Questions, answered
How does the Manipulation Gauntlet work?Eight everyday ambushes — the viral headline, the doorstep pitch, the miracle bottle, the certain pundit — each a three-decision story. You apply the trivium: gather the real input, reason past the trick, choose the response. Falling for a manipulation resets your Clarity Streak and explains exactly which lever moved you. The scenarios reshuffle forever.
Is this about politics?No side is taken anywhere in the Gauntlet — the tricks themselves are the only target, and they're used by every side on every issue. It’s the companion game to The Sovereign Mind: Input, Process, Output, which carries the full method.
Is it really free?Yes — free, no login, no data harvested. Scores save anonymously so your streak survives between visits. GSU operates under The Foundation for Global Instruction, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
What should I do next?Read the anchor text, run the Sovereign Mind Climb (78 questions of fallacies, biases, and statistics tricks), and tonight: find one claim in your own feed and ask what would prove it wrong. That one is homework.
