How To Think Better in the Age of AI (From the Stoics)

The gist

1. Break problems down to raw facts and verify claims yourself rather than accepting what AI or any authority tells you.
2. Treat your information diet like your physical diet, cutting low-quality inputs and seeking sources that genuinely challenge your thinking.
3. Keep a commonplace book to capture ideas and quotes from reading, building a personal knowledge base you can draw on over time.
4. Writing and walking both sharpen thinking: writing exposes contradictions and gaps, while time outdoors nourishes the mind in ways AI cannot.
