More From Elon Musk

I think it's important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. the normal way we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy. [with analogy] we are doing this because it's like something else that was done, or it is like what other people are doing. [with first principles] you boil things down to the most fundamental truths…and then reason up from there.

There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not find englishmen doing it; but you will never find an englishman in the wrong. he does everything on principle. he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles; he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and cuts off his king's head on republican principles.

It is true that of far the greater part of things, we must content ourselves with such knowledge as description may exhibit, or analogy supply; but it is true likewise, that these ideas are always incomplete, and that at least, till we have compared them with realities, we do not know them to be just. as we see more, we become possessed of more certainties, and consequently gain more principles of reasoning, and found a wider base of analogy.

And when someone suggests you believe in a proposition, you must first examine it to see whether it is acceptable, because our reason was created by god, and whatever pleases our reason can but please divine reason, of which, for that matter, we know only what we infer from the processes of our own reason by analogy and often by negation.
Believe Analogies Matter
Trump conducts meetings and actually tries to get something done rather than just have the meeting and rather than just announce a framework and rather than just touch on bullet points or outline points and to speak in large terms about what our four-year objectives are. my guess is that trump gets in there, rolls up the sleeves, and starts talking about actual work that's going to be done, things that he wants to do, things he believes the american people elected him to do. and i think it probably is a stark contrast for people who basically work in a bureaucracy.

In april i founded the constitution party. with the social democrats and all liberal powers we will combine against the islamists. we still have a chance and we should not waste the awakening; that would be a tragedy. young people want more personal freedom and better jobs. they want a clear word from the west against mohammed morsi. if americans and europeans really believe in the values that they are always preaching then they must help us and pressure morsi.
