Learning Methods

Let's put it this way: you can think of these two concepts as two different ways of "deconstruction." Critical thinking is more like "finding flaws" and "quality inspection.

Hello, this is a very interesting question. Using "first principles" might sound profound, but simply put, it's a way of thinking that digs deep into the root cause, like a very curious child constant...

Don't panic, I've got this. Encountering a new question type in an exam feels like you've trained for a 100-meter dash, but the referee suddenly hands you a gun and tells you to shoot.

Imagine learning a complex course is like building a house with your bare hands. Many people, given a pile of bricks, wood, and cement (which are the scattered knowledge points in the course), start h...

Hello, this is a very interesting question. I'll try to explain my thoughts in simple terms. You can think of it this way: when we usually learn things and understand the world, it's often like "cooki...

Absolutely, you've hit the nail on the head with this question. First principles thinking, in essence, is a habit of "digging to the root" of things.

Great question! This concept might sound abstract, but in practice, it's very down-to-earth. I'll try my best to explain it in plain language.

Absolutely, and one could argue it's one of its most crucial roles. Let me explain with a simple analogy; you might find it easier to understand.

Haha, that's an interesting question. Let me try to share my thoughts in plain language. When we were in school, teachers often used to say: "Memorize this definition; it will be on the exam.

This is an excellent question, and it's precisely the key to learning mathematics, or any science for that matter. Many people think mathematics is a game for geniuses, but in large part, it's just a ...

I totally get that feeling. It's like you set out to understand "how a car works," but you keep disassembling it, and eventually, you're just staring at a pile of nuts and bolts, having forgotten why ...

Let's put it this way: it's like the difference between "memorizing recipes" and "understanding cooking." Memorizing knowledge is like memorizing recipes.

Hey friend, that's an excellent question! It shows you're no longer content with just 'rote memorization,' which is a crucial step in mastering any challenging subject.

这问题挺有意思的，就像在问我们是该给孩子一张现成的地图，还是教他们怎么造指南针和读懂星象。 我的看法是，第一性原理很难成为教育体系的“核心”方法，但它绝对应该成为其中一个“必备”的底层能力。 为什么不能是核心？ 很简单，因为效率太低了。我们人类文明能发展到今天，靠的就是“站在巨人的肩膀上”。牛顿发现了三大定律，我们直接拿来用就行了，不需要每个中学生都从观察苹果落地开始重新推导一遍。

Hello, I'm delighted to discuss this topic with you. Learning with "first principles" might sound profound, but simply put, it's about not just copying homework, but understanding how the homework its...

Hey there! It's great to see your interest in AI – that's an awesome start! Don't worry, while AI sounds super cool and complex, getting started isn't as mysterious as you might think.

Hello! I really resonate with this question—I wrestled with the same dilemma when I first started Pilates. Below, I’ll break it down for you in plain language based on my own experience.

Hello there! That's an excellent question. This idea of Naval Ravikant's can truly be counted as one of the cornerstones of his philosophy. Let me explain why he places such high importance on the int...

Okay, here is the translation: Good point, this is a very interesting question and a core concept in Naval's philosophy. If you've listened to his podcasts or read his quotes, you'll notice he emphasi...
