Blank Canvas,Blank Canvas

Jii kicks off How We Decide with a clean metaphor: delete everything that defines you and start with a blank canvas—each color, brush, and pause is a decision. The episode unpacks how “small” choices compound, how environments (affordances) shape what’s realistically possible, and why decision quality tracks information quality. Expect stories, humor, and practical micro-habits you can use today—like a 10-second check, an affordance scan, and “evidence over echo.” References include Alcinda Honwana on waithood and Francis B. Nyamnjoh on everyday conviviality—because our choices live inside relationships, not in a vacuum.
