Thinking about Thinking: Can the Face Be a Window to the Mind?

Abstract

Mankind is on the verge of an evolutionary breakthrough that has the potential to transform the human way of life. In this manuscript I propose a new approach to education, which focuses on developing the “intuitive mind”. This proposed “Triple I” formula of education (instinct + intellect + intuition) involves a much more thorough integration of personality aspects and internal synthesis, which fosters independent creative thinking and promotes the group’s interests. Here I detail the scientific rational for this proposal, while also exploring a potential scientific tool to guide such educational training. Based on current scientific research, I hypothesize that facial luminosity patterns can be used as a sort of “fingerprint” to identify intuition’s dominated thinking patterns in individuals. This technology can be developed to provide a window into the mind of a person, and in this way can guide efforts to develop an evolutionarily more advanced state of thinking led by the intuitive mind.
