Polish term or phrase: myśleć zerojedynkowo
Prosiłbym o pomoc w przetłumaczeniu tego określenia.

Zerojedynkowe myślenie to nadmierne upraszczanie, popadanie w skrajności i niedostrzeganie tego, co jest po środku. Myśląc zerojedynkowo zazwyczaj trudno jest zachować zdrowy rozsądek i znaleźć złoty środek – w końcu nawet najlepsze lekarstwo w nadmiarze może zaszkodzić. Z tego odcinka dowiesz się czym jest dychotomia myślenia i dlaczego nie warto ograniczać się tylko do skrajności.

"Dlaczego ludzie myślą zerojedynkowo?
Niby jesteśmy analogowi, ale często myślimy zero-jedynkowo
Jakiś czas temu pisałem o szybkiej ocenie, zachęcam do zapoznania się z tym wpisem. Tymczasem przedstawię kilka sytuacji, w niektórych nawet sam uczestniczyłem.

Kiedyś, na klasycznym męskim spotkaniu, oceniając jakąś laskę stwierdziłem, że jest za chuda (faktycznie była wręcz patyczakiem). Kolega z niedowierzaniem zapytał, czy mi się podobają grube. Nie, dlaczego? Lubię takie zwykłe, średnie, z lekkimi zaokrągleniami. Innym razem powiedziałem, że mi się nie podoba jakaś blondyna. Od razu usłyszałem pytanie, czy lubię czarne. Hmm... Tak się składa, że kolorów włosów jest dużo więcej a ja nie mam pod tym względem żadnych preferencji. Po prostu raziła mnie gruba warstwa tynku na twarzy.

Reference: Binary thinking,

Reference information:
...by definition, is thinking there are two sides, and you can only pick one. Also known as dichotomous thinking, this way of thinking becomes simple for us to process complex ideas and situations. The gray area in the middle of these complex issues is often ignored or goes unnoticed.
