1
And then I think it's also important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.
2
So the normal way that we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy.
3
We're doing this because it's like something else that was done, or it's like what other people are doing.
4
Me too type ideas.
5
Yeah, slight iterations on a theme and it's kind of mentally easier to reason by analogy rather than from first principles.
6
But first principles is kind of a physics way of looking at the world.
7
And what that really means is you kind of boil things down to the most fundamental truths and say, okay, what are we sure is true or as sure as possible is true?
8
And then reason up from there.
9
That takes a lot more mental energy.
10
Give me an example of that.
11
Like what's one thing that you've done that on that feels worked for you?
12
Sure.
13
So somebody could say, and in fact people do, that battery packs are really expensive and that's just the way they'll always be.
14
Because that's the way they've been in the past.
15
You're like, well, no, that's pretty dumb pretty dumb, you know, because if you applied that reasoning to anything new,
16
then you wouldn't be able to ever get to that new thing.
17
Right.
18
So, you know, it's like you can't say, oh, you know, horses,
19
nobody wants a car because horses are great and we're used to them
20
and they can eat grass and there's lots of grass all over the place and, you know, there's not like a, there's no gasoline that people can buy, so people are never going to get cars.
21
Right.
22
that people did say that.
23
And for batteries, they would say, oh, it's going to cost,
24
you know, historically it's cost $600 per kilowatt hour.
25
And so it's not going to be much better than that in the future.
26
And you say, no, okay, what are the batteries made of?
27
So the first principles would be to say, okay, what are the material constituents of the batteries?
28
What is the spot market value of the material constituents?
29
So you can say, okay, it's got cobalt, nickel, aluminum, carbon, and some polymers for separation, and a seal can.
30
So break that down on a material basis and say, okay, if we bought that in London Metal Exchange, what would each of those things cost?
31
Like, oh, geez, it's like $80 per kilowatt hour.
32
So clearly you just need to think of clever ways to take those materials
33
and combine them into the shape of a battery cell and you can have batteries that are much, much cheaper than anyone realizes.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
