Aidan's Infinite Play
Exploring Critical Thinking in Behavior Economics with Zettelkasten Method
The key to applying a critical mind to behavior economics is to approach it from a top-down perspective, starting with a conclusion in mind and then seeking supporting arguments. This method involves identifying the end goal first and then finding the necessary information to back it up, which can be a laborious process. Alternatively, a bottom-up approach involves following your curiosity, researching various aspects of behavior economics and critical thinking, and using methods like the Zettelkasten method to connect ideas and become well-versed in the subject. By observing patterns and making connections, one can develop insights and understand the importance of critical thinking in decision-making processes, such as in politics.
