The Ladder of Inference (Telling Ourselves Stories) simply illustrates how our own brain/mind generates our Story about who we are and what is happening from moment to moment. Our capacity for understanding the world is a wonderful, fantastic, amazing evolutionary accomplishment, with a few minor bugs remaining.

Chief among these bugs is the speed and automaticity by which we engage in the favorite sport of human beings; jumping to conclusions! By necessity, for efficiency sake, we lock onto a small slice of all available Data and block out the rest. We then interpret that limited Data through our existing Assumptions and Beliefs.

This class should get us rolling in the practice of challenging ourselves to hold our own stories lightly, to genuinely inquire and Actively Listen for other people’s stories, and to be one of those who can lead the way to common understandings that include more truth than any one mind can generate in isolation.
