critical thinking method in a polarized world
The Why
is a Pie
“when the entire world is connected, the most adamant make the most noise - and the most adamant are polarized ideologies. A connected world is doomed to polarization as the increase of connectivity can never be matched by a profoundly lesser increase is a population's understanding through critical thinking”
The Why is a Pie method seeks to change that
Overview
The Why is a Pie is a methodology and an ideology that is intended to provide a tool to
combat this polarization. It takes the unconventional directive to discard the pursuit of agreement in its foundation, replacing the need to win and/or convince with a method to listen and understand exclusively. It sets aside everything we know about debate and argument and replaces common Lincoln/Douglas practices, which are engrained in how we present topics in law, business, and socially, with a critical thinking method of communication grounded in a veritable pie chart of what is important, how important it is, and seeks to create a comprehensive bridge of factors involved with an emphasis on non-emotional listing and exploration of the elements present. The result is a collaborative experience with increased engagement between parties that have heretofore been unapproachable, polarized, and derisive.
