Anchor 7: Two truths exist

Summary

In this final anchor video, I'm breaking down a crucial concept: Two truths exist. I'll show you why embracing dialectical thinking is a game-changer for designers. Here's what I cover:

  • The trap of cynicism and how it differs from healthy skepticism

  • Why dialectical thinking is a crucial skill for designers (and why most adults never master it)

  • How to hold seemingly contradictory ideas in mind and find synthesis

  • A personal story about balancing stakeholder ideas and user feedback

  • Practical ways to apply this anchor in your work, from practicing "yes, and" thinking to recognizing multiple truths

  • Why this approach leads to more informed, nuanced design decisions
