Card XXXIII: René Descartes

Write by subtraction

What if the most powerful move on the page was not to add, but to remove?

What if certainty wasn’t built by accumulation, but uncovered by stripping away every claim that couldn’t survive a question?

What if the foundation of your work was the one thing you cannot deny, even when you doubt everything else?

This is the spirit of Card XXXVIII: René Descartes, The Thinker.
