RE:THINK
Because your next thought could change everything.
Your pit stop before your brain hits cruise control!
RE:THINK wanders (with purpose) through the messy, magical intersection of neuroscience, inclusion, thinking, and everyday leadership. Think sharp insights, bold questions, and the occasional friendly prod to your prefrontal cortex.
We serve up a cocktail of science, curiosity, and unapologetically honest reflection. No jargon. No fluff. Just the good stuff that gets under your synapses and shifts things.
Whether you're sparking a culture change or just wondering why things feel a bit... off, this is your nudge to think differently, lead bravely, and act like the future depends on it. (Spoiler: it does.)

Let’s be honest: no one feels their most inclusive when they’re running on four hours of sleep, a packet of crisps, and 17 passive-aggressive emails.

The Meritocracy Myth: Your Brain Didn’t Build That Alone
Why Neuroscience Says It’s Not All About Hard Work. Let’s just get this out of the way early: You did not get where you are just because you worked hard.
There. We said it.
Yes, you’re brilliant.
Yes, you’ve grafted.
But also? Your brain had a head start — and it wasn’t only yours.
Welcome to the neural reality of meritocracy:
It’s not a level playing field — it’s a well-worn neural track.
And some of us had smoother tarmac, better signage, and fewer potholes from day one.

The Vicious Circle of Bias
At BARDO we talk a lot about bias in the brain — because it’s true: most bias starts as a shortcut in the brain’s predictive machinery. Your brain is trying to save time, keep you safe, and not explode under the weight of 11 million bits of information per second (yes, that’s how much data you’re subconsciously processing, according to researchers like Timothy Wilson at UVA).
