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.

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.
