Canon

Senra: Munger read across every discipline — physics, biology, psychology, history, economics — and built mental models from each. His mentors were not business leaders but scientists, philosophers, and historians. The most diverse mentorship library in investing history.
Senra: Munger's deepest motivation was not money but the responsibility to think clearly. Sloppy thinking was morally offensive to him. His meaning came from the obligation to be rational in an irrational world.
