Is Your Reality Distorted?
Soldier vs Scout Mindset
When your steadfast opinions are tested, Julia Galef asks:
"Do you yearn to defend your own beliefs or do you yearn to see the world as clearly as you possibly can?"
Check out Julia's video to learn more about the defensive soldier and the curious scout mindsets, and enhance your clear thinking.
The Political Bias Test
Politics is an area where it is particularly easy to get swept up by the defensive soldier mindset and forget the scout's curiosity.
It's hard to notice in the moment, but it turns out people are less likely to believe or remember arguments that challenge their worldview compared to arguments that support it.
Try our Political Bias Test to receive a customized report showing how your political identity is likely influencing your understanding of specific current events and the outcomes of certain government policies.
ClearerThinking's mission is to close the gap between insights from research about human behavior and actions in the real world. We build best-in-class, interactive tools and mini-courses that you can use to change your habits, make better decisions, and achieve your goals.
We start with research into the existing academic literature on what's known about how to shift behavior, and then perform our own original studies in order to build best-in-class, free, interactive tools and mini-courses to help you improve your life.
Clearer Thinking was launched by Spark Wave, which is an evidence-driven research lab and startup foundry applying social science, iterative experimentation, and careful analysis to create socially beneficial software companies from scratch.
