"Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so." - Bertrand Russell
As
you may know, I put that great Russell witticism in Chapter 3 of The Art of Amazement, along with a parallel quote from Thomas Jefferson.
Today's first question for your table is a simple one: Why do we hate thinking?

Question #2 - What is fundamentally missing from this article?
(I have tried to write a comment but keep getting a "technical error" - so if you'd like to hear my own critique, send an email.)
Shabbat Shalom
