## Highlights
- You look for only three things when you're reading—the question, the evidence, and the conclusion. ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01hahgpd6mzng08tnk1nxb0b77)) ^597006674
- This is what [[Charlie Munger]] was talking about when he said: "The first rule is that you can't really know anything if you just remember isolated facts and try and bang them back. If the facts don't hang together on a latticework of theory, you don't have them in a usable form." ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01hahgvwd21mhrrdrtkx3ggh0y)) ^597019437

- You also want to connect new ideas to existing ideas things that you already know. ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01hahgz0mtgsy8tfhmwedq1dce)) ^597025042
- You can try the compass of [[Zero Casting Thinking]]. I learned this one from my friend Faye. You take one idea in the middle and you think in four different directions. North is where does this idea come from; west is what's similar to this idea; east is what competes with this idea; and south is where can this idea lead to next.
