Assumptions

As a Humanist, I assume natural causes to all my problems. And this matters. Because your assumptions directly impact how you go about solving your problems.----more---- If you assume wrong, you won’t solve your problem. This might seem minor, but I have a kid with epilepsy. His horseback riding teacher also has a child with epilepsy and told me that when she was religious, her friends told her that she must be doing something wrong for god to punish her with a sick child.

Assume religious causes to your problem and you will seek religious solutions.

The problem is that – religious solutions almost never work.

Epilepsy has a natural cause and can be fixed with natural medical solutions.

Whenever you are engaged in problem solving, start by assuming the problem has a natural cause.

You will drastically improve your problem solving abilities by doing this one thing.
