"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darkness of other people." - Carl Jung
The teacher learns more than the student.
The author learns more than the reader.
The speaker learns more than the attendee.
The way to learn is by doing.

One way to implement a First-Principles understanding approach is to employ Socratic questioning.
These are the kind of questions Socrates would ask...(🧵)

1/ Clarification questions
"What do you really mean by that?"
"Can you elaborate further?"
"Can you give an example of that?
"What do you really mean by that?"
"Can you elaborate further?"
"Can you give an example of that?
2/ Questions about the issue
"Why is this important?"
"What does this solve?"
"How does this impact XYZ?"
"Why is this important?"
"What does this solve?"
"How does this impact XYZ?"
3/ Assumption questions
"What are we assuming here?"
"Is this assumption correct?"
"What else can we assume?"
"What are we assuming here?"
"Is this assumption correct?"
"What else can we assume?"
4/ Evidence questions
"What is the source backing this argument?"
"What is your reasoning behind this argument?"
"What is the source backing this argument?"
"What is your reasoning behind this argument?"
5/ Counter questions
"What is the argument against this?"
"What if the opposite were true?"
"What is the argument against this?"
"What if the opposite were true?"
The disciplined practice of thoughtful questioning enables the scholar/student to examine ideas and be able to determine the validity of those ideas.

The Paradox of Focus:
Moving boldly in one direction not only increases your odds of getting there, but also increases your odds of picking up unexpected rewards along the way.
Make the most of one opportunity and more opportunities come your way. To get more, focus on less.

Every ambitious person who spends a lot of time online should have a “serendipity vehicle.”
A blog, podcast, YouTube channel, Twitter account, or anything where you can create opportunities by sharing ideas in public.

"Resist the urge to make the conversation about yourself."
You are inclined to interject yourself in every conversation. Instead, just listen and listen and try to disclose as little information about yourself as possible.
Make the other person feel like they were robbed of information after talking with you (without being interrogative).
Listen, be silent, and look at them. They will keep talking.
It takes some practice to do, but when you learn to do it, you suddenly become a "good conversationalist", which is ironic, because you're hardly doing any speaking.
