That thinking was inspired by the German mathematician Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi, famous for some work on elliptic functions that I’ll never understand. Jacobi often solved difficult problems by following a simple strategy: “man muss immer umkehren” (or loosely translated, “invert, always invert.”) “[Jacobi] knew that it is in the nature of things that many hard problems are best solved when they are addressed backward,” Munger counsels. While Jacobi applied inversion mostly to mathematics, the model is one of the most powerful mental models in our toolkit.
Why humans find it so hard to let go of false beliefs. There’s a new virus in town and it’s not fooling around.
You can catch it through face-to-face contact or digitally – that is, via a human or bot.

Take some slow, deep breaths, and hang out there for a little while (30 to 60 seconds if you can). How to think like a detective. Step 1: Assume nothing and find out what you really know To think like an expert detective, you have to embrace a so-called ‘investigative mindset’.
The terms ‘possibly’ and ‘could’ should be your watchwords as they are in every real investigation and at every crime scene.
