Learn what a philosophical razor is and how to construct your own razor for better thinking. Philosophical razors are principles that favor simplicity and cut through unnecessary complexity. We discuss criteria like being succinct, useful over time, and promoting clarity. Then we create a new hypothetical "Fourth Grader Razor" based on the Curse of Knowledge bias. This razor says to assume others have a basic 4th grade level understanding of a topic and we should build up mutual knowledge from there without making any premature assumptions. We also highlight insightful new razors from George Mack like the "Bragging Razor" and "Luck Razor." These provide thought-provoking rules of thumb for life. Explore examples of famous razors like Occam's Razor and Hanlon's Razor. Learn how to turn your own principles into razors. This video will sharpen your thinking and reasoning by covering how to create razors that slice through confusion. See how philosophical razors can compound benefits in your life. #mentalmodel #philosophicalthinking #thinkingskills #reasoning #knowledge Resources, References, and Recommendations: https://twitter.com/george__mack https://twitter.com/george__mack/status/1680229002479386629 https://yourbias.is/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_razor https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/simplicity/ *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Join me for an in-depth look at the Levels of Consciousness model, a mental model or perhaps even a spiritual model based on the research of Fred Dodson and David Hawkins. We'll explore how different levels of energy and awareness shape our perception, emotions, and attraction of states of reality. I'll walk through the scale from lower vibrations like fear and anger, up to higher states of joy, wisdom and unconditional love. We'll see how our level of consciousness correlates to our worldview, reality, and beliefs about God/higher power. You'll learn: - The spectrum of consciousness levels from 30 to 1000 - How each level impacts your view of life, self and others - Why most people calibrate below 200 - How to understand where you and others may fall on the scale - The liberating effect of just knowing this model - Alignments with Maslow's hierarchy, chakras, and religious traditions - Practical tips to gently raise your consciousness over time Expanding consciousness is a journey - this framework provides a map.

Mental Models of Virtue and Vice. In this video we are going to cover mental models of virtue and vice as we examine the models of the 7 Deadly Sins and their opposite, the 7 Heavenly Virtues. We will introduce the idea of Integrative Thinking and we will see how it compliments Aristotle's Virtue Theory. We will also explore the abstract nature of polarity and synthesis as it relates to virtues and vices, and of course we will explore what the 7 Deadly sins and 7 Heavenly Virtues are and how we can benefit from this knowledge. Be sure to watch until the end to see how we can even apply the 80-20 principle towards virtue habit selection. #virtue #mentalmodel #sin #vice #Aristotle #reasoning #self-improvement #philosophy References, Resources & Recommendations: Book: The Cardinal and the Deadly...: https://amzn.to/39gpMtk https://www.learnreligions.com/the-cardinal-virtues-542142 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_virtues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_virtues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle https://slife.org/the-seven-catholic-virtues/ https://www.azquotes.com/quotes/topics/virtue.html https://www.applythelawofattraction.com/gratitude-law-attraction/ https://freedomoffaith.tripod.com/id11.html 7 Deadly sins and Opposite Virtues, good juxtaposition list https://fathersofmercy.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Seven-Capital-Sins-Opposite-Corresponding-Virtues-and-Extremes.pdf 7 Deadly sins and their polar extremes and opposite Virtues http://changingminds.org/explanations/values/seven_virtues.htm Good breakdown of the various names of lists of virtues/vices Book: Benjamin Franklin's Book of Virtues: https://amzn.to/3iBR95z Book: Glittering Vices: A New Look at the Seven Deadly Sins.. https://amzn.to/396IHYQ Book: The Laws of the Universe and the Bible: https://amzn.to/36Kq5MJ (covers importance of gratitude) Clearer Thinking Podcast episode 027: https://clearerthinkingpodcast.com/?ep=027 Virtue Vice Dichotomy & Synthesis ideas to explore: http://factmyth.com/vices-and-virtues-explained/ integrative thinking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrative_thinking *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

The Circle of Competence mental model was developed by Warren Buffett and his business partner Charlie Munger. It is a model that describes the area of understanding that matches a person's skills, abilities, or expertise. Buffett and Munger used the model to describe limiting one's financial investments away from areas you have limited understanding or expertise and instead focusing on areas where you have the greatest familiarity or edge. Part of the model involves the importance of accurately assessing one's own abilities relative to what one may think they might know. #WarrenBuffett #CharlieMunger #MentalModel #CognitiveBias Resources, References, & Recommendations: Articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_competence https://fs.blog/2013/12/circle-of-competence/ https://palladianpark.com/circle-of-competence/ https://finance.yahoo.com/news/warren-buffett-charlie-munger-building-211841758.html https://www.wealest.com/articles/circle-of-competence Munger Circle of Comp.

Induction and Deduction are methods of reasoning and when we look at their structure we approach them from the viewpoint of mental models, where we essentially take a subject and objectify it so that we can manipulate it in our minds more effectively and apply it across disciplines. As we hone our definitions of what inductive and deductive reasoning are, we are developing razor-sharp thinking skills that lay at the heart of Science and Philosophy. #induction #deduction #reasoning #scientificmethod #logic #mentalmodel References, Resources, & Recommendations: Books: Don't Just Think; Be Logical: Critical Thinking Manual... https://amzn.to/3vjxhKy Logic, Inductive and Deductive by William Minto: https://amzn.to/3saxjCB Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by R.

The Eisenhower Decision Matrix is a time management mental model that helps us make the best use of our available time by categorizing the potential demands we may face for the use of our time. The decision matrix was popularized by Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book and is ultimately based on a quote from Dwight Eisenhower where he says, "I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent." #mentalmodel #eisenhowermatrix #timemanagement #goals #achievement #learning #planning Recommended readings &/or works cited: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: https://amzn.to/2TfKAtV First Things First book: https://amzn.to/366El0N Super Thinking: https://amzn.to/2ABSmYK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_management#The_Eisenhower_Method Always recommended: https://amzn.to/2WFf76y *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. #mental model #mental models #framework #frameworks #wisdom #self-improvement #time management #goals #personal development #habit #habits #strategy #decisions #management #technique #discipline #learning #progress leaves clues #knowledge #learning #education #mind #choice #strategies #time-management #thought #motivation #success #mind #tool #skill Wear some merch: https://teespring.com/stores/progress-leaves-clues Get your highest quality Progress Leaves Clues merch from AMAZON: https://amzn.to/3gldqST
