There are only two kinds of labor in the world: Full-time or Part-time. In our research, we frequently encounter questionable dichotomies. When we can only pose choices as a dichotomy, we radically limit our ability to generate new and creative solutions.Īt Brave, we study work: how people work, how organizations work, and how the nature of work is changing. In its extreme, psychologists view binary thinking as a cognitive distortion. It allows us to make rapid, fight-or-flight decisions from heuristics, but is also prone to bias and error.

Boole tried to systematize Aristotle’s form of reasoning, which some believe dates back to the Egyptians or further.Īt this point, it seems, our brains are wired to like binary thinking. It reasons through a series of yes or no answers.
Boolean logic - the 0/1 code - has been the foundation of our information revolution for the last few decades.
