Rationality, The Sequence, 이성과 추론
Reasoning is a fundamental cognitive process that enables us to understand, analyze, and make decisions. Through conceptualization and progressive thinking, we can discover new possibilities that were previously unimaginable. Like human civilization's continuous evolution, we should embrace daily renewal and growth.
Beyond the traditional dichotomy of reason versus emotion or modernism versus postmodernism, what matters most is our ability to control and integrate these different aspects of thinking.
Cognitive Architecture
- Human working memory has limited capacity, necessitating the grouping of concepts for efficient thinking
- Genius is not about speed, but about building comprehensive neural networks through connected thinking
Thinking Patterns
- Traditional approach: what → how → why
- More time-consuming but precise
- Suitable for detailed analysis and national-level decisions
- Visionary approach: why → how → what
- More efficient for strategic thinking
- Characteristic of transformative leaders
Individual Differences
- Emotional responses are influenced by innate characteristics (particularly gender-based)
- Thought patterns are shaped by environmental factors
