Welcome

Welcome to a new kind of "critical thinking" for an emotion-driven world.

The broader mission of Stephen Gibson's Truth-Driven Thinking^SM effort is to encourage intellectual honesty in contemporary dialogue by revealing the prevalence of human tendencies toward emotion-driven thinking, the hidden costs of acting upon the flawed assumptions that can result, and by illustrating that science, reason and evidence-based action are the best path to optimizing the “greater good” for all.

See our new READING IDEAS page

Historical essays, notes, and BLOG entries of TDT news, comment, and unconventional perspectives: Ben Stein has not been Expelled! (2/20/2008); What is the real "elephant in the room" when it comes to discussions of culture wars, global conflicts, 9/11, and the war on terror (8/11/2007)? How much guilt is enough (4/1/2007)? Have you see that "shift happens" video?

The above podcast program officially came to an end on January 14th, 2008--amidst too much other stuff going on :-(.  The good news (or bad news:-) is that in February I will begin posting some audio essays and observations from time to time. That said, there are over 56 historical episodes & programs that still allow you to vicariously experience my journey to truth-driven thinking--FREE! You may also find that my new novel covers many of the same topic, issues, and big questions about life--if differently--by way of an ironically emotional tale (see reviews/endorsements & at www.asecretoftheuniverse.com or at Amazon). I know this web site is neglected and "90s-looking" :-), but there is still a great deal of information, video and audio here that you are welcome to enjoy! Don't worry though, nobody here claims to have any unique claim on truth, nor dogmatic answers. We're just asking the tough questions, and leaving no sacred cow unturned (pardon the mixed metaphor). Perhaps if you spend enough time here, you will be able to take my pledge for truth?

Note: you can also listen FREE to Chapters 1 & 5 of the non-fiction, TDT audiobook, or  - download the full book for $10. There is also a podcast of excerpts and interviews for A Secret of the Universe available here.

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility.”

Truth and reality are inherently less profitable than sensationalist promotion
