We think wrong. We do not put our amazing brains to their best use: finding facts and reliable measures and reasoning forwards to the best explanatory models.
Instead, we fall prey to emotional appeals, attach ourselves to a model, and then seek “facts” to support what we have already decided, rejecting those that contradict it. We “reason” backwards, much to the delight of those who choose to manipulate our decisions through emotion.
Project MELD seeks to provide tools to help change this. It begins with education - the place where we learn to think and reason properly. By providing an engaging visual model that supports reasoning, argumentation and exploration across a wide variety of topics, we help teach the essential skills of forward reasoning.
