all life is problem solving.
problems are inevitable yet solvable with right knowledge.
we can create knowledge by conjecture and criticism.
"we can create knowledge by conjecture and criticism."
this is the method that drives problem-solving:
we conjecture: make bold guesses, theories, plans, or solutions.
we criticize: test them, seek flaws, improve them.
knowledge, then, is not built by proving things true, but by eliminating what is false or inadequate.
on problem solving:
you don’t need to fear being wrong.
you don’t need to wait for certainty.
you just need to engage with problems, make bold guesses, and be willing to improve your explanations.
error correction helps us get closer to reality because when we fix our mistakes, our understanding becomes clearer and more accurate.
the deeper you understand, the more your definitions shift from simple labels to rich, nuanced, context-sensitive explanations.
