Most thinking is comparison. You look at what already exists and tweak it. First-principles reasoning is the opposite. You strip a problem down to what you actually know is true, then build back up from there. This program teaches you the discipline of starting from zero. You will learn to question assumptions that feel like facts, decompose problems into their underlying parts, and build solutions that are not borrowed from elsewhere. This is the thinking method behind original work, original businesses, and original lives.
