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

Tomo gives Think for Yourself the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
