Inverse Thinking

1. A cognitive technique used to challenge and expand personal perspectives by deliberately reversing one’s usual way of thinking about a subject or idea. This involves considering the opposite of what is typically believed or assumed, such as viewing an attribute once thought undesirable in a positive light. The goal is not necessarily to adopt the opposite belief, but to explore and examine the subject from a different angle, encouraging new insights and challenging ingrained judgments.

2. A mental exercise where one takes a commonly held view or assumption and actively imagines it in its inverse form, questioning why something is perceived the way it is, and considering what value or meaning might exist in the opposite perspective.

He thinks covid was not a big deal

Mas Sirrah "He thinks covid was not a big deal"

Hym "This ☝️ is a trap. He's trying to frame it as though it either WAS or WAS NOT 'a big deal' (which is this amorphous and subjective phrase). How 'big of a deal' it was would exist on a gradient and the REAL question is 'Was it a big enough deal to shut down the country and destroy the economy for years to come and does it mean that we should set a precedent where people are expected to cede authority over their bodily autonomy to the state?'and the ANSWER is no. All of the data suggested that the answer was 'No' BEFORE we shut the country down and AFTER we opened everything back up it was revealed that IT WASN'T a good idea to do that. The conservative media reported this in real time and they were CORRECT. Also, if the vaccine works, the people who take it are fine and the people who don't SHOULD BE adequate informed of the risks and have made their own decision."

Mas Sirrah "This is why people shouldn't listen to you!"

Hym "You're not the savior, Sam-Er, Mas! I know mommy told you that Jewish women are little Jesus factories but nobody needs you to save them and they die either way. You're being told to go fuck yourself, Jew. No I will not take a vaccine if I don't fucking feel like it. If you force me, I will manually kill the people I WOULD HAVE killed by not taking the vaccine. Get the fuck right out of here."
