Hi, troublemakers! 👋

I’m pretty sure you’ve heard about the concept of the first principles. It has gained popularity among founders in Silicon Valley, thanks to some famous names who have peppered this catchphrase here and there.

Over the next weeks , I will share here some of the best quotes and writings about the concept that I find the most influential in my work and life.

From R. Feynman

To start, here’s one of my favorite quotes from Richard Feynman, the Nobel laureate physicist, and father of ‘first principles’ thinking:

**I never ask if ‘I like it’
or
‘I don’t like it.’

I think ’this is what it is’
or
’this is what it isn’t.’**
