Pre-Thought Processors
Pre-Thought Processors, or PTPs, are mental tools designed to influence thoughts, reactions, emotions, and behaviors before older automatic patterns fully take over.
In simple terms:
A PTP attempts to interrupt automatic processing early enough to create a little more awareness, intentionality, and conscious choice.
Most people already use subconscious mental patterns every day — often without realizing it.

JonJonHuman Alignment Check
A Simple Question That Interrupts Automatic Behavior One mental tool I have used repeatedly over the years is a very simple question: “Is this something a decent human being would do?” Simple question. But surprisingly powerful. Because many times I have asked myself this question: * during hesitation * during resistance * during
