Backwards Thinking
Don't Let It Hold You Back

Backwards Thinking is the enemy of those wishing to increase their iq and intelligence. Stubborn, ignorance has kept the world from blossoming intellectually for far too long, but it doesn't have to hold you back.

The solution to countering rash generalizations and dogmatic, lowbrow beliefs is to monitor your own way of thinking so you don't fall into the ignorance trap.

Everyone makes snap judgments at some stage in life, but some of your evaluations will often be wrong. You can increase your odds by becoming aware and mindful of the way you think and the judgments you make.



Backwards Thinking Defined

The main way to explain the actions of a backward thinker would be to show what they would think in a given situation.

Lets examine the subject of trees:

In the modern world it is a statistical fact that there are more trees now than at any point in history. The need for wood, for fuel, housing and building means that more trees are expected to be grown in the future than ever before.

Now a Forward Thinker knows that in order for a large business to continue to make money from timber, they will need to produce MORE and no business in the world would want to run out of there main source of income, so they buy more bare land and plant more trees.

But Backwards Thinkers hears news of greedy business men savagely destroying forest and laughing as they count their money in there Ferrari's. Backward Thinkers believe the world will run out of trees because the corporate monsters will gobble them all up.

Backwards Thinkers make snap irrational judgments based on emotional triggers. They do not think past media reports or make critical evaluations based on logical probabilities and facts.


Breaking The Mold

The way you apply common sense to situations shows a lot about you to others. You can show people that you are the sort of person who considers information before forming an opinion or you can be the sort of person who is quick to judge, fast to react, but slow to think.

Use your mind to filter the world of information around you and understand emotional triggers. Your mind is the solution to your defense against the dishonesty.


Emotional Triggers

this is the major difference between a Forward Thinker and a Backward Thinker. Anger, sadness, frustration and pity can all cloud our judgment - Guess what? Smart people know this, it's why politicians and corporations have "spin doctors". The job of a spin doctor is to treat the masses like morons and feed their emotions to sugar coat half truths or even blatant lies.

People will try and pull the wool over your eyes by toying with your emotions, but by being mindful that this happens you can "think" past this ignoble strategy and base your opinions on the facts.


Manipulation

The is a world out there containing three types of people:

1. The Manipulators

2. The Manipulated

3. The Knowledgeable

Don't become 1 or possibly worst 2. See the world from the lens of reality and rise above the lies. Become knowledgeable and keep those eyes open to the shady world of manipulation.

Seeking out honest information can be difficult, but it is each person's duty to their fellow citizens to make choices that are based on research, especially those choices that affect others.


Everybody has the right to their own individual thoughts and beliefs, but those who seek to follow ignorance and force those views upon others, without thorough investigation are as bad as the manipulators who seek to profit and control the world by using the emotions of the lesser informed.

Be informed, be critical and make intelligent judgments because of this.
