âWe take other menâs knowledge and opinions upon trust; which is an idle and superficial learning. We must make them our own. We are just like a man who, needing fire, went to a neighborâs house to fetch it, and finding a very good one there, sat down to warm himself without remembering to carry any back home. What good does it do us to have our belly full of meat if it is not digested, if it is not transformed into us, if it does not nourish and support us?â

We Are Drowning In Information
Most of that information is irrelevant. If only we could sort what matters from what doesnât. The good news is that you can train your brain to evaluate the quality of information.
Not only can you quickly determine if someone knows what they are talking about but you can sort the important information from the irrelevant information and focus your time on what matters.
How? It turns out that Nobel Laurette Richard Feynman thought about this problem and created a series of âtricksâ that he used repeatedly

Feynman's 7 âTricksâ for Evaluating Information
- Decide whether someone else truly knows their stuff or is mimicking others.
- What you want is to get as close to the truth as you can with the information available.
- Knowledge is not static, and we need to be open to continually evaluating what we think we know.
- Ask the right question, which is not âCould this be the case?â but âIs this actually the case?â
- Not using the same data that gave you the clue to make the conclusion.
- The plural of anecdote is not data. We must use proper statistical sampling.
- Realize that we are missing information that we donât know weâre missing.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
