The physics way of looking at the world
An enabler of progress
It as well turns out to be useful for pushing technology-enabled human progress. It has been extensively used by innovators like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel or Jeff Bezos. They have applied it to problems in many different industries.
It has evolved from the scientific (and especially the physics) quest of understanding the deepest and most fundamental realities, mechanisms & constraints that govern natural phenomenon in the universe.
Here is how you could help me
Innovators like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos have often talked about the value of first principle thinking. However, it has long been rather unclear what that actually means, in a practical, applicable way.
So I've tried to codify first principle thinking as a conceptual framework that can be applied to real problems.
Now I'm looking for two things:
