Seeing Through the Powerful Assumptions That Control the World
Why do people in our society think and behave the way that they do? What is true and what isn't? How can I know which voices to listen to in a hurricane of information? Dave Richardson helps us discover the answers to these questions using his understanding of assumptions and how they work. He applies this understanding to contemporary issues such as wealth inequality, race, gender, and more to reveal the hidden assumptions behind these issues. For older students and adults, this course will whet your appetite to Learn To Discern.
Why Learn To Discern?
You are constantly bombarded with information every day. How can you quickly and reliably discern what is true and what isn’t? Is there a practical method that works in the real world? And who has the time to learn about complex ideologies and arguments?
The president of Assumptions Institute, Dave Richardson, takes 40 years of experience discerning truth and distills it into a simple skill that can be learned in hours, and allows you to accurately figure out what is really true in classrooms, media, and the culture. With practice you can use this skill in real world situations in 30 seconds.
How can he do that? Dave knows the world of academia that creates the cultural trends and powerful ideas that influence us all. He has consulted with university professors in major universities for two decades. Dave is the author of the groundbreaking book Transparent: How to See Through the Powerful Assumptions That Control You, and he has two post-graduate degrees including one from the University of Oxford.
Oh, no! Not another ivory tower intellectual! No worries, Dave is the real deal. He grew up in a single-wide trailer house. His dad was a truck driver and his mom was a bookkeeper. Dave knows and is as comfortable with farmers, truckers, loggers, and welders as he is with professors, business leaders, or politicians.
Dave knows the powerful ideas of the university, and helps regular people quickly understand and see through the fake and deceitful narratives that seek to control you. Bringing complex and persuasive false narratives from 40,000 feet to sea level using the power of assumptions is Dave’s gift. He has condensed this all into a simple, practical skill that you can learn in hours. The skill is so simple it is in a mobile app. It will change your life.
When you discover the power of assumptions, you will never see the world the same again, and you will Learn To Discern.
