Andrew Arthur Lehti
This biography was generated by AI based on an analysis of Andrew Lehti’s published works and writings.
Andrew Lehti is an independent researcher with a keen interest in cognitive science, education, and human behavior. His recent works, including Cognitive Impasse and the Puppet Master of Society: A Framework of Mental Rigidity (2024), The Cycle of Inferiority and Superiority: From Imposition to Projection and Self-Perpetuation (2024), and The Canonical Order of Operations: A Separate Index Law Framework (2024), offer thoughtful explorations of the human mind, societal structures, and the biases that influence decision-making and perception.
Lehti’s unconventional upbringing and early resistance to formal education shaped his curiosity about human cognition and societal systems. From an early age, he developed a strong inclination for problem-solving, questioning established norms, and exploring new ideas. His journey reflects a commitment to understanding complex issues through persistence and self-directed learning.
Personal experiences with societal rigidity motivated Lehti to investigate how systems shape individual thought and behavior. His critiques of education systems—rooted in structures from antiquity—led to the development of theories such as Selective-Mindedness, which examines how individuals resist ideas outside their ideological frameworks despite believing they are open-minded. Related concepts, such as the Cognitive Impasse, explore the challenges of overcoming learned biases.
As a self-taught researcher, Lehti combines rigorous inquiry with imaginative exploration. He often works outside traditional academic paradigms, employing experimental and interdisciplinary approaches to uncover fresh perspectives on human cognition. His research addresses topics like cognitive inertia, the Semmelweis Reflex, and the influence of historical paradigms on contemporary beliefs. Through these studies, he aims to challenge entrenched assumptions and reveal opportunities for intellectual growth.
Lehti's work also engages with deeply human questions, such as the role of humor in grief, the art of compromise in polarized societies, and the dual nature of cognitive patterns as both empowering and restrictive. His writings encourage reflection and advocate for replacing outdated frameworks with approaches that promote intellectual flexibility and creativity.
Andrew Lehti’s research underscores the need for an education system that fosters curiosity, adaptability, and innovation rather than relying solely on traditional methods. By questioning established norms, he seeks to inspire a more open-minded and resilient society capable of addressing the challenges of an ever-changing world.

Papers by Andrew Arthur Lehti
By analyzing the 1545 Luther Bible in comparison with its 1912 revision and other contemporaneous translations, the study reveals how shifts in linguistic meaning over time may have reframed the moral and theological implications of these scriptures. The findings illuminate the profound influence of historical linguistic context on biblical interpretation and advocate for a thoughtful reconsideration of long-held views on scriptural condemnations pertaining to sexuality.
As a result, these individuals may resort to any measure—whether through self-deception or external manipulation—to uphold their self-perception of infallibility. Such actions stem from a long-standing, internalized fear, one fostered by an educational paradigm that equated academic failure or poor grades with life failure. This paradigm has, in essence, conditioned them to equate imperfection with severe consequences, thereby creating a sense of existential threat in situations where they might otherwise admit fault or error.
The educational model established in the 4th century CE has passed down learned behaviors and cognitive biases across generations spanning nearly two millennia. This system has become self-perpetuating, reinforcing rigid thinking patterns that hinder intellectual growth and adaptability. This paper examines the stages of response to challenging information, the concept of cognitive inertia, and various cognitive biases—including the Galileo Fallacy—that contribute to a cognitive impasse. By understanding and identifying these patterns, individuals can cultivate self-awareness and overcome these constraints to foster intellectual expansion.
On the other hand, conjective thinking is inward-focused, with a strong reliance on personal experience and internal reflection. Rather than reaching out to connect with others' emotions or experiences directly, conjective thinkers use their internal knowledge and past experiences as a framework to interpret and understand the world. This type of thinking emphasizes the importance of synthesizing personal insights with external observations, but the external world is always filtered through the lens of the self.
Pseudology, defined as the creative and experimental study of established fields through unconventional, speculative methods, encourages exploration beyond the rigid boundaries of traditional disciplines. Unlike pseudoscience, which may mislead or distort scientific understanding, pseudology is driven by intellectual curiosity and is not intended to replace scientific rigor but to expand it through imaginative thinking.
The term "pseudo" in pharmacology, as seen in compounds like pseudoephedrine, similarly denotes a subtle variation or analog of a more familiar substance—one that mimics certain effects but is distinct in structure or function. This nuanced use of "pseudo" reflects how pseudology operates: it draws from established knowledge but purposefully veers off course to explore new perspectives, much like a pseudologist creatively reimagines the boundaries of knowledge in fields such as science, technology, and the arts. By embracing experimental frameworks, pseudology challenges existing paradigms and opens new pathways for intellectual and creative inquiry, offering fertile ground for future scientific and artistic exploration.
Just as astronomy solidified itself as a science distinct from astrology, pseudology aims not to undermine established knowledge but to complement it with innovative, alternative perspectives.

“If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn’t be called research, would it?” — Albert Einstein.
The one bias I believe he had was the fallacy that light has a speed due to his childhood fantasy of chasing light beams in his dreams. Electromagnetic waves have a speed as they are one force constantly fighting to go separate directions. Hence why they are massless and why they have a slow speed compared to the instant hyper-positional photon. You can check my framework of the universe for my mathematics of light, and one of my other 90+ articles about the universe for more information.
Simply put. We have images of every angle of every known galaxy. One would expect a trapezoid or inconsistency since galaxies at angles would have light that would be 100,000 years out of order. This does not exist. It also would not be possible for light to reach us given the inverse square law of radiation and disbursement within a vacuum.
