Quality on the Far Side of Language with Chris Mayer

In this conversation, we explore the ideas at the heart of The Unspeakable Level — a book that explores questions that are often difficult to articulate, yet fundamental to how we understand the world. Chris invites us to adopt a deeper humility about what can truly be known. In particular, he challenges the common tendency — especially in business and investing — to mistake familiarity for understanding: believing that because we can name something, read about it, and analyze it through numbers or language, we therefore grasp it.

The result is a conversation about perception and attention — one that offers practical ways to see more clearly and avoid the conceptual traps that often mislead even experienced decision-makers.
