Summary: Think Again (Canada/US) explores the power of rethinking in a world where certainty and dogma often spread like wildfire.

​Much of the time, we hold onto our deeply cherished beliefs and seek out confirming evidence for them. In the process, we settle on beliefs that may be flawed and rarely, if ever, revisit them.

When we do so, we act in three main roles: as preachers trying defend our beliefs from questioning, as prosecutors attacking the arguments of the opposition, and as politicians using rhetoric to persuade others to our point of view. 

However, there is a fourth role that is often neglected: that of a scientist questioning a hypothesis. 

I co-created an infographic outlining these four modes of thinking. Check it out :
