À propos

Whose thinking is that is a 35-node mind map template designed for critical thinkers, researchers, and students who want to analyze and validate ideas systematically. It covers five core branches: Working with theory, Abstract conceptualization, Reading for Information, How thinking develops, and Validating thinking and testing fo plausibility. The template includes practical techniques like 'Text deconstruction' (marking up keywords) and 'Text reconstruction' (reassembling key elements in a mind map), as well as critical evaluation prompts such as 'Who made this content on whose behalf'. It also introduces concepts like 'Patrix intrusions' and 'permaculture ethics' to check for bias. This 'Whose thinking is that' template is both a cheat sheet for intellectual rigor and a structured process for building collective intelligence.

Questions fréquentes

What is the 'Whose thinking is that' mind map template used for?

It helps you critically evaluate information by tracing the origin and biases of ideas, deconstructing texts, and validating your own thinking against established theories and evidence.

How do I use the 'Text deconstruction' and 'Text reconstruction' nodes?

First, mark up keywords and phrases in a piece of content (deconstruction). Then reassemble those elements in a mind map and look for connections (reconstruction). This reveals hidden patterns and assumptions.

What does 'Patrix intrusions' mean in this template?

It refers to dominant cultural narratives or systemic biases that unconsciously influence your thinking. The template prompts you to identify and challenge these intrusions.

Can I customize this template for academic research?

Yes. Replace the example nodes with your own sources, add branches for specific theories, and use the critique questions to evaluate each source's credibility and bias.

Is this template suitable for group work or collaborative analysis?

Absolutely. The 'Building the collective intelligence' node suggests sharing your mind map with others to benefit from diverse perspectives and applied intelligence.
