their action.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Trust within a relationship is never a commodity that is
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: handed over once and locked in a vault.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: It is a dynamic metric that must be renewed and
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: validated repeatedly.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: When trust is broken in a relationship, repairing it requires
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a tedious, ongoing demonstration of new, reliable behaviors until the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: mental model is updated.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: If trust requires the relentless, deliberate cycle of testing and
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: behavioral renewal, how do the world's highest performers handle this burden?
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: How do they actively practice this framework of trust in
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: intensely high stakes environments.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Elite innovators, groundbreaking scientists, and highly successful investors share a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: deliberate psychological practice. They aggressively challenge their own foundational assumptions.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Their profound confidence does not stem from protecting their ideas
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: from criticism.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Their confidence is generated entirely through the rigorous testing of
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: those ideas. The internal monologue a high performer is wired
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: differently from the average individual.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Instead of asking the standard question to my.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Correct, they train themselves to ask what specific data would
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: prove me wrong?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: They actively hunt for disconfirming evidence.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: This is the essence of scientific falsifiability. You cannot definitively
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: prove a theory is entirely true.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Forever, you can only fail to prove it false.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Under rigorous testing, scientists do not marry their hypotheses. They
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: actively attempt to break them.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Elite investors spend vast amounts of time searching for the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: bear case against their own investments.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: They look for reasons to abandon a strategy before the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: market forces them to do so.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: The smartest room in any given building is never the
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: room filled with rapid, absolute answers.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: It is always the room filled with difficult, probing questions.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The mindset of elite mountaineers provides a perfect analogy for
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: this approach to risk and certainty.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Professional climber is attempting to summit dangerous peaks never place
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: their trust in the mountain itself because.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: They understand that weather patterns will shift violently, loose rocks
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: will fall.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And critical survival equipment will eventually degrade under extreme conditions,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: The mountain is an unpredictable, highly volatile variable.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Instead of trusting the environment to remain safe, they place
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: their absolute trust in their intense preparation.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Their redundant safety systems, and their personal capacity to respond
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to sudden chaos.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Applying this philosophy to daily life is liberating. You cannot
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: control macroeconomic.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Markets, cannot halt the march of technology, and you cannot
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: dictate the behavior of other human beings.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You can, however, cultivate intense personal adaptability.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: This specific type of adaptability requires us to reinterpret a
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: very common trope found within modern self help culture.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: The frequent advice dictating that you must simply trust yourself
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: is deeply misunderstood by the general public.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: It does not imply that you should assume your initial
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: emotional instincts are flawlessly accurate.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Nor does it mean your current beliefs are untouchable.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: True self trust means having unwavering confidence in your ability
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: to learn new information.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: To recover from devastating setbacks, and to fundamentally change your
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: mind when presented with superior data.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Under this framework, mistakes are stripped of their emotional weight.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: They cease to be indictments of your character and become
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: purely objective data points.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Failure ceases to be a reflection of your worth and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: transforms into essential, high quality feedback.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: In this state, you no longer fear the act of
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: being wrong. Your only fear is the tragedy of staying wrong.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: As we synthesize these concepts, one undeniable theme emerges. The
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: future belongs exclusively to the adaptable.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: We are rapidly entering an era dominated by artificial intelligence,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: widespread industrial automation, and revolutionary biotechnology.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: This technological acceleration forces humanity into a paradigm where certainty
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: expires faster than at any point in human history.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: The global economy will no longer reward rigid, uncompromising conviction.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Individuals who cling desperately to rigid beliefs will find themselves
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: struggling to navigate this new terrain.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Strong identities built upon fixed, permanent beliefs are structurally fragile.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: When the environment inevitably changes, those fragile identities fracture under
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the stress let.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Us introduce a specific framework here. There is a profound
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: difference between being fragile, being robust, and being anti fragile.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: A fragile system breaks under stress like a glass dropping
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: on the floor.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: A robust system simply resists the stress and stays the
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: same like a steel beam.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: An anti fragile system, however, actually requires stress and volatility
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: to improve. It grows stronger when challenged.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Human muscle tissue is antifragile. It tears under the stress
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: of lifting weights, only to rebuild itself denser and stronger.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Strong identities constructed upon a foundation of relentless curiosity become antifragile.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They do not merely survive new challenging information.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: They utilize that information to become vastly more intelligent and capable.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: This brings us to a direct challenge for you to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: reflect upon regarding your daily choices. Every single day, you
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: are making a deliberate allocation of your cognitive resources.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Ask yourself how you are spending your mental energy.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Are you spending your precious energy aggressively defending the person
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you have always been? Or are you investing that energy
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in the person you are still becoming?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: True intellectual freedom is realizing that personal growth does not
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: require abandoning your core self.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: It simply requires trusting yourself enough to permit the evolution
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: into someone wiser tomorrow.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Letting go of a stone bridge does not mean you
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: are drowning. It means you are finally learning how to
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: build a dynamic vessel that can navigate the river.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: As we conclude our analysis of this material, there is
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: a final lingering question we must extrapolate from these themes.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: It is a concept for you to ponder independently as
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you navigate your own decisions.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: As we move deeper into a future dominated by advanced
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: We will interact daily with systems engineered to perfectly mimic
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: reliability and supreme confidence.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Large language models already speak with absolute certainty even when
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: hallucinating false information.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: We must ask ourselves a profound new question regarding the
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: nature of our interactions.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: When a machine consistently demonstrates reliability, are we genuinely placing
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: our trust in its true underlying competence, or.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Are we simply trusting its ability to flawlessly perform the
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: illusion of trustworthiness.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Determining the difference between actual competence and the mere performance
• 17:00
