Wait - what?!? That video didn't blow up yet? - you only have 25 Subscribers - now 26. Thats crazy low for this quality. Keep it up! Please.
What do you use to animate this? Could you make a tutorial to make awesome video essay Videos?
What do you do/study? What problem do you want to solve?
Haha thanks I really appreciate it! Im glad to see so many people like this video defiantly didn't expect that. I guess I should make another video exploring an idea or topic I find interesting.
And all the animations were done using key frames on FCPX
Your video is blowing up now! Make more videos man :D
NEW VIDEOS COMING SOON!!
Mason Fox you should try to solve the problem of "how to get get more subscribers" using first principles thinking and mental modeling
Hey, Mason's got more than triple the subscribers than he did 2 days ago! Wonder if he used first principles to gain more subscribers in these two days!
I can't wait to tell my grandkids about humanity's hero, Elon Musk.
yes do talk about Musk but no, please don't procreate
tell them when you are on mars
btw, that as not an insult, he just meant that we should stop having kids for a while
@@comedyislyf what
@@comedyislyf wait,how do you think you were born
this is quality right here. really engaging to watch actually and awesome background music. feels relaxed
Thank you!
Except from the Typos.
This video has high production quality and good content. I thought it was just a rip off of some bigger you tube channel.. So rare to find good small you tube channels. stick with it and you will have tons of subscribers :) subbed
Thanks so much it means a lot! Im so happy to see people like it!
Blown away how he knows how to raise money and organize his goal into teams, into a functioning company - respect.
I used this concept quite a lot the last few days. This is not there to actually solve problems. Its about a better way of argumenting in your head and to others what the solution is. And if you can make an argument, based on things that are just fundamentally true - then one can't argue against it.
Like we could argue - we should use first principle thinking, to argument an innovation - BECAUSE Elon Musk does it.
Or
BECAUSE you can argue for ideasthat noone else beliefs, or has ever done(because its not based on others, but on things we can be certain of).
I belive nothing we know is a fundamental truth though. because everything, is only as long true, as we haven't disproven it. Thats why he said - or as close as we can get to it.
So - the point I was trying to make is basically: First principle thinking seems to be more a reasoning process, than a problem solving/solution upcoming process. That part still has to come through a process of having creative ideas. And then once you had a possible solution, you could reason it either by analogy, or by first principles. And there - first principles shine. :)
Mr Feenman, lol, I'm sorry, just so many times in a row, never heard it pronounced like that
hahahaha
'Fine'man.
esrA elo
Fuh Fuh Fuh Feeny! FEENMAN!
You are INSANELY underrated. This contest is quality, engaging, interesting, and clearly took a decent amount of time to make.
Thank you so much!! Working on new stuff now it will be out soon!
Mason Fox I’m looking forward to it!
He solves problems by being dedicated to work as hard as hell and never give up trying while enjoying it!!!!
Solving problems to you has to be something you enjoy doing so much that you never feel bored while doing it and as long as a problem takes
First step to solving a problem is to realize that it's nothing negative. It's rather a challenge that you can either fail or win at. If you win at any rate, it will have taught you something, so it's always worth it. A Problem is like a ladder between your floor and the next higher floor. The ladder will cost you energy, but spending that energy will bring you on the next floor - if you are consistent and stay at it. Concentrate on the next floor, not on the ladder.
MrSaemichlaus You said the problem is a ladder, so how the fuk can we solve it if we don't concentrate on the ladder (problem)? ;)
On both at the same time: focus on the problem at hand while keeping in mind what you will be rewarded with by simply working on it (whether you win or lose, you gain important experience) and at the same time not being intimidated by the problem's complexity or possible consequences of (not) solving the problem itself. One step at a time :)
Agent Smith We should concentrate on the 'next floor' which is the result we are after. The problem is something we must get past to achieve our end result. For example: people were and with Elon Musk are still improving the way of transportation of men and goods so it's faster and more accessible. The same reason Romans have build roads, to transport men and goods more effectively. As for technology these days - instant gratification. It must be accessible in an instant.
Confirmation of one's thought processes is a beautiful thing. After watching your video, I realized that I already basically incorporate first principles in my problem solving.
You deserve way more views for this work. We need fresher approaches to delivering old content like this. Too many people just copying and pasting what everybody else is doing. I hope your channel grows and encourages you to make more content like this.
Thank you so much new content coming soon!
sort of ironic saying its not copy and paste seeing as this formula is a very blatant copy of Nerdwriter1...
One person at random I think that's a bit unfair to say he is ripping off nerdwriter1 considering that this is not the type of content he covers. When I say not a copy paste, I meant on the content around Elon Musk. Most just upload interviews, they don't necessarily present a descriptive analysis.
Thanks for the upload. And observation, the title says how Elon musk solves problems and then your video goes on it on a rabbit trail about multiple people and multiple subjects. Something to consider. Thank you for your uploads.
Thank you very much, I have rarely found such an amazing source of information.
A must see for all INTJ's, to realize what sets them apart and be able to explain it.
Feynam=Fine-Man
Yes, yes! I've been thinking this for a while and just couldn't quantify it. This makes so much sense. Great video.
Hey!
Just wanted to thank you for these awesome videos, quality is superhigh, references more professional than in many books and videos are very enjoyable! Keep up the good work buddy and all the best luck for future!

This quality for a channel who only has 799( now 800) subscribers is absolutely amazing! Great job man
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the support!
Quality vid. I think how you addressed the first principle of physics was valuable, b/c a lot of people have heard that he follows that principle without any explanation of what it actually was (from other youtube vids about musk). If you could do a follow up vid about something like "how Elon musk problem solves using first principle of physics" and put some more examples from his business ventures that'd be really good stuff too. The explanation of the first principle here was good and accurate, but personally I'd love to know of a specific time he applied it to overcome some of his most difficult problems. Like did he think of paypal using the first principles, or did it just help him figure out how to make paypal work as a web service
I feel like his subconscious motto is "Efficiency is key".
A great Video Mason. Thank you.
Awesome music and exciting topic! I like the way you put the video clips together. Flows really well. The only critique I have is that you could probably spend more time talking about what 'Mental model' really is instead of getting too deep into who all uses mental model. Or more examples like the one you have at the end. Just my two cents. Keep it coming, cheers!
Simple, Precise, Positive: Just what you expect from good videos; the content was quite HQ as well, though a few more clips of Elon speaking could've given more depth. On the whole, enjoyed it! Looking fwd to more.
Awesome video, just earnt yourself a subscriber.
Keep this quality up, I can see your channel becoming quite large.
Thank you!
I've been using this my whole life and just realized it's a thing that exists.
Nice video! And I know it takes work to edit and make a video like this. However this doesn't really distinguish what the difference is between "first principles", and thinking by analogy...which was Musks point. Maybe more contemplation about the main message before moving into the video making process.
The part where your closed captioning flashed: "we, we, we, we, we reason" made me crack the fuck up. had to pause the video for a second. Although, I find it endearing that Elon stutters while he thinks further ahead.
Could you please do more videos like this one? :)
Great job!
;)
This is the best video ever, it's what I'm looking for. Thank you so much guys for making video like this
Great video and analysis of first principles thinking.
When is 1st Principle part 2 coming out?. great video!
Incredible work, keep it up.. Do videos with great content like this
Excellent video. Was wondering if anyone had already distilled musk's ideas into a video. Also, you might also want to talk about the feedback network he talks about. This is probably more general and harder to boil down to one method.
Great video. Really enjoyed it. Wishing much success to you, Mason Fox!
The steady state energy balance model does apply to your body in the way traditional thinking has been going about things.
GOOOD VID MAZER
I shall now train my mental model by re watching this 10,000 more times.
I'm not entirely sure if I've got the same type of mindset, but your example of losing weight aligned with how I planned to lose weight. I'd need another example to confirm.
This is quality content! I hope he will have more subscribers. Don't worry guys this channel will boom eventually.
Theres so much to learn from this guy
Great narration. Very clear, easy to understand. Awesome animations. You're the man!
Thanks man! Really appreciate it
Mason Fox :D
I must agree on the video quality/ montage
i fucking love this mason.👍🏼
Now, can you give me an example for how thinking from first principles works, so that I can copy that approach and apply it to my own problems?
Amazing video, super fresh. Well done!
nice video, u got me. cheers from austria
Just left Austria! Video about Austria will go up soon
Good animations, quality content, Elon Musk. Nothing more to wish for!
Awesome stuff man. Thanks.
Great video dude!
I'll use it!
I still don't quite understand what this first principle mental model is. Can someone explain further with specific examples on how we may apply this to our lives? Any help is deeply appreciated.
Tell me the problem and I will explain to you how to view it through a first principle lens.
How about a simple one? How can I motivate myself to start a huge project? Say I am to write a book (just writing not publishing) in 3 months, and I am very self-conscious of my writing, and as a result, I hardly make any real progress day after day. How do you suggest I go about addressing this problem with first principle mental model?
We know that nothing will get done if you maintain your current approach. That is one of your first principles or fundamentals. Being self-conscious is an impediment to progress so you can solve that problem by not committing to a single version of your book. Write multiple versions of your book and later on you can edit them and commit to a single version.
Great video dude! Keep it up! Really interesting stuff you're sharing!
Keep on going !
You may want to think more about the losing weight analogy applied to first principles.
I recently watched a Ted Talk by Rueben Meeman "The Mathematics of losing weight". He points out that you don't actually "burn" fat and the idea of applying the unit of a calorie is the wrong metric. Losing weight involves transforming a fat molecule C55H104O6 into CO2 and H2O. To do this you must reduce your intake of food while exercising more. Hence the body will convert that fat molecule back to CO2 and H2O (a by product of exercise).
In a way this is a superb example of throwing out the old analogy of "burning" fat and applying first principles of transforming a molecule of human fat to something the body can easily dispose of (carbon dioxide and water).
All my best Cheers mate !
wow this is terrific concept, never heard of it. its like it was disguised from the masses.
love this video bro
Good work, man!
Great video, man- if you keep it up, your channel will get big, I can sense it
Excellent!
Great vid!
WTF, I'm literally subscribing to pick up your subscribers # because it's ridiculous that you don't have more for such great content.
1959 "THE SKY CALLS" MOVIE HAS A ROCKET THAT LOOKS LIKE ELON'S FALCON 9 ROCKETS - WOW. I Did not even know that such a movie ever existed. Will be watching it soon.
I've already been using this method subconsciously but if the answer is one which you don't already happen to know, you'll just turn your whole life into an experiment with the goal of finding out if the answer is boolean.
For example:
"Can I become [var 1]?
Yes.
How do I become [var 1]?
Not sure, maybe by doing [var 2]."
See, you don't know if [var 2] is going to work for you unless you try it. That variable could be wasted time of your life.
3:23 I'm not sure whether this example is apt enough- Feynman merely used a different method of integration. That doesn't necessarily mean that he dug deeper than the other students.
Great video! Thank you Mason Fox!
What is the background music? I love it so much ;-;
The flashing 'we' at 1:53 made me laugh.
thanks this was mind expanding. well done!
Thank you!
Great video!
Well, regarding weight loss, I think one needs to put into account factors such as psychology and motivation, in particular, which is harder... But obvious, there are principles at work.
Agreed! Thanks for watching.
Thanks
This video is seriously helpful for a lot of people great job and keep it up!
Thank you, I will
You forgot about OpenAI. He is even revolutionoizing that area. Which is the 1 I'm most excited for.
I have a video about A.I.
great video, helped me understand it
thanks 😀
Hi, I don't know if I'm going to be the first or not, or even if I'm right, but I believe you forgot about Neuralink, setting him up on the "biology" field, so we could say that in those 4 fields he mentioned, he made his way through all of them.
Great work with the video by the way, very good
Nice video. Thanks a lot for sharing! One question though- is the first principle method the same as looking at problems with a reductionist lens?
Thank you! I would say the two are very similar concepts, basically breaking things down to their fundamentals constituents.
Ah cool. Thanks!
musk has also operated in a 4th of those 5. AI, he is very deep in AI with spacex, tesla, AND specifically mind/AI interface. I think his company is called mindlink or something similar
It’s Fine-men (Feynman)!
How can i solve the problem if she dosen´t like me? that problem is still hurting
*"we-we-we-we-we-we"*
😊awesome ❤
good video keep it up;)
4:33 "taking ideas that has always been fiction and tuning them into reality"
...
4:46 "we all wont be making civilization multi-planetary...but we can all use the same tools Elon does to solve problems"
-SMARTY 2017
Aliving proof of a alive inventor of this 21 century.
He’s an INTJ. He uses first principles to emulate INTP behavior. Making him more innovative than other INTJ’s. This is why he appears super-human-like. Only the smartest fictional characters pull this off and can apply it like Sherlock Holmes.
Subscribed! Keep it up bro
Thank you more stuff on the way
Music used ??
This video is just fucking amazing. Extremely good content, efforts to collect, efforts to edit ans well integrated. So Good.
Thank you I really appreciate it!
Dude y the hell u stop this is awesome!
I've made 3 more video essays over on Uncommon Magazine's channel. Ill be dropping new content eventually.
0:31 whats the name of that kind of technology?
great content. keep it up.!!!
Thank you! I will!
@ 1:54 "we" x4 LOL
We . . love you Elon!
Great video, create more, your definitely inspiring the next Elon Musk or Bernie Sanders
Nice work man!!
Thank you!
1:55 we we we we we
John Mayer wow you’re hilarious
John Mayer, be nice 😜
i copied the link of this video just for the sake to not lose it deep-inside my useless history thank you for this video
We are actually not sure about the statement "To lose weight you have to burn more calories than you eat". The actual thing is that to lose weight "You have to burn more calories while you eat, and ALSO be getting all the nutrition your body needs, otherwise your body will start burning things other than fat to make up the difference."
Also "Burn" is subjective. We burn many more calories sleeping and doing daily routines than we do running or exercising for short periods. The goal of exercise is to RAISE your baseline metabolic rate, and not, in and of itself, to burn calories, although it does do that as well. What exercise REALLY does is activate genetic pathways in our bodies that make it more likely the body will not hold on to fat, as long as you are getting the general nutrition needs your body requires.
So, at the end of the day, "To lose weight, we have to exercise for 30 minutes to an hour daily in order to raise baseline metabolism and increase general health, and also eat nutrient dense foods." If you do that, your body will naturally keep off the weight, as long as you are not eating lots and lots of junk (like simple carbs and sugar).
Calories are not all created equally!! Just like energy from oil is different than energy from sunlight, in terms of its follow on effects after extraction.
That is first principles thinking.
Good vid but by "internet", musk wasn't talking about PayPal. He was talking about getting internet access to those who don't have access with something like Starlink
I use first principle thinking when I'm baked
His studder is charming
