What Gabriel Weinberg actually said

  1. Gabriel Weinberg by Founder and CEO of the search engine DuckDuckGo
    I find mental models are useful to try to make sense of things and to help generate ideas. To actually be useful, however, you have to apply them in the right context at the right time. And for that to happen naturally, you have to know them well and practice using them.
