"All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work." (Thomas Watson, IBM) The posts for this topic are related to thinking and information on brain research. The items posted are frequently directly related to one of my most popular management training programs -- Thinking Clearly and Analytically.

From a return to "simple" smartphones to timers that hide notifications, there seems to be a market for ways to disengage from our digital devices. This physical key from the innovative company Autonomous AI is the first I have tried, and I was doubtful.

Across most of modern medicine, we have become very good at measuring the body, and surprisingly poor at measuring the mind. We routinely track blood pressure, glucose, heart rate, cholesterol, sleep and physical activity. We repeat these measurements because a single reading rarely tells the whole story. What matters is the trajectory: where someone is…

Part of soccer’s beauty lies in its unpredictability. Already in World Cup 2026, we have seen Morocco tie with five-time champion Brazil and Australia overturn the odds by beating Turkey.

Some brains seem to defy Alzheimer's. Even when the disease's telltale plaques and tangles are present, certain individuals remain mentally sharp well into old age. This phenomenon, known as cognitive resilience, is one of the most intriguing puzzles in neuroscience today.

I have never heard a rock described as stupid. And the same would be true of a river, a hurricane, and even a thermostat. Stupidity seems to be a sophisticated form of behavior despite its ignominious associations.

Language models identify psychiatric symptoms nearly as accurately as early-career clinicians (Medical Xpress): A study led by the Central Institute of Mental Health (CIMH) provides initial evidence that large language models can identify complex psychopathological findings in transcripts of psychiatric interviews with accuracy comparable to that of predominantly young clinicians. The study examined 10 language…

We have more information than ever in history.
But critical thinking is catastrophically scarce.
That’s why we drown in noise, fakes, and AI illusions.
Algorithms feed us what we want to hear.
We believe in convenient truths.
And we live in the illusion of knowledge.
Truth is not about “true or false.”
Truth is in facts.
But people don’t choose facts, they choose comfort.
2,500 years ago, Socrates already saw this trap.
He didn’t seek ready-made answers.
He asked questions that destroyed illusions.
Here are his 7 rules of critical thinking, louder today than ever:
1. Define terms
→ most debates collapse on vague words.
2. Question assumptions
→ every idea hides a belief. Expose it.
3. Demand evidence
→ without facts, any opinion is just noise.
4. Test consequences
→ strong ideas survive reality checks.
5. Spot contradictions
→ consistency is the real test of truth.
6. Doubt the obvious
→ the most dangerous beliefs are the ones nobody questions.
7. Consider alternatives
→ the opposite view often reveals your blind spot.
This isn’t philosophy for philosophy’s sake.
It’s a survival skill in 2025.
💬 Which rule hits you the hardest?
