False First Principles: The Origin of Innovation | Nicholas Usher | TEDxClassicalAcademyHS

[@raunakgehlot]

The first principle regarding purchases is: A person will buy only if they trust the source. So that principle isn't proven false even today. Amazon made online shopping trustworthy. Hence, won the market.

I'd term the false first principles as "Second or Subsequent Principles"

False first principles and scientific paradigm shifts. Newton to Einestein.

What you mentioned is a method used by some people in a period of time，It‘s not first principle at all.

Your line of thinking is flawed by the rules itself. Elon saw past what you’re saying to see the real first principles, which is why he was successful. You’re just expressing how difficult it truly is to actually use real first principles. It’s not easy. 👍🏻

first priniples isnt static to begin with. what was true then may not be true with time. thus always revisit the first principle. it isnt false, it is dated or wrong.
