Rethinking Our Mental Defaults
Have you ever wondered why toddlers question everything while adults cling to certainty? In Mann Gulch, 1949, smokejumper Wagner Dodge faced an advancing wildfire and made a counterintuitive choice. Instead of running uphill with his crew, he lit an "escape fire," burning the grass to create a safe zone. His bewildered team refused to follow this unprecedented strategy. Twelve men died; Dodge survived. This tragedy illuminates how we typically approach challenges. Most of us operate in one of three limiting modes: preacher (defending sacred beliefs), prosecutor (finding flaws in others' reasoning), or politician (seeking approval). Each serves a purpose but closes us off from reconsidering our positions. The alternative? Think like a scientist. Scientists don't protect knowledge-they revise it. They actively seek ways they might be wrong, treating knowledge as a hypothesis rather than truth. This approach works far beyond laboratories. Italian entrepreneurs trained in scientific thinking generated $12,000 in revenue compared to just $300 for the control group because they pivoted twice as often, abandoning failed strategies. Consider BlackBerry's collapse from dominating nearly half the smartphone market to less than 1% by 2014. Co-founder Mike Lazaridis, despite his brilliance, dismissed touchscreens: "Try typing on a touchscreen without looking at it-impossible." He remained in preacher mode, defending rather than rethinking, even as evidence mounted that consumers wanted something different. Surprisingly, intelligence doesn't guarantee adaptability. It can actually make us more vulnerable to fixed thinking, as our analytical skills become weapons to protect rather than test our beliefs.
