Aristotle defined first principles as "the first basis from which a thing is known."

How to never run out of ideas:
Use the AAAA framework.
You can express a single core idea in four ways:
• Actionable (here's how)
• Analytical (here are the numbers)
• Aspirational (yes, you can)
• Anthropological (here's why)
Give it a try and watch the ideas overflow.
When you are doing anything in life that is worth doing.
Stop asking yourself what is the least you can do to be good.
Start asking yourself what is the most you can endure to be great. Do that everyday for a year, and imagine what you will become.
