TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF THOUGHT
The hardest problem we face in teaching this revolution in thought – one that will dramatically improve your mind and your understanding of the world is ‘the method’. Or what we call disambiguation of concepts by enumeration, operationalization, serialization, resulting in a system of measurement satisfying a supply demand curve. We used to call this economic thinking, and before economics we called it the calculus. But it’s as important a revolution in human thought as was greek syllogism, philosophical rationalism, empiricism, the scientific method, the darwinian explanation of the universe, not just life.
Like many things we discover, the universe is much, much, much more simple than we’d imagined. And much much much easier to explain than we’d imagined.
We just evolved to negotiate. And all our achievements are extensions of that negotiation on relative human wants to understanding of the world as it is.
So mostly we have to unlearn what was wrong so that we can learn what is right. 😉
