If anyone has given a great deal of thought to how we use information and the consequences of using information in different ways, it is Steve Jobs. When he said, “The axis today is not liberal and conservative, the axis is constructive-destructive….”, I could not agree more. Goal-directed thinking can lead to individuals coming together in a constructive way, while dichotomous thinking can separate people leading to destructive tendencies.
Fight Small-Mindedness
It is time to seriously think about the way we think.
Okay I’m convinced. Let’s put it to action.
Barbi,
Thanks for the encouragement. Beyond maintaining this blog, it seems it is about encouraging the use of the word dichotomous. Particularly as relates to simple mindedness replacing or confounding problem based or goal oriented thinking.
To me this is still in its very early stages so I am open to all thoughts. Would love to hear from you again.
