Sure, here’s three points, even though there’s many more (I can’t be bothered to type them all out):
This whole thing sounds like it was cooked up by some LinkedIn startup blogger who wanted to sound deep. Very little of this advice is generally applicable.
Also be aware that the tactic being used here (framing every step as if it’s a paradox) is a literary device intended to make the content sound more legitimate. This is related to the rhyme-as-reason effect, where someone is more likely to believe something if it rhymes.
thanks to have take the time for that illuminationg comment. I had a feeling it was all bullshit by the lack of reference
Each of these "paradoxes" appear to be built on psych/philosophical concepts. I think the only misstep was naming the infographic.
The effects and techniques you mentioned are certainly grounded in reality and I love studying all of them! However the conclusions made in the infographic are quite a reach. For example, “information abundance” would be a bad generalization of “choice overload”.
Better to just study these real principles instead of whatever this guy cooked up.
