The life-changing Sarah Paine framework
This is super unedited!
Why I’m calling this a “meta-framework”: at risk of sounding like Tim Ferriss, Professor Paine’s lecture was my “aha” moment for realizing the common thread that pulled together a few previously disparate fabrics of productivity and life optimization I’ve been exploring for approximately the last year. In Professor Paine’s lectures, these questions are things like “Why did Russia lose the Cold War?”; “Does America Have a Crisis of Strategic Thinking?”; which we can then begin to answer by going through the combinations of actors and interactions in the system and synthesizing into a thesis, counter-arguments, and some form of conclusion. Here I want to note that Professor Paine’s starting thesis for “Why did Russia lose the Cold War?” was “Reagan won it all!” and the “combined” counter-argument incorporated points from “internal” and “external” perspectives, so if some of my statements seem reductive and silly, it’s because they’re just tools to drive actual, legitimate research and arguments.
