Summary

  • Chris Meyer has come up with several principles or laws related to critical thinking, based on his observations and experiences, which he writes about in his blog.
  • These laws include the concept that any idea can catch on if it is given a catchy name, the fact that influencers tend to get less credit for what they say or write as they become more famous, and the idea that Friday afternoon emails are invariably bad news.
  • Other laws include the idea that a worn utility uniform confers status on the wearer, since it shows experience, and the concept that any email sent elongates a Friday afternoon will be bad news for the sender.
  • Meyer admits that all his principles are not based on rigorous research, but he hopes that others will read his principles, observe whether they correspond to patterns in human behaviour, and perhaps develop their own principles for human behaviour.
