Visual Theory on Instagram: "“I would say that the five most important skills are of course, reading, writing, arithmetic, and then as you’re adding in, persuasion, which is talking. And then finally, I would add computer programming just because it’s an applied form of arithmetic that just gets you so much leverage for free in any domain that you operate in.

If you’re good with computers, if you’re good at basic mathematics, if you’re good at writing, if you’re good at speaking, and if you like reading, you’re set for life.” ― Naval Ravikant . . . #skill #visualtheory #creativework"

Visual Theory on Instagram: "The term "ultimate" has implications for all aspects of human life. They could range from purpose, decision, value, evidence, development, to consequences, success, end, downfall, and actualization, as this word encompasses both the end of a process and what is fundamental to it. The ultimate refers to the best that could be originally conceived and achieved through the individual's personal actions. It is the final fact of an element bringing something out and the fundamental premise of internal peace consolidation. It is considered perfection that comes from simplicity, and it is clearly understood and acknowledged by someone who exhibits simplicity."

Visual Theory on Instagram: "The shortest path is not always the fastest. In physics and mathematics, a brachistochrone curve (from Ancient Greek βράχιστος χρόνος (brákhistos khrónos) 'shortest time'), or curve of fastest descent, is the one lying on the plane between a point A and a lower point B, where B is not directly below A, on which a bead slides frictionlessly under the influence of a uniform gravitational field to a given end point in the shortest time. The problem was posed by Johann Bernoulli in 1696. Time = Distance/Speed Not all routes may allow the same speed. Examples: In a multi-level parking garage, the shortest route between two floors may be to take the elevator or stairs, but to do so, you would have to disassemble your vehicle and carry the parts up.

Visual Theory on Instagram: "“The progress of science has been amazingly rapid in the last decade; but consider the savants, those exhausted hens. They are certainly not “harmonious” natures: they can merely cackle more than before, because they lay eggs oftener: but the eggs are always smaller, though their books are bigger. The natural result of it all is the favourite “popularising” of science (or rather its feminising and infantising), the villainous habit of cutting the cloth of science to fit the figure of the “general public.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life"

Visual Theory on Instagram: "Some thoughts on Information Overwhelm & Information Literacy There are 3 main pillars when searching for information in the Digital Era: 1. What are you searching for? 2. Passive VS. Active Information Gathering 3. Paying attention to your biases when doing research 1. What are you searching for? You need to find pre-digested information. This is the most authentic version of the data. If someone sends you a link provided by a huge media outlet, one should investigate the contents of the link. For historical information, places like Wikipedia can be a decent starting point. Smaller communities on Quora and Reddit (r/AskHistory). Historians willing to engage with questions + good for finding PhDs & specialists answering specific historical questions. -

Visual Theory on Instagram: "On checklists: The checklist gets the dumb stuff out of the way, the routines your brain shouldn’t have to occupy itself with, and lets it rise above to focus on the hard stuff. All learned occupations have a definition of professionalism, a code of conduct. It is where they spell out their ideals and duties. First is an expectation of selflessness: that we who accept responsibility for others - place the needs and concerns of those who depend on us above our own. Second is an expectation of skill: that we will aim for excellence in our knowledge and expertise. Third is an expectation of trustworthiness: that we will be responsible in our personal behavior toward our charges. Aviators, however, add a fourth expectation, discipline: discipline in following
