In my opinion, there is no getting around the fact that you need to make decisions based on sensible and understandable criteria. You either agree with that, or you don't. My purpose here is not to debate this. My purpose is to explain how principled thinking works, why I believe it’s essential for effective decision making, and how it can be super-powerfully enabled with contemporary and rapidly improving versions of AI. 

I believe that the path to success is best achieved by putting the best human intelligence together with the best artificial intelligence and that the way of thinking I am describing here is essential to understand and use in the new human/artificial intelligence era. As always, I welcome your questions and thoughts.
