I found that Epstein has a very unique way of seeing things, and is thus able to shine lights on topics I would never think of. The idea of making a good statement or a statement that is plausible was fairly interesting to me. Therefore in order for a statement to be a good statement, than we should have good reason to believe the premise of a statement, and then ultimately believe the conclusion of that statement. Premises in my understanding are the guidelines or boundaries in which the conclusion must stay in, in order for the statement to then be a good statement. Yet just because a statement may have premises, those premises need to be plausible and give the reader reason to believe in the premises. As well as the premises needs to have a connection to the conclusion. Otherwise the reader is lost and your statement is not longer good.
