Having been working in-between the social and the psychological, and in-between action and research, I became very aware of the fact that society`s conflicts are both cause and effect of our own psychological conflicts and prejudices. Furthermore, our thinking , which includes our worldviews, is the mediating cause and at the same time the solution of all human problems.
So I invested the last years of my life doing research on knowledge while researching the same process of research, which ended up in my current project, ThinkTWise (“Think Twice, Think Wise”), a set of software tools aimed at eliminating the hindrances that unnecessarily surround the process of knowing (and make it a painful experience), reducing the saturation of misinformation, helping thinkers produce better knowledge and making it accessible to decision-taking actors and educators to promote an optimal development.
