CatalystBeginner
Mental Catalyst
Catalyst arising in thought, belief, or perspective.
Advanced definition
Mental catalyst includes a worldview cracking, a contradiction surfacing, or an old assumption refusing to hold. It pushes the thinker to revise the map.
Common misunderstanding
Mental catalyst is not won by 'being right.' It is metabolized by allowing the question to change you.
Healthy application
Let contradictions sit instead of collapsing them immediately into a familiar position.
For reflection
"What idea has been knocking that I keep deflecting?"
