Sahil Bloom: World is run by normal people with action bias
omojumiller · x · 2026-08-31
Omoju Miller shared Sahil Bloom's insight on the danger of dopamine from information gathering vs. taking action.
Bloom argues that many are addicted to the dopamine of planning and learning, using information gathering as a sport to avoid actual execution. He emphasizes that the world isn't run by geniuses, but by normal people with an "abnormal bias for action."
This perspective is highly relevant in the AI era: while information is cheap, execution and the drive to ship remain the true differentiators.
