brain legos

conceptual primitives

some ideas stay useful across everything.
they don’t age, and they don’t need context.
they just work.

they’re not facts or beliefs.
they’re tools for thinking —
small, durable structures you can carry into any problem.

cause and effect.
feedback loops.
tradeoffs.
map vs territory.

once you learn one, it quietly rewires how you think.
you stop arguing about surface stuff.
you start seeing structure.

collecting them takes time.
but each one upgrades the whole system.
