Summary ⤵️
In this video, I break down First Principles Thinking — the mental framework behind how great innovators reason from truth instead of imitation.

Most people copy what already exists. They don’t reason — they reference.

But creativity doesn’t come from imitation — it begins with reduction.

When you strip ideas down to their essence, you free yourself to recombine truths in new ways — and that’s where real innovation begins.

✅ What First Principles Thinking actually is
✅ Why analogical thinking limits creativity
✅ How to identify and escape inherited assumptions
✅ The “car” example that makes this concept crystal clear

What I cover:
– The difference between reasoning from analogy vs. reasoning from truth
– How inherited assumptions silently shape our decisions
– The process of breaking things down to their fundamental parts
– Why this framework unlocks creativity, clarity, and originality

If you’ve ever felt stuck repeating what others do — this video will show you how to think from scratch.
