38. How Occam's Razor Wins Fights
Season 2 Episode 22
If you get a flat tire, was it a nail or someone slashed your tires? If you failed a test, is it because you' weren't prepared or your teacher is out to get you?
In these situations, it's a common principle to use Occam's Razor to choose between two options. That means, the answer is likely the one that requires the least number of assumptions.
In this episode, we take a look at the common misuse of Occam's Razor and how it actually applies in life, in coaching, and in training. We'll talk about where adding more can make you less safe in self defense and less effective in MMA or even sports in general.
