Thinking 101, Launch

Something wonderful is happening.

Today’s the day about 30 of us begin experimenting with the Thinking 101 program materials.

As I’ve written away on this and then produced the 11 audio tracks (Big Thanks to Bre Wolfe who helped voice these), I’ve realized how basic the need is for learning how to think. In case you read that and disagree, let me pose this question: How many people have front and center in there lives (in a way that affects how they think) this simple principle:

Life is sacred.

Pick a war, any war. Pick a murder. Abuse. Horror movies. Rascism. Stalking. I could fill the page with examples that demonstrate the Utter Lack of any sense of sacredness.

So, my approach for helping with our mental health crisis is to start way upstream with the fundamental cause: we never learned how to think properly. And that makes us all crazy! If you want to confirm that, just look at how we treat the environment, and each other. “Crazy” is the only way to describe it. No other creature fouls their own nest the way we do.

Of course, we can escape to Mars, right? Or A.I. will solve all our problems for us.

The purpose of my experiment is to gather feedback on the materials so anyone can play. The 30 or so of us who are registered will do our thing… you’re welcome to drop in and play with the materials on your own, they can be found here:

My long term goal is to help get material like this into the school system so kids can begin to learn how to think from day one of their education.

Thanks for your help in building towards that!
