Hint 05: The Invert
Perspective reversal
The Technique
When you have a strong opinion, invert it:
- State the opposite — The strongest version of the opposing view
- Find evidence for it — What supports this view?
- Identify your biases — Why do you prefer your original view?
- Calibrate confidence — How certain should you be?
You don’t have to change your mind. But you must understand the other side.
Why It Works
Confirmation bias keeps us in bubbles. Inversion forces confrontation with alternatives.
