so interesting, how differently people's brains work

.

Think Again has been full of "maybe" and "might" and "it depends on context."

In Week 4, we have "true" and "false." 

My particular brain leaps up and embraces "true" and "false" with a glad cry:  "Hooray!  *At last* something we can depend on!!!!  It's true, or it's not.  Period.  The end.  Yay!!!!"

It is so interesting that the point made in the purple rectangle is clearly not joyously obvious to everyone.

The first Think Again lecture which touched on this point spent at least five minutes going over it.

The second, likewise. 

We conclude that what is beautifully and crystally clear to some is muddy and impenetrable to others.


I am reminded of a point from Model Thinking -- that a diverse group of people, working on a problem, are more likely to come up with a good solution than are a group of people who are not as diverse.  I bet this sort of diversity, whatever you want to call it, between people for whom this sort of classical logic is clear and lovely, and people for whom it ... isn't, would be one of the kinds of diversity that is helpful..................
