Ask HN: Do people pay for critical thinking frameworks?
5 comments
People don't, organizations do. I spent 25 years employed by large corporations, and for literally anything that claims to improve team morale, productivity, etc. there is always a sufficiently high-level person that once attended the training, reckoned it wasn't a total disaster, and hired the vendor to cater to their team to get a bullet point on the "team building" section of their performance review.
be careful though, they go out of fashion as your champion leaves the org...
Such as?
I don't have any good examples. it's just that there are a lot of complex concepts and phenomena around critical thinking, like scientific method, logic, bayes theorem, falsifiability, cognitive biases, and so on and I thought it would be useful to have a framework that takes all of that into account.
Well there's epistemology, ontology, phenomenology. You can buy license for an ontology(I can recommend Gellish) but that's only kind of data model not whole framework. You'll need to look into the other ones to find something that fits, there isn't anything universal afaik.
