Why Ask Why? (No, Really. We're Asking. It's First Principles.)

Episode description

Welcome back to The Overlap, where we’re not afraid to get a little… epistemological. (Parents, you can keep the earmuffs on). This week, Joshua and Will drag you deep into the rabbit hole of First Principles Thinking.

Ever wonder why some people are just better at figuring stuff out? It’s not magic (mostly). We’re talking about ditching the recipe book (being a “cook”) and learning to understand the fundamental ingredients of reality (being a “chef”). Forget just copying what others did before; we’re tearing ideas down to their absolute basics and building back up.
