https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔽" title="Down-pointing triangle" aria-label="Emoji: Down-pointing triangle"> Criticise to see if the solution works.

The first step of & #39;existing knowledge& #39; is necessary — that& #39;s where problems come from. And problems are what thinking consists of.

It& #39;s impossible to think about something without some model.
