This principle is distillation of many concepts.

2019-02-02 19:08:49 UTC  

Once you reach a core principle, there isn't anything smaller.

2019-02-02 19:08:57 UTC  

At least, nothing that still makes sense.

2019-02-02 19:09:05 UTC  

how can you be sure ?

2019-02-02 19:09:14 UTC  

Because that's the nature of a principle.

2019-02-02 19:09:29 UTC  

yeah ik it is, but how do you know you've reached a first principle

2019-02-02 19:09:34 UTC  

is there a test?

2019-02-02 19:09:53 UTC  

Yeah, I haven't found anything smaller that still makes sense.

2019-02-02 19:10:03 UTC  

the only test you could do is try and break out of it and see if you can reach the same output with less nested logic

2019-02-02 19:10:16 UTC  

what does 'smaller' mean

2019-02-02 19:10:23 UTC  

larger scope of application?

2019-02-02 19:10:31 UTC  

A more granular approach.

2019-02-02 19:10:50 UTC  

how do uno it's more granular

2019-02-02 19:10:56 UTC  

less nested logic?

2019-02-02 19:11:06 UTC  

Sure, that's one way.

2019-02-02 19:11:12 UTC  

what's another way

2019-02-02 19:11:22 UTC  

Simpler individual concepts.

2019-02-02 19:11:28 UTC  

that's the same thing

2019-02-02 19:11:31 UTC  

More concise language.

2019-02-02 19:12:08 UTC  

Oh, so, less nested logic is code for all possible ways to break down a concept?

2019-02-02 19:12:51 UTC  

fuck sake my dad is telling me about the rugby

2019-02-02 19:12:53 UTC  

give me 3 mins

2019-02-02 19:13:13 UTC  

I may have to save Raccoon City. Or help Dutch make money.

2019-02-02 19:13:19 UTC  

Xy what makes up a concept? it's nested logic

2019-02-02 19:14:23 UTC  

O___o, how high are you all?

2019-02-02 19:14:38 UTC  

i had a monster earlier

2019-02-02 19:14:41 UTC  

so i'm just intense

2019-02-02 19:15:01 UTC  

I'm stone cold sober.

2019-02-02 19:16:05 UTC  

is woke weeb here

2019-02-02 19:18:18 UTC  

I think he went to dinner.

2019-02-02 19:18:30 UTC  

nice

2019-02-02 19:23:11 UTC  

Xy how do you archive your thoughts?

2019-02-02 19:23:13 UTC  

mind map?

2019-02-02 19:25:50 UTC  

I don't have a meta method for archiving my thoughts.

2019-02-02 19:26:14 UTC  

They are integrated into my person and reconstructed and reinforced.

2019-02-02 19:26:30 UTC  

But, I suppose a mind map might be an interesting diagram.

2019-02-02 19:27:35 UTC  

My iq just went up 2 points

2019-02-02 19:28:47 UTC  

@JDB If you are wondering about the best ways to learn/memorize, I can help you.

2019-02-02 19:29:20 UTC  

I've researched this extensively for many years now. A good way is to use mnemonics. These are memory techniques often used in the world memory championships.

2019-02-02 19:29:40 UTC  

I recommend that you check out nelson dellis and the method of loci 😃 That's what I used to memorize a deck of cards and PI to 100 digits.

2019-02-02 19:30:34 UTC  

And if you're talking about day-to-day usage, it's good to visualize things, have intermittent repetition of the item and to try to teach the item to someone else. That's how you learn more effectively. If you're really curious, follow the MOOC: "Learning how to learn"
