What We Do

The Rational Future Institute works to promote the public understanding of rational thinking. One way we do this by creating new training materials and by providing links to existing educational resources. The Institute will also conduct research into new tools and techniques for more rational decision-making.

Why Now

Today, more than at any time in human history, we are threatened by our cognitive limitations. We live in a complex world that operates on the basis of economies and technologies that no single person can possibly understand. Yet, democracy and civic duty calls upon every one of us to decide how best to proceed into the future. Even if we rely on committees of experts or technological decision-making aids, we will need much better rational thinking skills if we are to survive the 21st century.
