Decisions : the source of human power is neither muscle nor mind but models -- Framing: mental models infuse everything we do, even if we're unaware of them -- Causality: we are causal-inference engines and often wrong, but this is good -- Counterfactuals: envisioning worlds that do not exist lets us excel in this one -- Constraints: our vision needs to be bounded to be effective -- Reframing: occasionally we need to switch frames or invent new ones -- Learning : a wide variety of frames is essential for progress -- Pluralism: a coexistence of frames is essential to humanity's survival -- Vigilance: people must remain on guard not to cede their power.
