Blind Spot
summary
Argues that the biggest blind spot is data we don't have: survival in value‑based care requires new, precisely measured signals and fast feedback loops so inventions aren’t guesswork; borrows Nate Silver’s point about hard‑to‑measure risks and calls for shifting from scarcity statistics to abundant measurement. Points out behavior drives ~70% of health outcomes while healthcare accounts for ~10%, cites Timothy D. Wilson on narrative and shows that measurement as the intervention builds role‑based mastery that creates a new social role for pursuing health.
