title: First Principles
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## What is it about?
|
|
About thinking in terms of the fundamental truths that make up the chosen issue and building solutions based on them.

|
|
|
One of the most current and outstanding examples of the use of first-order thinking is the problem-solving style of [[Knowledge/People/Elon Musk]]. The SpaceX project took spaceflight apart and identified a problem (high costs) and found a solution (reusable rockets).

|
Certainly, reasoning from the level of first-order principles can lead to extremely different results, especially when combined with more up-to-date knowledge compared to the time in which the existing solution was developed. |
