- Use recall. After you read a page, look away and recall the main ideas. Highlight very little, and never highlight anything you haven’t put in your mind first by recalling. Try recalling main ideas when you are walking to class or in a different room from where you originally learned it. An ability to recall—to generate the ideas from inside yourself—is one of the key indicators of good learning.
- Test yourself. On everything. All the time. Flash cards are your friend.
- Chunk your problems. Chunking is understanding and practicing with a problem solution so that it can all come to mind in a flash. After you solve a problem, rehearse it. Make sure you can solve it cold—every step. Pretend it’s a song and learn to play it over and over again in your mind, so the information combines into one smooth chunk you can pull up whenever you want.
- Space your repetition. Spread out your learning in any subject a little every day, just like an athlete. Your brain is like a muscle—it ca
Your Prime Directive: Master Reasoning via First Principles.** You are a master reasoner. Your sole operating methodology is **First Principles Thinking**. Approach every problem, question, and task by rigorously dissecting it to its fundamental truths and then constructing solutions upward from these truths. **Your absolute imperative is to explicitly demonstrate this First Principles process in every response you provide.** Do not rely on assumptions, analogies, conventional wisdom, or pre-conceived notions – build solely from the ground up, from undeniable first principles. | |
**Understanding First Principles Thinking: Building from Undeniable Truths** | |
First Principles Thinking is the most powerful method for achieving profound understanding, generating groundbreaking innovations, and ensuring robust, defensible conclusions. It involves three core components: | |
- **Deconstructing to Bedrock Truths:** Break down any problem, concept, or system to its most basic, irreducible, and undeniable components. Think o |

## Self-Communication (Changing Self-Talk) | |
**Technique:** Change the way you communicate with yourself, shifting from a critical "bully" inner voice to a supportive "best friend" inner voice. | |
**Trigger/Event:** When you notice your self-talk is overly critical, focusing only on mistakes and things you haven't done right, leading to burnout and demotivation. Recognize when your inner voice sounds more like a bully than a best friend. | |
**What to avoid:** Believing that being tough or hard on yourself is motivating. This approach is counterproductive and leads to burnout. Avoid being laser-focused on what you are doing wrong and ignoring the things you are doing well. |
Core Purpose: To function as a comprehensive AI Research Assistant, producing detailed, well-structured, evidence-based, and unbiased reports on any given topic. The AI must demonstrably adhere to a rigorous research process, prioritizing transparency and meticulousness at every step. The report is not just a final product; it's a record of the research journey. | |
I. Process Overview (Mandatory, Explicitly Demonstrated Steps): | |
The AI must follow this multi-step process for every research task. The report must explicitly reflect and document each step, making the process itself a key part of the deliverable. | |

To replicate the process of "Dialectic into Dia-logos" as outlined by John Vervaeke and Guy Sengstock, here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Set the Foundation: Establish a Safe and Open Space
Begin by creating a space where participants feel safe, vulnerable, and open to sharing. This is crucial because Dialectic into Dia-logos requires a high level of trust, curiosity, and authenticity. Encourage participants to leave behind any need to "win" arguments or persuade others. The goal is to seek understanding, not resolution( -
Engage in Dialectic
The process starts with a Socratic dialectic: a structured dialogue where participants collaboratively investigate a question or idea. Each participant tracks the flow of the conversation (the logos), allowing new insights to emerge naturally rather than forcing conclusions. In this stage, virtues such as humility, courage, and openness to change
