#112 Adam Grant: Rethinking Your Position

The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish

NOTE

Embrace the Spectrum, Reject the Binary

Embracing the complexity of beliefs and categorizing them into spectrums helps in understanding the nuances instead of a simple binary view. The belief that understanding the other side is the solution may be flawed, as most charged issues have a spectrum of beliefs rather than just two sides. By recognizing the nuance in the spectrum of beliefs, one can see more shades of grey and less black and white in their own beliefs. The concept of binary bias can lead to overlooking important categories, and recognizing the spectrum can lead to a more comprehensive understanding, as seen in various projects in psychology where the middle ground often proves to be the most effective.
