logical thinking

The average adult makes thousands of decisions per day, but not all decisions are logical. Anikoji Kiyotaka is a master strategist who makes logical decisions by keeping his emotions in check. To make logical decisions like him, understand the different parts of the brain and override emotional responses with logic. Anikoji remains calm and collected because he is confident and competent in all areas of his life. Training your brain and gathering information are also important in making logical deductions. Lastly, mastering the art of reading people can help you gather information and make accurate deductions. Trusting your gut instinct is also important. Did you know that the average adult makes around 33,000 to 35,000 decisions per day? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. But are all these decisions made logically? I mean, let's take a look at our buddy, white room student 9-11. Okay, let's see what he does. He enters a taxi. He says hi to the driver. Okay, so far I guess this guy is pretty smart. Wait, what's he doing there? Is he unzipping his pants? Enter Anikoji Kiyotaka, the master strategist. His calm demeanor, analytical prowess, and strategic thinking make him the epitome of logical decision making. So, how can we learn from him and make the same logical decisions like he does? What makes Anikoji so fierce in decision making is his empty canvas of emotions. Look, there's only two things that really affect your decision making, logic and emotions. Since Anikoji views the world in a way where he views everything in a bird's eye view, he never gets greedy, mad, sad, horny, whatever. He is always going to make the correct decision since there is nothing stopping him from doing so. For example, let's say you were gambling, playing blackjack. The reason why people always end up losing their money is due to the casino manipulating their emotions. For example, let's say the man starts with a $5 hand. He wins and he gets $10. He wins again and he gets $15. The man gambling just made $10 from what? Just clicking a few buttons. This causes the human brain to go nuts with dopamine and elevate their greed to another level, which in turn ends up with them losing it all. While on the other hand, someone like Anikoji, this would never happen to him because he has none of these. But how? How is he able to use his brain so effectively? I mean, he's a human too. I mean, he is fictional, but whatever. So number one, understand the three brain types. Anikoji's decisions are driven by his neocortex, the logical brain. To emulate his approach, familiarize yourself with the reptilian brain and the limbic brain. So basically, the reptilian brain is your survival instincts and the limbic brain is your emotions. Recognize when these parts of your brain are taking over and learn to override them with logic. And look, let me explain how to do that. So let's begin. Majority of the population uses the neocortex a mere 5% of the time. So that's your logical brain. While the limbic brain dominates at 40% of the usage. So that means nearly half of your decisions are driven by emotions. And we know, logic trumps emotions. But EG, how do I use the specific side of the brain? Well, to begin, let's not be idiots. The side of your brains are not like a regular body part. You can't just choose to use them. It's not like your arm, you can just lift it up. But in fact, they're already being used every second. The first step to using your neocortex more often is to become aware of when you're operating from this part of your brain versus the limbic brain. Notice the moments when you're making decisions based on logic versus emotions. This self-awareness is crucial for consciously shifting your decision-making process. For example, if you're gambling and you are up $200 from $0. Continuing your attack is your option because if you want to lose it all, it's up to you if you want to hit that jackpot. But let's be honest, you're mostly operating based on greed and not thinking rationally. You had $0 to begin with and now you have $200. We know when you should leave. So, for the next part, I'm going to dive into what makes Anarkoji extremely logical and aloof at the same time. Here's the thing, you can watch as many videos of how to be logical as you want, but the fact is that when you're in class and the guy sitting beside you gets his head blown off, you aren't going to be thinking logically. You're going to be shitting your pants and maybe, like I'll say I'll be shitting my pants as well, but some guy just died, his head got blown off, maybe I'm next. But for some reason, if we imagine Anarkoji in that situation, he wouldn't even be fazed. But why is that? It's the difference between the pain slash thrash exposure. So, the reason why Anarkoji is never fazed, not when it's a 1v4, not when the whole class tries to get him expelled, basically nothing is fazing this guy. If his girl got pregnant, still he wouldn't be fazed. It's because he actually did shit which makes him, one, confident, and two, it seems like fodder. For example, when you're Anarkoji and you have a 110-7 record of fighting, a 1v4 against amateurs won't faze you. And whether it's the intelligence realm or the physical realm, Anarkoji is never fazed because he is the best, he has competence. And when you're the best, you're not prey, you are the hunter. Not to make this any cringy, but this is just biologically true. In the jungle, the prey always makes illogical decisions based on fear and emotions, while the hunter, the lion, just lays calmly like he's not worried about a thing. Here's the problem, you won't be able to make logical decisions, especially when it matters, like Anarkoji, because you need to be formidable in all areas of your life. Like for example, after you're done watching this video, you may make a couple more logical decisions, but when it actually matters most, for example, your house is being rocked, you're not going to be able to make a logical decision because you don't have the pain threshold to handle it. Since he's formidable in all areas of life, it allows him the insurance of staying cool and collected, and then it allows him to make a logical decision because he is the hunter, he's never the prey, so he's never phased, and since he's never phased, he can make that decision. I hope you guys understand. So, I just wanted to get out of the way. So next, in order to think logically, you'll need your brain to do some pushups, situps, and squats. Just like Anarkoji, you can train your brain to think logically, and I'm not talking any basic shit like chess or meditation, since that's like level 1 scrub stuff, which if you're not doing it, I don't know what you have been doing, like at least do something, like at least do the level 1 work. But if you haven't already, and I haven't even seen, and no one even messaged, like usually when I make programs, people message me, like I have around 30-50 people message me each time like they finish the program in total, but my 8 week free cognitive ability program, which is in the description, is basically a workout program for your brain through this website, Human Benchmark, but no one has completed it yet. When it could legit make you think logically, increase your intuition, etc. etc. So just hop on that and trust me, I'll bet you all my money plus is free, you're going to be able to think more logically after. Next, lastly, your last step in making logical decisions are, drumroll please, deductions. Making deductions is information, more specifically, facts. You must first be aware of all facts revolving on what or who you're working on. Because let's be honest, what is logic without information? You're just basing your logic off what? Your gut feeling? I mean, I love to follow my gut feeling, but come on, logic trumps everything, to be honest. So, to begin, to master deductions, you want to first, use past experiences and present observations, and you can usually connect the dots. Like some wise guy once said, I don't know who said it, but, there's nothing new under the sun, it has all been done before. Similar to chess, nearly every move, every action, has been done before. That's why all these chess grandmasters always react quickly, because they have thousands of patterns recognized, so they already know, oh, this move was there, I can put that there, because it's a pattern. So with that said, if every action has been done before, the more you understand human nature, and the more experienced and observed these things, the more the pattern forms, and making it easier to come to a conclusion. The second step to making deductions is forcing things you can analyze to come to light. You need to force information out of others if you want things to work with, but you also need to know how to work with such information. The key, mastering the art of reading people. How? Let me tell you. Firstly, let them speak. Sit back and let the other person volunteer information, rather than pulling it out of them. Don't let on what you know too early or at all. Stay relaxed while observing. What you are observing is not the person themselves, but the person as they are in an interrogation. But don't make it weird like a creep. Just focus on the words and tone rather than body language. And don't worry about individual signs and clues like touching the nose, looking up to the right, or stuttering. Rather, look at how the person responds in general to shifts in the conversation, especially at junctures where you believe they might be making a story on the fly. So for example, over-detailed stories are often a lie. Listen for stories that seem unusually long or detailed. Liars use more words, and they may even talk more quickly. Watch primarily for inconsistencies, details of the stories that don't add up, emotional expressions that don't fit the story, or abrupt shifts in the way the story is told. Being chatty, then all of a sudden getting quiet and serious when you ask a particular question, that's basically like straight out of a movie. Like, come on, you can catch it. Using context and looking for patterns. Always interpret your conversation as if it were a movie. Always interpret your conversations in the light of what you already know, the context and other details you observed in the interactions with this person. It's all about looking at patterns and then trying to determine if any disruptions in that pattern point to something interesting. Don't be afraid to trust your gut instinct. And I would say to say that you should always trust your gut instinct. That's what I do. Your unconscious mind may have picked up some data your conscious mind hasn't become aware of. Don't make decisions on intuition alone, but don't dismiss it too quickly either. Making deductions is a key to making logical decisions, as having a trust board in front of you before you place a piece is quite useful, don't you think? And I'll end the video here for today. If you want to be in the real life white room slash classroom that leads, I have an online server of classes A to D and special exams every week. In a white room atmosphere. And also a one year white room training guide with over 400 slides, bigger than the majority of books. If you're interested, check the description to join. I'm not going to give you more info because it's on the website. But yeah, peace on the street, there's also a test to join. See you guys.
