Welcome to another short episode of Info under the radar, the show where we deconstruct everyday ideas, concepts, and subjects that surround us.
In this episode, Devendra and Vishwajeet discuss the concept of First Principles Thinking. First Principle Thinking has gained quite a bit of traction in pop culture due to usage by people such as Elon Musk or Reed Hastings.
We have covered the origins of the term, its practical application, when to use the first principle, how to use it, what is analogical thinking and how it differs from the first principle thinking, why analogical thinking is important for survival, and many other practical examples showcasing how one could use the first principle thinking or reasoning.
