First principles are deep knowledge which are gained through mastery in a related subject. Ie if i study English Literature to a high level I might be able to grasp many of the ideas behind writing a good history essay quickly. How did I get to that level of skill in English though, through quality study.

Apply your learning skills to something physical(judo, wrestling, kickboxing, jiu jitsu).

[@borregoayudando1481]

to break it down Barney style for those of us who need an analogy to understand "getting to 1st principles":
when you solve chess puzzles, there are moves that leave options for your opponent.
But when you find few or even only one possible legal moves FORCING your oppoent into an end game forcing them into a mate, those are "fundamental truths" in a system of options in a strategy puzzle.
And you can format many queries into logical/strategic puzzles where you examine the configuration of each element to find the most optimized solution and that becomes a "fundametal truth" where you don't need an opponent or a variable outside your control to fumble or align to your confirmation bias for you to win or get your way.
its either "this piece of knowledge is true because it's self evident" or it "conditionally supports a point" in which case it's an anecdote or outlier from the truth you are seeking. If it's close but not fully there, it shouldnt be treated like a foundation for other bits of knowledge.

I am a grandmaster and agree

[@Valentino016]

You can learn anything trust me.

[@MRwubbo]

Why must one trust you specifically

[@thehipsterhamster1929]

@najmuddinazaddin4967 and why one mustn't trust thy partner in thy word?

[@oreo753]

you can actually it just takes a loooooot of effort

[@gokulhemanthkumar4556]

​@@oreo753Once you master the first principles, it doesn't take THAT much effort really, it will become more akin to doing something you already know, but practicing harder to become better. Laying the foundation is the tough part, but doesn't require much time if you do it properly.

I would like to learn how a CRISPR genomics software works by reverse-engineering the principles. I am a first-year ComSci student and haven't even taken my first core class. Wish me luck.

Here’s a first principle I have never understood: what is the point of getting an education? Everyone I’ve asked has told me something along the lines of salary for a job, or social status to get married, or to “learn about the world”, whatever that means, but I failed out of a prestigious university and have acquired all of those things outside of an academic environment, so what is the intrinsic value of being educated? Genuinely asking because getting back into it has been a serious struggle

[@gokulhemanthkumar4556]

Dude, if you managed to acquire all of those outside of an academic environment, you ARE educated my friend! Rejoice! There are multiple ways to being educated, and you have managed to do it outside of the conventional way, much like a lot of people in our past and present, and definitely in future as well. The point of education IS to be a well functioning human being able to meet his needs and desires in our globalised world. It is a tough task in our modern era, what being information doubling and tripling at enormous exponential rates. It's not necessary to acquire this in an academic environment, but it can definitely help to be in that environment with a learning mindset, that's all. I hope I have made the first principles clear to you.

Ngl u look dreamy in here like ur eye look so dreamy.

Love this content

[@raifaryad414]

Please teach how to get this skill

[@khoinotfish]

You can try looking into his videos or his course, even though his course is expensive lol

[@Hana-ri1nb]

Would love to know as well.

[@Nosjjddjjd]

I think you just do. Just try have that question, that concept in your head with a level of focus. I just think WHATS THE POINT OF THIS and like find patterns and connections? Like I learnt something in systems design about how a system is only “perfect” when there is nothing left you can to take away from it. And then while reading about theatre on my own time, an actress said that acting is misconceived as a process of adding on: wigs, costumes and emotions. But it is actually taking away all the things not necessary for the performance, which is much harder and more painful. So I go OHHHH and sort of deduce from there that the process of getting a good, sustained performance is subtractive, not additive. (I can probably word this more concisely lol) It’s a bit different because it was studying + hobby reading but I hope thats what he was talking about.

What are first principles

[@HelloWorld-fg2nm]

The absolute basics

[@iam_kxylee]

Fundamental concepts

[@alishaanimations3058]

Say if you’re learning artithmatic, first principle is like numbers in general; 1 + 1, 1-1,

[@UberBossPure]

@@alishaanimations3058 if you learn arithmetics the principles should be probably + and - and to count from 1-10

[@Valentino016]

Comprehend the basics

[@deinzp10trainer22]

Please Examples

[@DuckChuffinDurries]

No you can't lol

[@terminallucidity]

You can :p
