GREYSCALE THINKING: Is it true?

Posted on March 2nd, 2010 by Michael

What is greyscale thinking?
Greyscale (or grayscale) thinking is a tool for sorting out truths from lies.

What is Truth?
Truth is that which, on the balance of evidence, corresponds to reality.

To survive and prosper, there are two serious cognitive problems we need to solve. Greyscale thinking is a powerful tool anyone can use for solving both these problems.

Problem One: How to know if a truth is really a lie?
Problem Two: How to know if a lie is really a truth?

What difference does it make?
The difference is an immediate increase in:
• your survival intelligence,
• your skills to survive and prosper in a rapidly changing environment,
• your speed of thought.

How long does it take to learn?
It takes ten minutes a day, for ten days, to learn greyscale thinking.

In our exploding world of cybermedia with photoshop, digital manipulation and peer2peer messaging at the speed of light, I believe that the global epidemic spread of lies may be one of the most serious challenges facing long-term human survival.

I believe this challenge needs to be taken very seriously and could be considered to be of a threat level similar to that of Swine or Avian or Bird Flu. Many scientists share this view.

As an antidote, I am now putting forward a new thinking methodology to help meet this challenge. To follow on from the previous SOT thinking tools, thinking hats and brain software, this new tool is called: greyscale thinking: how to sort a truth from a lie.
