I'm worried really about how much the fuzzy thinking is going on in the world you know fuzzy thinking do people just not thinking straight consider this following example imagine you have a spelling bee and this is contrived but it makes the point there's a spelling bee and you have to spell the word cat okay so one student spells it C eighty person got it right next person spells it k eighty that's wrong you got that wrong third person spells it xqw you realize that is marked equally is wrong with the K 18 when you could
argue that ka T is a better spelling for cat than C 18 dictionaries know this because that's how they spell it phonetically and so we've built a system for ourselves where there is an answer and everything else is not the answer even when some answers are better than others so our brains are absent the wiring capable of coming up with an original thought if you're an employer and two candidates come up looking for a job and this is again a contrived example and and you're interviewing the two candidates and and you say as per part
of this interview I just want to ask you what's the height of the spire on this building and the candidate says oh I was I was just I was a an architect I've majored in architecture for a while and I memorize the heights of all the buildings on campus I know the height of that spire is a hundred and fifty feet fact 155 feet tall okay turns out that's the right answer that's the right answer and person came up with it and second that person goes away the next candidate walks in do you know the
height of the spire on this building the cannon says no you're gonna be my back person runs outside measures the length of the shadow of that spire on the ground measures the length of grew to her own shadow ratios the height to the shadows comes up with a number runs back inside it's about a hundred and fifty feet who are you gonna hire I'm hiring the person who figured it out even though it took that person longer even though the person's answer is not as precise I'm hiring that person that person knows how to use
the mind in a way not previously engaged [Music] you realize when you know how to think it empowers you far beyond those know only what to think [Music] you
