The Ancients' Approach

A Guide to Making Decisions Like a Sage

By the wise and venerable, Zorvath the Unyielding

In a world of chaos and uncertainty, the Ancients knew a thing or two about making decisions. Their approach, passed down through the ages, is a guiding principle for those who seek wisdom and clarity. Here are some key takeaways:

1. Listen to Your Gut (But Not Too Much)

The Ancients understood that sometimes you just have to follow your instincts, but also recognized the dangers of blind faith. They recommended a 50/50 split: 50% gut, 50% critical thinking. Anything more than that and you're just asking for trouble.

2. Seek Council of the Wise (But Not Too Much)

The Ancients knew that surrounding yourself with wise advisors is key to making sound decisions. But beware, for too much council can lead to indecision. Find the right balance: a council of 3-5 wise individuals will suffice.
