Institute of General Semantics

IGS founded 1938 by Alfred Korzybski
How well do you integrate ... what goes on 'in here' ... with what goes on 'out there'?

When we talk about wanting to become better critical thinkers, or more discriminating individuals, or simply more sane human beings, what we're talking about concerns questions such as:

How well do we 'interface' with the world around us?
How appropriately do we interpret what goes on outside our skin?
How appropriately do we interpret what goes on inside our skin?
Do we purposely and consistently apply what we 'know' about what goes on 'out there'?
Do we purposely and consistently apply what we 'know' about what goes on 'in here'?
This short tutorial will re-acquaint you with some notions you may find familiar, or "obvious". Perhaps it will introduce you to some new ways of 'thinking'. And the resulting implications might help you to be more critical, more discriminating ... and, perhaps, eventually more sane.
