Argue Against Yourself Before Life Does — Inspired by Darwin

You reviewed the decision carefully. You looked at the numbers. You asked the right people. So why did it still fall apart? Most reviews look for reasons a decision works. Darwin spent forty years doing the opposite — and it is the reason his theory survived every challenge for over a century. This video walks through a four-move exercise built from his practice. It finds the argument you are quietly ignoring, before life forces you to confront it. • Why favorable evidence sticks and unfavorable evidence slips away without announcing itself • Darwin's golden rule: what it was, why he kept it, and what it meant for how he worked • The four moves for finding the assumption your decision is leaning on hardest • How to identify the counterargument you spent the least time with — and follow it forward • The three mistakes that cancel the whole exercise, including the most common one • How to apply the same four moves to a career change, a business partnership, or a retirement allocation For financial, medical, legal, or employment decisions, this exercise is for preparing better questions — not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.
