A batch of the best highlights from what Siddish's read, .
“By "augmenting human intellect" we mean increasing the capability of a man to approach a complex problem situation, to gain comprehension to suit his particular needs, and to derive solutions to problems… whether the problem situation exists for twenty minutes or twenty years. We do not speak of isolated clever tricks that help in particular situations. We refer to a way of life in an integrated domain where hunches, cut-and-try, intangibles, and the human "feel for a situation" usefully co-exist with powerful concepts, streamlined terminology and notation, sophisticated methods, and high-powered electronic aids. ”

Another interesting take from the chess world is the Falsification Ratio as explained by <a href="https://twitter.com/nabeelqu">@nabeelqu</a>:
For grandmasters, this is 4:1 — they’ll spend 1 minute finding the right move, and another 4 minutes trying to falsify it.
Whereas for amateurs this is something like 0.5:1 — 1 minute finding the move, 30 seconds making a cursory effort to falsify it.
There’s a direct correlation between how skilled you are as a chess player, and how much time you spend falsifying your ideas.
To make better decisions, consider the time you spend trying to falsify your idea compared to the time you initially took to come up with it.
