"Where all think alike, no one thinks very much." - Walter Lippman How much of what you believe, associate with, and repeat is from the thinking and refrains of others or the group? How much is from your own clear observation and thought?
One could say that the purpose of life is to be happy. But in a great irony, doing the easy thing and doing things that are fun all the time will not make you happy in the long run. People who seek short-term pleasures to make them happy will always…
Taking care of yourself is important. If everyone did it well, we'd have a much better world because many people wouldn't need so much help. So the first and best thing you can do for the world is to take care of yourself. But we are made for much more…
Everything you say yes to, you say no to something else. Some things are valuable and/or fulfilling, and many things aren't. It's your choice. What will you say yes to today?

I hate to say this, but I’m shocked at the fact that thinking for yourself seems to be a lost art in our world these days. I question the survival of mankind should our worldwide tech crash.

We’ll be going to NYC to see Hamilton with our granddaughters. Looking forward to making some good memories.
2500 mile off road motorcycle ride. Nothing better for good memories, good friends, motorcycles gorgeous scenery!!
Humans display many cognitive biases that make them follow and repeat the crowd. It comes from the evolutionary desire and need to fit in to optimize chances of survival. These biases lead to “groupthink,” where the consensus decisions are irrational out of a desire to please the ingroup.
“Doing your own thinking” is critical to good decision-making, but what information are you thinking about? What is the framework of your thinking? Humans use heuristics, mental shortcuts, for thinking about things – and often do not follow valid rules of inference. This leads to a long list of common logical fallacies. To produce the best results from your own thinking, it’s best to use a scientific framework and be aware of your own cognitive biases — otherwise, you may come up with some whacky nonsense.
