Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident

Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident I never noticed the closeness being built. I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud. Short version: Trauma bonding is usually described as something that happens to you, almost by accident, through unpredictable reward. A 2025 Cambridge study, interviewing eighteen women with sustained attachment to abusive partners, found something sharper underneath that: the closeness itself is often deliberately constructed early on, specifically so it can be exploited later. Researchers call this attachment weaponisation. The unsettling part is that it isn't always obvious while it's happening. It can feel completely organic, right up until you realise how much invisible obligation got built into it along the way. What is attachment weaponisation? A 2025 study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge, published in the journal Violence Aga...

Charlie Munger’s Good Habits List

 1. Read Constantly

Munger famously said:


“In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn’t read all the time—none, zero.”

He devoured books, annual reports, history, psychology—anything that gave him a broader perspective.





2. Think in Mental Models



Instead of relying on one way of thinking, he collected frameworks from multiple disciplines—economics, psychology, math, history—to make better decisions.


“If you don’t have the models, you’re like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.”





3. Practice Deferred Gratification



He avoided short-term temptations in favour of long-term wins. Whether investing, learning, or life choices, he believed the ability to wait was key.





4. Live Below Your Means



Munger never chased flashy lifestyles. He was frugal, practical, and believed wealth came from compounding, not spending.





5. Avoid Toxic People & Habits



He stressed avoiding envy, resentment, and addiction—especially drugs and alcohol.


“Avoiding stupidity is easier than seeking brilliance.”





6. Stay Rational (Especially Under Pressure)



He worked to strip out emotion, hype, and herd mentality from his decisions. Rational thinking was his “superpower.”





7. Keep Learning—Always



He preached lifelong learning:


“Go to bed a little wiser than you woke up.”





8. Focus on the Long Game



Munger didn’t chase quick profits or fads. He cultivated patience—whether in investments, relationships, or building knowledge.





9. Be Reliable & Ethical



He often said you don’t need brilliance to succeed—just avoid dishonourable behaviour, keep your word, and do things that make people want to work with you.





10. Know What to Avoid



Munger believed success often came not from chasing brilliance but from avoiding stupidity:


  • Don’t lie, cheat, or steal.
  • Don’t get into unnecessary conflict.
  • Don’t waste time on things that don’t matter.





👉 His philosophy wasn’t sexy—but it worked. While most people chase hacks and shortcuts, Munger quietly built habits of reading, patience, rationality, and integrity. And that’s how he compounded wisdom and wealth for nearly a century.
