Escaping The Trap of Binary Thought Patterns

Binary thought patterns limit the way people frame questions and thoughts, leading to a habit of seeing things as either 'yes or no', 'on or off', 'go or no go'. This restrictive thinking is taught in the military as a decisive 'go or no go' mentality, overlooking the possibility of intermediate steps or alternative strategies. Building relationships and connections before emergencies is emphasized to avoid solely relying on them during critical moments, emphasizing the need to escape binary thought patterns and embrace more nuanced and comprehensive perspectives.
