In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl introduces a phrase he’s been searching for: ecological naïveté—the idea that our instincts were perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists. Using examples from nature and investing, he explains why our ancient wiring makes us want to run from market drops and chase safety, even when we know better. The takeaway? You’re not a bad investor—you’re just human. The work isn’t to fight those instincts, but to notice them with compassion and patience.
