Abstract:
Out of the millions of bits of information reaching your senses at any given moment, how does your brain choose what to perceive and what you remember. How does this "barely good enough" remembering determine what we think, how we think, and the decisions we make. disconfirming information. With Non-Positional Thinking, we lift ourselves above the lineup of positions and adopt the greatest possible perspective. From this vantage we can see that all positions, no matter how extreme or centrist, including our own, are deeply established mind-sets that must be examined and understood, both for the short and the long term. Ultimately we have to ask the life changing question, "What is it that I am NOT seeing, which if I saw would transform how I think about this issue or even about life itself?"
