## Lessons

Written lessons from the cartoons, newest first. Index: https://monkeybusinessman.com/laws/

- [Murphy’s Law](https://monkeybusinessman.com/laws/murphys-law/) (from the 11 November 2026 episode): If a job can be done in more than one way, and one of those ways causes a failure, someone will eventually do it that way, so design and check as if they will.
- [Survivorship bias](https://monkeybusinessman.com/laws/survivorship-bias/) (from the 10 November 2026 episode): If you only study the cases that made it back, the planes that landed, the companies still standing, the reviews that got written, you can mistake missing evidence for evidence of safety or success.
- [The Dunning–Kruger effect](https://monkeybusinessman.com/laws/dunning-kruger-effect/) (from the 8 November 2026 episode): People who are weak at a skill often cannot see how weak they are, because the same knowledge that would improve their performance is also what they would need in order to judge it.

## History

History pages are listed in Lessons, keep their /history/ URLs, and are not in the quiz. Index: https://monkeybusinessman.com/history/

- [The Great Molasses Flood](https://monkeybusinessman.com/history/great-molasses-flood/) (from the 5 November 2026 episode): On 15 January 1919 a poorly built molasses tank in Boston’s North End burst, killed 21 people, and showed what happens when warnings are painted over instead of fixed.
