Key ideas in Think for Yourself

  • True facts can be irrelevant to a conclusion
  • Arguments rely on a missing link between trait and result
  • Experience is not a direct proxy for performance
  • Strength depends on the connection between fact and claim
  • Everyday conclusions rest on generalizations that aren't always voiced
  • Identifying the hidden assumption in a common argument
  • Identifying the 'missing link' allows you to test if the argument holds water
  • Distinguishing between a true statement and a relevant statement
  • Irrelevant facts often focus on short-term friction rather than long-term goals
  • Dealbreakers are facts that, if changed, would flip the final decision
  • The 'So What?' test forces a connection between a fact and the final decision criteria
  • Noise is information that is true but doesn't weigh on the outcome
  • Distinguishing between a dealbreaker and noise
  • Facts are neutral until linked to a consequence
  • The 'So What?' bridge explains the relationship between data and reality
  • Applying the 'So What?' test to filter irrelevant data from a core argument
