How Philosophers think
“You understand an idea not when you’ve memorized it, but when you know why its specific form was chosen over all the alternatives.”
On shallow knowledge (Charlie Munger)
“The more pressure people feel to have an opinion on every subject, the more chauffeur knowledge there will be. In that state of intellectual insecurity, people rush to judgment. When they do, they abandon the philosophical mode of thinking. In turn, they become slaves to fashionable ideas and blind to unconscious assumptions.”
