| Cluster | Categories | Use it when… |
|---|---|---|
| Foundations | Thinking, Models, Principles | you need better lenses, better abstractions, or better decision filters |
| Decision & Action | Methods, Strategies | you need execution, sequencing, or interaction choices |
| Biases & Traps | Effects, Fallacies, Paradoxes | you suspect distortion, weak reasoning, or intuitive breakdowns |
| Worldviews & Constraints | Laws, Philosophy | you need stable patterns, deeper assumptions, or longer-range orientation |
Browse by Category
Thinking
Frameworks and reasoning styles that shape how you interpret reality.
Models
Reusable abstractions for simplifying complexity and making tradeoffs visible.
Principles
Decision filters that hold up when time is short and stakes are high.
Methods
Repeatable processes for learning, diagnosing, planning, and executing.
Strategies
Approaches for competition, cooperation, leverage, and positioning.
Effects
Cognitive biases and social effects that quietly shape perception and action.
Fallacies
Failure patterns in argumentation and inference.
Paradoxes
Tensions that expose the limits of simple thinking.
Laws
Stable regularities, constraints, and recurring patterns in systems.
Philosophy
Foundational assumptions about meaning, ethics, knowledge, and reality.
Start from a Problem
I need to think more clearly
Start with Thinking, then move to Models when the problem becomes structurally complex.
I keep misreading people or behavior
Start with Effects to see the default distortions built into human judgment.
I want a more reliable rule of thumb
Start with Laws and Principles when you need stable constraints rather than cleverness.
I need a concrete process
Start with Methods when the gap is execution rather than understanding.
An argument sounds wrong, but I need precision
Start with Fallacies, then use Paradoxes to test where intuition may still be too shallow.
I am navigating conflict, leverage, or uncertainty
Start with Strategies, then ground the choice in Models and Philosophy.
Suggested Paths
Judgment Upgrade
Begin with First Principles Thinking, Systems Thinking, Opportunity Cost, and Reversibility Principle.
Bias Defense
Begin with Confirmation Bias, Anchoring Effect, Framing Effect, and Survivorship Bias.
Decision Under Uncertainty
Begin with Expected Value, Probabilistic Thinking, Margin of Safety, and Optionality.
Worldview Foundations
Begin with Stoicism, Pragmatism, Occam’s Razor, and the Lindy Effect.
