About
The Mindflexing (formerly Mind 'Sets') & the Patriarcial Matrix mind map template explores the contrast between Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset, drawing on Carol Dweck's framework while extending it into a critique of cultural and systemic limitations. With 19 nodes across a single sheet, the template covers key concepts such as 'Limited & singular' versus 'Boundless & open' intelligence, the 'Dominant belief' that is 'Common & almost invisible', and the idea that fixed mindset is 'Installed to the masses to avoid Authority (PATRIX) challenges'. It also introduces a unique node 'Has a Potency!!' for resolving transition complexities. This Xmind template serves as a cheat sheet for understanding how school and family indoctrinate young people to accept limited agency, and offers a pathway to 'Reach higher levels of achievement and feelings of free will'.
