[August 14, 2022] The reason we think is so that the world does not crush us. According to those who study animals, it is believed that animals think by moving. The problem with thinking by moving is that when you make the wrong move, you’re dead. Human beings can generate fictional images of themselves in a fictional world and essentially run through possibilities of behavior. The images that are killed (or harmed and such), the human does not express as a behavior.
“Without free speech, there is no true thought.” – Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
Someone once said that the reason that we think is so that our thoughts can die instead of us. And that is really an intelligent observation. If you think properly, you kill off the ideas that would kill you (or cause suffering to you or the people around you) if you implemented them.
We need clarity of thought because that helps guide us through a world shrouded in fog and full of sharp objects. If you don’t want to stumble into them, you must display clarity of thought and vision. This is why it is so important to learn to write. If we can learn to write, then we can also learn to think, and we learn to think so that the world does not treat us as harshly.
Anyone who has been around knows that someone who can sharpen their arguments properly and can articulate their position and defend it are always the people who are the most successful, compelling, inspiring, and fruitful. There is nothing more powerful than a person who can think clearly.

Please read my new book, “Our Longest Year in Iraq,” on Amazon (link here).
“YES”, I can think independently. Not because i am different to anyone else out there but because we humans have been given the magic of chaos inside our heads.

One of my favorite quotes!
Hey guys, I just bought Gen. Satterfield’s book, “Our Longest Year in Iraq,” and starting reading it two days ago. Love it. Get your copy. No, I don’t get a commission. Just a recommendation.

Me took, Jonathan. Got my copy and the best book on my desk.
Best book of 2021. Get your copy today. I know, I sound like a commercial. I’m just trying to help get the word out that our media greatly distorted what was happening in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their politics stinks because it runs counter to the American dream and our values.
Gen. Satterfield surely has made this website for what it is…. about leadership and about making yourself better. That is why I keep reading it and sending his articles out to my friends and family. His main points are always the same or alludes to the same. Tell the truth. Adopt responsibility. Be a good man, not a nice man.
Cheers my mates from the States. You may be having a tough time but we are worse off. Keep the faith.
Sad that crazies are in control. Their egos are so big, they will one day soon start to trip over it and no one will be there to pick up the pieces.
Excellent article. Made me think?
Yes, hmmmm, good thing that I can think!
That’s why we have good women helping protect the strong and tough folks (mostly men) who are willing to stand against evil and not perpetuate it.
When women subvert and deny their traditional roles to be the family guardian, the world starts to fall apart. We can do anything reasonably, but rejecting our roles to be the center of the family is destroying the west.
Excellent point American Girl. 😊
True enough, we are doing enough. That’s a fact. We women are rolling over and letting the crazies take over. Now the most important “women” in American are men.
Thank you, all women … ✔✔✔✔✔
