My New Blog: The Edge of Reason
... it dawned on me how much bigger the challenge had become; it was not only about improving logical skills of executives any more, the problem was how people in general failed to apply them at all.
When the Covid-19 pandemic struck, I had just published a book on logical thinking. More precisely, on a structured methodology which I use in my consulting and training work, to help executives make better decisions, using rigorous reasoning.
At the time I thought the big challenge was to improve the logical skills of executives. But little did I know. Only a couple of weeks later it dawned on me how much bigger the challenge actually was; it was not only about improving logical skills of executives any more, the problem was how people in general failed to apply them at all.
Whether the explanation is propaganda, mass-hypnosis, irrational fear, or a mix of all of those, it has become clear how the ability to rigorously apply critical thinking is the only way of limiting the likelihood of the world going mad yet again. It is also clear how big huge challenge is.
Today, I launched a new Substack blog where I will be posting material specifically aimed at helping people build their skills in critical thinking. This will be in the form of blog posts, by myself and others, information about resources; books, training courses and other material, and interviews and podcasts.
My main focus will be the Logical Thinking Process, a structured methodology based on Aristotelian logic, in which I have specialised. But I will also discuss critical thinking in general and how we can improve it.
I hope some of my subscribers will take advantage of a free subscription to this new blog. I call it The Edge of Reason.
My New Blog: The Edge of Reason
Thank you for your endeavours - however, I don't think those that lack logic & critical thinking skills actually realise this.
I like to think I failed to fall for the covid narrative because I have an Enlightenment Mind which also includes a Vulcan attitude to always taking the Logical approach to everything - no room for superstition or hysteria or following the crowd. Makes me sound like a complete twat but always trying to think logically seems to work (as does always trying not to take myself or anything else too seriously). I shall take a look as I know nothing about Aristotelian logic.
