The Principle
During the coordination of knowledge between two or more people working toward a definite purpose in a spirit of goodwill... no two minds ever come together without creating a third invisible force—a third mind. — Napoleon Hill
| Input | Effect |
|---|---|
| Mentors | Accelerate learning through their mistakes |
| Peers | Sharpen thinking through friction |
| Models | Show what's possible through example |
| AI | Extend pattern recognition at scale |
The question isn't if other minds influence you. It's which ones and by design or default.
The Filter
Not all influence is equal:
| Signal | Noise |
|---|---|
| Track record | Opinions without stakes |
| First principles | Borrowed conviction |
| Skin in the game | Commentary from the sidelines |
| Changed their mind | Never wrong, never learning |
Seek minds that have been tested—and updated their models when reality pushed back.
