1/9 Ever felt paralyzed by indecision, unable to choose between two equally good options? Meet the paradoxical "Buridan's Donkey" š“, a mental model that epitomizes this struggle. #ThinkersToolkit 
2/9 This model is named after the 14th-century philosopher Jean Buridan. The donkey, positioned exactly midway between two identical bales of hay, dies of hunger, unable to make a rational decision to eat from one or the other. #MentalModels
3/9 Buridan's Donkey is a metaphor for the paradox of choice. We often face situations where we're torn between equally appealing options. The inability to choose can lead to inaction, which is a choice in itself - often detrimental. #DecisionMaking

After getting married, my wife and I moved to a rented place that had a hole in the wall for a picture-tube television šŗ It could only fit the smallest television. Upon becoming home owners a few years later, the first thing we did was mount a big flatscreen facing the couch.
How did it matter? At the rental with the basic entertainment set-up we spent more time having friends over or trying out recipes in the kitchen. At our own place, we were glued to the couch. We had drastically lowered the activation energy to binge-watch. š
