#note/sourcereview/article | #note/sourcereview/book ## What is the thesis? There is some weather that no one can survive in. Our [[situational awareness]] is a key to helping us perceive, process, and project risk appropriately. ## Am I convinced and why? Yes, this book embodies so much about what I believe about [[Deciding]] in high-risk situations. ## Summarize the argument We can use interruptions or pauses to purposefully consider if we should keep doing what we are doing, or if a set of pre-existing decisions is at play. Approaches to structured thinking, such as [[premortem]]s and summarizations can help a group think better than an individual. [[group thinking is different than individual thinking]]. Being alone and starting to suffer from hypothermia is a special combination of factors that can lead to high risk situations. One's personality and tolerance can be both a blessing and a curse. [[emotion changes the world we are in]], and if we are emotionally attached to an outcome of "success," we are less likely to turn around. ## What is the other side of the argument? [[risk is what is left after everything you have thought of]], so when you consider your contingencies, you have to consider how they are changing over time, and what new data you have. The same mental set-point of failure is not an option can be a blessing or a curse, depending on context. ## What else do I wonder about? How can I continue my plan for hiking after my shifts without undue risk? ## Action Have a set of friends I plan with, have a plan A and plan B. Plan A is with people, plan B is alone or bad weather. ## When do I want to stumble across this? #on/risk | #on/decisions | #on/metacognition ## Source: Gagne, T.
