Do you find it quite interesting that when you join different groups or industry associations that they often offer seminars teaching you how to do things better and how to think in such a way to provide yourself with a greater chance of accomplishing your objectives or goals in that endeavor? Personally, if you are teaching people to think and then you tell them exactly how to think then you are really indoctrinating them into your way of thinking. Of course they think they are thinking but they aren't, not really.Recently I read that The Futurists Society had special classes to help you think like a futurist. In fact, they even have suggestions on what you should read to help you think like A Futurist. Unfortunately if you really consider what is going on here they are helping you with a selective reading list and telling you how to think after reading it and therefore you end up coming to the same conclusion that they do. But that isn't thinking, no that is indoctrination into a way of thinking and reasoning, which means your conclusion will be the same as theirs.Perhaps you not see the problem with this, but if we are to teach humans how to think then we cannot tell them how to think, what to think about or what conclusions they should come to after they are completed in the thinking process. If everyone uses the same stats, stages and methods to come to the same conclusions by scanning basically the same material over and over again then unfortunately this is very similar to the linear thought process which goes on in the academia world. I find it quite dangerous and I have a real problem with the perhaps you might consider all this in 2006 and come up with your own conclusion.Lance Winslow, a retired entrepreneur, adventurer, modern day philosopher and perpetual tourist.
