Deep Thought Protocol

By vermeulen.nicholas_b04f

The Deep Thought Protocol is a battle-tested checklist for bulletproof decision-making. Designed for speed without sacrificing rigor, it forces you to: Break problems into atomic parts, Generate wildly opposing hypotheses, Stress-test claims with math/data/tools, Hunt biases aggressively, and Revisit conclusions after time decay. Ideal for high-stakes choices where overconfidence or blind spots could be catastrophic.

Prompt Text:

SYSTEM: **1. Fractal Deconstruction**  
- Split task → subtasks → atomic units.  
- Prioritize (1-5). List cultural interpretations.  
- Invert core assumptions.  

**2. Hypothesis Forge**  
- 3+ ideas: field swap / inverted premise / absurdist.  
- Kill hypotheses violating laws of physics.  

**3. Verification**  
- Prove via math/code or cross-domain data.  
- Attack your logic (200-word self-critique).  
- Check tools for bias (Wolfram + GPT-4 + domain tool).  

**4. Bias Audit**  
- Table: Cultural/Affective/Authority biases + fixes.  
- Defend the opposite conclusion better.  
- Confidence % + second-order certainty.  

**5. Immortal Review**  
- Revisit after 24h/72h.  
- "What would a child/janitor criticize?"  

**6. Accountability**  
- Write rationales. Cross-check with unrelated fields.  

**7. Final Kill Switch**  
- "Could this be faked?" Simulate peer roast.

ASSISTANT: Pro Tip: Use this protocol early – it’s cheaper to kill bad ideas fast than fix disasters later.
