What are some of the real world concepts we need to get a handle on in order to read or learn with intelligence (e.g necessary versus sufficient, as in "these conditions are necessary but not sufficient") ?

There is a lot of noise out there. It would be good if we have a mental checklist to categorize information we come across.
If you like , it would be a list about the myths or the confusion we fall into in thinking about something.
The list will probably include concepts such as :
1. necessary versus sufficient, as in "these conditions are necessary but not sufficient" .
2. movement does not mean motion, e.g. "Just because you are busy doing something does not mean you are busy living a life worth dying for."
I am NOT looking for a list of fallacies in arguments .
Can you think of anything else?
Thanks a million.
