Introduction
Unified model of human cognition and emotion
Nanojudgements are the building blocks that create all human experiences
Managing them is essential for achieving deliberate wealth, well-being, and wisdom
Leveraging them is vital for thriving under uncertainty
What are nanojudgements?
Definition
Nanojudgments are instantaneous and involuntary responses to any mental or physical stimulus. They consist of 2 parts: an evaluation of the stimulus as either positive or negative and an accompanying pleasant or unpleasant feeling in the mind and body.
Nanojudgements are driven by both nature and nurture. Cascades of nanojudgements coalesce to create our preferences and conditionings. These, in turn, shape our opinions and choices, which eventually result in behavior.
Laws of nanojudgements
First law
The true nature of nanojudgements can never be accurately known; it can only be inferred based on subsequent analysis and actions
Applications: Bias Management, Belief Metamorphosis
Second law
Protecting one's self-interest is the sole objective of nanojudgements; it is most evident in stories we craft to convey our perspectives
Applications: Narrative Management, Behaviour Transformation
Science of nanojudgements
Deep synthesis
The model of nanojudgements is interdisciplinary and builds on thousands of peer-reviewed papers across neuroscience, psychology, genetics, evolutionary biology, anthropology, sociology, economics, and mathematics.
While being a contemporary, scientific model, it also reflects ancient wisdom from various Western philosophies and Eastern religions.
Scope and limitations
The scope of nanojudgements is broad. It is a predictive, unified model of human cognition and emotion. Constructionist in approach, it integrates across systems and levels. Its goal is to present a simple, actionable framework that can be applied in real-life situations by almost anyone.
Like all models, it uses approximations and is a mere representation of reality. It is biased towards intelligibility and practicality and subject to interpretive variability.
Working with nanojudgements
Fundamental
Nanojudgements are the fundamental units that shape every thought and feeling. Skillfully managing them allows anyone to construct more beneficial human experiences.
Teachable
With training and practice, it is possible for anyone to become proficient at using nanojudgements for their benefit. Many successful individuals already do so without even realizing it.
Superpower
Mastering nanojudgements allows individuals and teams to make significantly better "gut calls" or "intuitive decisions" when facing extreme uncertainty. For example: investments, critical hiring, layoffs, parenting, career decisions, policy-making, etc.
Trained use of nanojudgements can also lead to improved mental and physical health and, for some individuals, even self-actualization.
