Book cover for Textbook Rationality: Rationality - and why we should teach it in schools
thinking rationally means making proper inferences. A rational person knows how to reason to conclusions that are most likely to be true.

“The commonplace notion that presumes measurements are exact quantities ignores the usefulness of simply reducing uncertainty, especially if eliminating uncertainty is not feasible (as is usually the case).”
Douglas W. Hubbard, How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business

“The cultural goal would be to raise the standard of rational due diligence, in both public discourse and personal reflection. Until we do this, the scientific revolution is not truly complete. Science has not reached its full potential until citizens have the rationality skills to responsibly interpret science stories in the media.”
Ivan Phillips, Textbook Rationality: Rationality - and why we should teach it in schools

Douglas W. Hubbard
“The fact is that the preference for ignorance over even marginal reductions in ignorance is never the moral high ground.”
Douglas W. Hubbard, How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business

“the competing theory must not only account for any new evidence, but also for the evidence that we amassed previously.”
Ivan Phillips, Textbook Rationality: Rationality - and why we should teach it in schools

Douglas W. Hubbard
“What they really mean is that “numbers can be used to confuse people, especially the gullible ones lacking basic skills with numbers.” With this, I completely agree,”
Douglas W. Hubbard, How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business
