Thought for the day
I saw this interesting article on intellectual humility; but there is a nice section on a single trait is not sufficient to be a good thinker.
My thought for the day is: is it important to you to be a "good thinker".
Interesting indeed. Article pitches the need to be a good thinker as a generic need, which I think misses the point. The need to be a good thinker is, I think, essential but highly situational - but I expect it's a practised skill, so there's no harm in applying it in 'non essential' areas. Maybe that then runs the risk of overthinking everything. But then maybe I'm overthinking that.
I'm convinced that a lot of overthinking is just practice.
I mean, so what if I have a plan for the zombie invasion? I also have a plan for a gas explosion in the kitchen, and the one informs the other!
