The linked article "How First Principles Thinking Fails" [0] , which states "..But I think there's a more pernicious form of failure, which occurs when you reason from the wrong set of true principles. It is pernicious because you can’t easily detect the flaws in your reasoning. It is pernicious because all of your base axioms are true...In other words, the only real test you have is against reality. Your conclusion should be useful. It should produce effective action." reminds me of the quote by Eric Zemmour: "When principles are in contradiction with society’s survival then the principles are false, for society is the supreme truth."
