每日原则：不要指望人们能意识到并消除自己的盲点

我经常发现人们形成错误的观点、做出不好的决策，尽管他们此前曾经犯过同样的错误，甚至他们都已经知道这样做不合逻辑而且有害无益。我曾经想过，如果他们意识到自己存在盲点，也许就可以避免掉落陷阱，实际却非如此。我很少听见有人说，因为自己不具备某个特定领域的能力而不宜提供意见。别指望人们能拯救自己，要主动为他们建立起“护栏”，或仅让他们从事某些工作，在这些岗位上，他们不可能就自己不懂的领域做出任何自己不应该做出的决策。

I constantly see people form wrong opinions and make bad decisions, even though they've made the same kinds of mistakes before--and even though they know that doing so is illogical and harmful. I used to think that they would avoid these pitfalls when they became aware of their blind spots, but typically that's not the case. Only very rarely do I hear someone recuse himself from offering an opinion because they aren't capable of forming a good one in a particular area. Don't bet on people to save themselves; proactively guardrail them or, better yet, put them in roles in which it's impossible for them to make the types of decisions they shouldn't make.
