"f. Be evidence-based and encourage others to be the same. Most people do not look thoughtfully at the facts and draw their conclusions by objectively weighing the evidence. Instead, they make their decisions based on what their deep- seated subconscious mind wants and then they filter the evidence to make it consistent with those desires. It is possible to become aware of this subconscious process happening and to catch yourself, or to allow others to catch you going down this path. When you’re approaching a decision, ask yourself: Can you point to clear facts (i.e., facts believable people wouldn’t dispute) leading to your view? If not, chances are you’re not being evidence- based.

f.重视证据，并鼓励其他人也这么做。大多 数人并不仔细观察现实，通过客观审视证据来得 出结论。他们基于隐藏的潜意识做决定，然后筛 选证据，使之符合自己的这些欲望。你可以通过 训练来意识到这种潜意识过程的发生，并引导自 己，或者让其他人帮助自己学习如何依据证据行 动。在准备决策时问问自己：你能说出是哪些明 确的事实（即可信的人不会质疑的事实）让你形 成这种观点吗？如果你不能，你就很有可能不是 在依据证据行动。"
