I started out liking this, but as a composition and rhetoric teacher, I immediately began to think that when we increase speed, we lose context and nuance. Frameworks seem to take incredibly complex issues and boil them down into very simplistic (and limited) interpretations that restrict options and conversations rather than open them up. We also sacrifice our ability to listen effectively. We’re so busy trying to rush and be perceived a certain way that we aren’t really hearing what the other person is saying, and they may be saying good stuff that we can learn from.

[@hamzzak]

Exactly what I was thinking throughout the video (halfway actually). Think outside the box. Someone who's good at talking or replying back fast doesn't necessarily means they're smarter.

[@trapease]

yes exactly this

[@jedwinlo]

"5 signs you’re in love" "3 red flags that means it’s time to quit your job" So clickbait-y listicles are useful frameworks now?

[@enjerth78]

While we can get stuck in a framework and overthink in misdirected ways, we all work with frameworks, whether you realize it or not. Many frameworks are developed organically, cognitive constructs learned naturally through everyday experiences. Intentionally digesting and reasoning through the frameworks we use increases efficiency and normalcy, which both improve communication. Being able to identify fitted frameworks and being able to break frame is important. When operating naturally, this doesn't restrict conversations, but the frameworks express a relational model that flows intuitively and only get stuck at dead ends when your understanding doesn't match with what's being communicated. It helps you to recognize when you really don't understand what others are saying. When they address something and use it in a way that's not consistent with your best matched framework, that indicates you need to inquire of them the framework and information they're using at that point to be able to reach understanding, or scan the related frameworks for some preloaded fault in that vicinity.

[@angelalexander9515]

One question!! I'm really interested in learning about composition and rhetoric, what advice or books would you recommend for ms?

[@TheC0mmentSection]

I used to struggle finding things to say when I was younger and when I started working in NYC in my early 20s I would be constantly pressed to have an answer for something, I don’t know exactly what happened but I started getting good at talking about things on the fly, after watching this video this is exactly what happened, you just understand the general idea or the essence of something and talk / evolve off of this. Not being able to find the words for something was when I was trying to get a specific answer

[@constantin58]

it depends on the topic. People can be fluent in some areas and then struggle or completely avoid any other topics in order to look good all the time. Even the most fluent fast thinkers can struggle speaking if they don't know what are they talking about or have limited knowledge and experience. Problem is when people have knowledge and experience but still struggle talking about what they want to say. This is usually because they struggle speaking on other topics and carried the assumption that they are bad at talking about anything.

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Love this point. Confidence is an important factor that doesn’t come automatically with knowledge and experience

[@e-genieclimatique]

in brief: In this video, the presenter, Vicki, explains how to think fast before speaking by using frameworks. Frameworks are structures that organize thoughts and help identify key elements that influence a result. The video discusses the importance of reasoning from first principles, using examples of revenue and profit frameworks in a business context. Vicki suggests two ways to acquire frameworks: 1-Create them yourself by distilling the essence of your knowledge into structures. 2-Find hidden frameworks on the internet by extracting the key elements from existing information and organizing it into frameworks. She gives examples of frameworks like Ikigai (making money doing what you love) and Ethos, Pathos, and Logos (business storytelling). By building a library of frameworks and connecting them together, one can think fast on their feet and provide insightful responses to a variety of topics.

Thank you for this video! Very helpful. When I was young I was inarticulate and "slow" or completely withdrawn in conversations. I spent my 20's reading books on communication, psychology, spirituality, dating, etc. I took rigorous notes because I was desperate to become a more full version of myself. Now in my 30's I'm proud to say when I'm in conversation with people my mind is very open and active. I didn't have the terminology of "frameworks" but this video well demonstrates what I feel is going on inside my head. I love listening to people and watching the various internal frameworks link together and create connections. After years of this kind of study and practice it has become very strong and now almost intuitional, when I listen to people my mind delivers thoughts from these frameworks so quickly at times it's overwhelming but in a grandeur way like driving through a breath-taking mountain scape or something. Anyway thank you for putting language to this and for providing the examples. I subscribed and will listen to more of your voicings

This video covers situations that occur in critical meetings. It’s for people like myself who can get easily flustered when the meeting is going in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons. It’s a great way to be prepared for a meeting and help redirect without becoming the negative stick in the mud.

[@AlessandroBottoni]

Great video, congratulations! Actually, at school, many years ago, I was taught exactly what you say in this video: to speak clearly (or effectively), you have to think clearly. In order to do so, you need a theoretical framework to host your concepts. It could seem easy, but... It takes a lot of time and requires a lot of disciplined work. As far as I can see, not many people ever reach this level of maturity.

[@jakeporteza]

[@proxima-nova]

This totally blew my mind. I think I've always been one to seek frameworks so I can organize my messy thoughts, but didn't know it. This video made that way of thinking more tangible so I now know exactly what I'm looking for. Great explanation and examples!

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

[@benjamintu962]

Discovered your video and really enjoyed your thoughts. Speaking or responding using a framework is super powerful!

[@samaila241]

This video taught me a lot. It could also be called, talk in frameworks. I used to feel bad when I got confused in conversations. I saw some famous people just say the same stories over and over. So I decided to make my own answers that I can use anytime, anywhere. My best one is "I don’t know enough to have a good opinion."😂 My main problem is when I get excited I forget all about frameworks and just blurt out whatever I think.

[@StriderBillman]

Quick summ: Use relatable models from other places to break down a complex topic. Concepts transfer over, even from different fields. Everything has a beginning, middle, and end (stories, how-to instructions, workout routines, etc.). An algorithm for a small computer program is comparable to a recipe (ingredients -> variables, steps -> lines). The first step to solve _________ problem is to first identify the problem. All this dot-connecting can go on and on. Speaking of which, the ikigai model looks very useful in the biz world and it would not be a surprise to see it come up again, especially after watching this. I'm glad that this framework thinking is addressed in this vid. Thank you for bringing it to light!

[@carlosdesantiago1356]

I'm 35 years old and have been reading charlie munger, farnam street, James Clear and others like it for over a decade. If I'm being honest I often worry that the person across the table isn't considering enough variables if they oversimplify complex subjects when discussing strategy and/or how to move forward on a project, whatever the project may be. While I may be right sometimes, watching your video really helped me break what I consider to be some calcification in the way I view things. We cannot make perfect decisions, but constricting variables into frameworks as best as we can can at least help us initiate feedback loops in a more quantifiable way that will help us get better at getting s#!% done. Great video, thank you.

[@danbaker1978]

it's not about arriving at the right answer, it is about setting the person across the table back on their heels. if you are thinking about "variables" then frameworks aren't for you. try to think more in terms of FLY-SWATTERS. and aim for their forehead. hope that helps!

[@FranciscoDominguezRoman]

Hey great topic! I think most of us use frameworks due to different reasons: work, study... But the ones who develop more are curious people, and for a simple reason: we like to learn and distil the essence of topics. You then find frameworks, simplified models or abstractions of very different topics. If you study engineering and other applied science, you may find yourself equipped with usual frameworks and models of systems, and even better, how to create new ones. Anyway, a great topic, good to explore further. Please keep sharing your thoughts, or if you want to debate about it, let's do it!

[@unbereafigendlic8414]

Another, closely-related, topic is what I've always been able to do. When someone explains something to me, and I know nothing about the topic nor recognize any terminology, I create a framework from what they explain overall. E.g. "Something large has 7 components, the first one works with the fifth one, the third one is related to the first one the seventh one is very unique and explains all the others to greater detail." Then I ask them about (or I discover them later) each component and what the terminology means. Each time I get that information, I'm able to populate the framework as if hanging placards on hooks on the framework, right where they should go, but I don't have to go back and ask to have the whole thing re-explained. When I understand something for the purpose of discussing it intelligently, I like to know the overall structure, and then the minute details. Once I know this, the rest falls into place, like a jar "full" of sand being filled further with water so that now it really is full.

[@glitched.gaming]

It's interesting seeing this described out. I've always felt like I've done this kind of thing since I was a child naturally. I think it was more that no one was able to break me of that habit that I was able to keep it and see good use of it. I wonder how much of this is not that we're not trained in it, but that we're trained out of it due to failed schooling models.

[@enjoypolo]

Thank you. I've been doing this myself for a few years now, but I called it a "mosaic". It's a bit like unsupervised learning, where I detach myself from the information/ideas, identify patterns, connections, commonalities if there are. Slowly but surely, you have a tapestry of things. The bad/irrelevant ideas erode with time, leaving only the dense, crystalized scaffolding of the framework visible. There are many layers to this. "the only thing I know for certain is that I know nothing."

This is what is often taught in universities. They are often called paradigms, structures or frameworks. That’s why we have certain general education class requirements in the first few years. The theory is that we can use a variety of different paradigms or lenses to interpret and discuss fact patterns in different topics, genres or practice areas. The difficulty with this kind of thought process is that it does not necessarily account for the creativity needed to interpret nuanced fact patterns and solve unique problems. Like Bruce Lee said-be like water. It can flow or it can crash. It fits any mold necessary. ~ It’s worth noting that Elon musk and other scientific minds tend to like this way of thinking because it is orderly and logical. But arts and the humanities might require more creativity.

[@simpelman]

I do this all my life. I was born this way. Like Elon Musk, I am a type architect (INTP). So a framework= a basic concept. Ampere x Volt =Watt. Very logic Flow x pressure = Amount. In Music, C minor= C major, which has stepped back a semitone in the middle (keeping it simple). In a story you have epic/lyric and drama. Epic is the narrative/storyline. Drama=dialogues and lyric=describing things more poetically. So distill everything back to basic concepts. You can fill in the details later. A human or animal is basically a tube: food comes in, goes out, adding oxygen, burn it slowly. Needs eyes and limbs to move itself to the food. Well, you get my drift.

[@sunlight8299]

Thank you. I had not come across the idea of framework thinking before. Reading your examples of your own framework thinking from the perspective of another INTP made this new concept click. I'm now able to frame my perspective which makes organising my thinking so much easier. E.g. Using your example of a story framework it was simple to create my own framework 'description' + 'new development description' = story Up until now I've always struggled to stay on track and tell an interesting story because I wasn't building on a framework. I.e. I never knew where to begin and finish. Now I have a framework to use to be sure I got my point across. It's great because I can scale it up i.e. add more detail to the description and/or development or scale it down just describe the bare bones of the description and/development. Also I can easily make a story more spicy/interesting by adding this to the both the description and development description 😅 I'm feeling so much more powerful and in charge of what I am saying 🎉❤ Thank you to both the creator of this video and the INFP commenter! Next. I just need to get faster and less clunky at applying this new knowledge and ability but I'm sure there is a system for that 😜😊

Here is a simple framework you can use to think fast before you speak: Identify your goal: What do you want to accomplish through your communication? Consider your audience: Who are you speaking to and what do they need or want to know? Gather information: What information do you need to present in order to achieve your goal and meet the needs of your audience? Organize your thoughts: How can you structure your information in a way that is clear and logical? Practice: If possible, practice what you will say in advance to help you feel more confident and prepared. Using this framework can help you quickly and effectively organize your thoughts and communicate them effectively.

Frameworks and paradigms are fine and useful for keeping conversations focused on the situation at hand, but thinking conceptually and from first principles is more important. Sometimes frameworks and paradigms trap people in ineffective focuses.

[@moja-mojahh.jpeg.9829]

Correct me if I'm wrong. So in plan language, frameworks are like guidance for thinking , problem solving or decision making. They are mental models, which is a representation or explanation of how something works. Frameworks are telling us what are the essentials structure, the rest are just details.

[@artworthi]

Close, I think frameworks get us a few steps closer to how humans process information. Information Processing Model suggests cognitive function is formulaic. By adhering to a framework, you are aligning your tendencies to how our brains are wired. An observational gap between those who apparently know exactly what to say and those who cant seem go articulate I believe stems from the general perception vs reality dissonance.

When I saw "Framework Thinking", I thought this was a video about Java's Spring boot, Python's Django or something related. But I kinda like this one

[@KyurinDiary]

Absolutely LOVE THIS CONCEPT 💗😍 subscribed

[@OlgaPogozheva]

Great episode, Vicky! I think, reading might help a lot, too, with the conversation part. Not specialised literature only, but sci-fi, fantasy - anything that makes your mind free and flexible. Just another tip ☺️

[@VickyZhaoBEEAMP]

Nice! Works perfectly to add details to frameworks

[@Mata00616]

I'm a software engineer, and I feel like this how we strive to engage with problem solving on a daily basis. Building good software involves analyzing a domain, noticing the kinds of relationships (frameworks) that make up that specific domain, then attempting to express those frameworks in way that computer will understand and be able to process efficiently and effectively. I used the identification and understanding of frameworks as a way of ensuring that I understand lecture topics, as well as a strong revision technique. This is why I believe everyone needs to learn how to code. We cant all start a degree in civil engineering but we can try watch a few tutorials on KZbin about data structures and algorithms. The only drawback I have seen from thinking like this, is that you start to easily forgot loose information. This must be because you stop training that random access mental muscle. But I'm not that bothered, by this, I think Google reminders and Google search really solve that problem 😂

[@user-xf7mu7ub9d]

I like how you compared this to computer science. I think I'm going to follow this logic because it's so much easier for me to understand.

[@eri.glaucous2472]

As an undergraduate software engineer, I strongly agree. I remember the first time we learned OOP, our lecturer threw a bunch of isolated facts that made us difficult to understand the concept. I tried to memorize them all for the exam only. But when I develop real-life software, I'm caught in the aha moment, "Oh, that's why those concepts exist!". Now, I can't change the way those lecturers taught me, but I totally can teach myself to learn new technical things faster and more effectively.

[@biancacherry7059]

I’m a fourth year law student and before I started my mum would always say lawyers speak slow. Well now my boyfriend says I talk slow😂 it’s because I am constantly thinking about how to respond to something in the most accurate way possible. I think more soft skills in this space would be confidence when speaking by being exposed to both writing and people who speak about the same things.

[@KlaudiaValentova831]

There’s a gap in the market for this. I think Shane Parrish’s blog Farnam Street is a good resource, but I still want to make something more practical … let me know what you think of Shane’s work!

[@samonamission_]

@@VickyZhaoBEEAMP Oh dear, sounds like it's part of the job... Haha. Thanks! 😅 I will try varying lengths next then. Maybe more mini tutorials, series AND longer lectures. I guess it also depends on audience expectations: Are they looking for a quick answer (to fix something small) or do they want to sit down to fully submerge (go more in depth)? Haha 🤔😇

Hi thank you for this! Would love if you make a video with more practical examples of using these frameworks. But tqsm for the sharing.

I collect models from across disciplines, and tweak them to suit my needs if they cover concepts of no relevance to my field or topic. I love visual models~ they really help me to unpack my thoughts on a topic, think it through in a different way etc

[@linsu2854]

Great info. I actually think in terms of frameworks and have quite a few for different aspects of my work. My challenge is, in high stake situations, when a curve ball question is thrown at me, I do not always have the presence of mind to access these frameworks in my brain. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@BEAUTYxISxFOREVER]

I’m wondering if this is something you can try programming and automating in your mind. From my understanding of some psychology concepts, with our mind, we have two basic modes: react and respond Responding would be being able to access the framework to be put to use. This is where executive functioning comes in and we use our prefrontal lobe to access info Reacting is when we don’t have access to our executive functioning, we are in fight/flight/freeze (parasympathetic nervous system), and your brain defaults to whatever pre- existing Programming/pathway I’m wondering if by being very intentional in practicing framework thinking daily, just like building muscle in the gym, will help. I’ve been able to reprogram so when my “logical” brain is out of commission, I can still learn to draw on subconscious re-programming Maybe this could look like- if you have a presentation, identifying what frameworks could exist or be drawn upon in further convo, and then preparing running thru those frameworks

[@abdullahabtahi5286]

This is my first time watching Vicky's video (I saw it on my YT homepage). In the first 8 seconds, I paused the video and immediately checked to timestamps to get a glimpse of the content. Then, moved to the comments to speculate if this video is worth watching. A few moments later, I am writing this comment before even continuing to play the video because I want to say that Vicky is either a management consultant or a former consultant. To validate this hypothesis, I inspected her YT channel and instantly I saw her featured video on "Why I quit management consulting" which confirmed my assumption. The end. I just want to practice story-telling and actually watch videos lately about being articulate in speaking. Now let me continue to watch the video. hahah

[@abdullahabtahi5286]

Finished watching the video. Key takeaways: -Build a framework inventory. I usually have notes for frameworks that I deduce from books and courses but never organize them into a single file. -Create a story inventory. I got this idea from the first key takeaway. In fact, I'm adding my first story above into the story vault.
