📚 Cross-disciplinary learning's investment value:
1. Psychology → Understanding market emotions and cognitive biases
2. Accounting → Reading the real story behind financial statements
3. History → Understanding economic cycles and bubble patterns
4. Biology → Understanding corporate evolution and competitive ecosystems

Munger said: 'To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.' Diverse knowledge reveals opportunities invisible to others.

Usage Tips

Is the AI's 1-10 rating reliable?
⚠️ AI's "learning depth score" helps judge whether your understanding of an investment area is deep enough, avoiding superficial knowledge.

How to interpret:
- **8-10 (deep understanding)**: Your understanding enables independent high-quality judgments in this area
- **5-7 (moderate understanding)**: You grasp the basics but lack deep insight — invest more conservatively or keep learning
- **1-4 (surface understanding)**: Knowledge is superficial — investing here equals gambling

Munger said: Every smart person I've met in my life reads every day. AI can't replace your learning, but it can accelerate efficiency and help you quickly find areas needing deeper study.
