A profound truth almost forgotten today: Our brains are optimized for survival and efficiency, not thinking.
- Thinking is hard.
- Thinking takes time.
Outsourcing thinking to technology is the easier way. The one most of us chose and that social media and the Internet favor. This explains the rise of "woke" and cultural identity.
True thinking is a skill you can acquire, not a property of the mind.
Why do it then?
Because it frees your mind and gives access to deeper truths beyond the fast food ones offered by politics, religion and society.
What's at the end of this road?
What about a better, stronger worldview? One not made of half digested truths but the ones you reached yourself.
Then, there's meta-thinking. Observing yourself in the act of thinking. Understanding that how you think constructs your worldview because it decides which answers are accessible to you...
