    The difficulty, in 1st principles, is asking the right questions.

    It is really hard to find the direction of the right question. Where should I start to ask.

    Good nugget. Like the "cover band" analogy. First Principles = Writing your own Songs. Back to the drawing board everyone!

    It’s like epistemology but you gotta pick your battles or you won’t move forward

    So it's just question everything but not to the point it immobilizes you?

    This guy just regurgitated what Elon Musk has been saying for years. Perhaps he should use first principles to come up with another example.

    U can't use first principle in everywhere... Reason blocks lost trait when system built over the time

    So he just lifted Musk's first-principle thinking for SpaceX and tried to pass it off as his own? Nice.

    So you simply ask why it didn't work and use that to make something else work.

    How this guy has recited Elon Musk's decades-long exact thoughts for 4 minutes without mentioning his name is ironic
