Empowered Thinking for Deep Change

November 21, 2021

Empowered Thinking for Deep Change We’re so in the habit of controlling each other/being controlled that we’ve forgotten how to think for ourselves. We’re so overwhelmed by the challenges we face that we assume there’s nothing we can do (and it’s all our fault).  And we assume that controlling each other is necessary and failing […]

The Coming Age of Illiteracy: What Future for Science?

November 9, 2021

The Coming Age of Illiteracy: What Future for Science? One of the 16th century reliefs still existing at the monastery of “San Vivaldo,” in Tuscany. It is an early example of a purely image-based communication: an attempt to tell complex concepts, the stories of the gospels, to people who couldn’t read conventional text. It was a failure, but it […]

EU: Telling Europeans What to Think

March 16, 2019

EU: Telling Europeans What to Think The above initiatives, of course, exist in addition to all the other measures that the EU has put in place to “guide” Europeans onto the path of proper thinking… which the untransparent and unaccountable online tech giants — Facebook, Google, Twitter and Mozilla — signed in October 2018, and […]

The 10 Habits of Logical People

January 22, 2018

The 10 Habits of Logical People The authentically logical person keeps his logic rooted in truth and never lets it devolve into mere verbal trickery.

The One Drop Fallacy

November 16, 2017

The One Drop Fallacy Last month, in the process of exploring the awkward fact that most people in today’s industrial world have never learned how to think, I talked at some length about thoughtstoppers: those crisp little words or phrases that combine absurdity and powerful emotions to short-circuit the thinking process.  Thoughtstoppers, as I noted […]

September 30, 2017

Every Single Cognitive Bias In One Infographic The human brain is capable of incredible things, but it’s also extremely flawed at times. Science has shown that we tend to make all sorts of mental mistakes, called “cognitive biases”, that can affect both our thinking and actions. These biases, as Visual Capitalist’s Jeff Desjardins points out, […]

What you’re supposed to think vs. what you think

October 14, 2015

What you’re supposed to think vs. what you think I could trace my 30 years of investigative reporting as one long project emanating from what people are supposed to think. What they’re supposed to think about nuclear weapons, pesticides, medical drugs, vaccines, presidential elections, major media, the CIA, US foreign policy, mega-corporations, brain research, collectivism, surveillance, […]

How to Transcend Duality and Think Within Paradoxes

June 4, 2015

How to Transcend Duality and Think Within Paradoxes I read a few years ago somewhere that a hallmark of a genius is being able to hold opposites together and transcend duality. This stuck with me and over time I tried to make sense of it, because at first it was a very confusing concept. With […]

THE DEATH OF HOPE AND BELIEF

March 9, 2015

THE DEATH OF HOPE AND BELIEF As much as we would like to ‘believe’ we are all clear headed, logical individuals who only deal with verified ‘facts’ while shunning hearsay, rumor, ‘hope’ and ‘belief’, the reality is to some degree or another we integrate all of the above, and so much more, into our personal […]
