Can You Actually Think

“Most people think that they are thinking when all they are doing is rearranging prejudices.” -William James

Ask yourself “What is something I believe to be true that I dislike?”. Maybe it’s easier to think of it visually, if you drew a Venn Diagram of “things that are true” and “things that I like” would it simply be a circle? Do you possess the reasoning ability to identify which of your views are dogma vs backed by data?

If I’m being honest, these are the questions that keep me up at night.
