What would it take to prove you wrong? Falsifiability is the practice of naming failure modes—the conditions under which you would update a belief. This chapter shows why beliefs without failure modes cannot be trusted, and offers a simple checklist for examining your own.

The first sharp tools: the Null Hypothesis ("not yet persuaded") and the Burden of Proof (the claim-maker carries the weight). Learn to spot burden-shifting moves and practice a stance that lets evidence guide you, rather than default belief.

The first tools chapter. Learn to separate questions, claims, and evidence—the three building blocks of all epistemic work. With clear distinctions and a simple weekly practice, this chapter prepares you for the sharper tools to come.
