And usually at the end of one conversation with him, people are starting to second guess their views.

And over time, sometimes it's months, sometimes it's weeks, sometimes it's years, they will end up abandoning their hate.

So I think the the basic idea behind think again is that

We we normally see intelligence as the ability to think and learn.

And that was true in a stable world.

We don't live in a stable world anymore.

We live in a rapidly changing, turbulent world.

And in a dynamic environment, intelligence is not just your ability to think and learn.

It's your capacity to rethink and unlearn.

Because the assumptions that you held yesterday may not be true today.

The strategies that you invested in, if you're a leader, the vision that you are today.

The decisions that you made in the past are not necessarily going to be effective in the future.

And so I got really interested in how do we improve people's skills at rethinking and unlearning.

And one of the the the bodies of research that that really blew my mind was on the I'm not biased bias.

Uh I think of it as the mother of all biases, Robin.

It's it's the belief that you might have flaws in your thinking, but I'm neutral, I'm rational, I am objective, I am a great thinker.

Well, it turns out the higher you score on an intelligence test, the more likely you are to fall victim to the I'm not biased bias.

Because you've got a long track record of being told that you're smart and you're right.

And the danger of that is, the better you are at thinking,

Often the worst you are rethinking.
