Manifesto

I think thinking is better than champagne, dark chocolate and raspberries.
I think religion and politics purposefully muddy the waters of thinking.
I think humans should pay more attention to thinking than shopping.
I think there is a universal mind. I think all things are connected.
I think having an original thought is as good as it gets.
I think wisdom should have more value than wealth.
I think self-control is the most important discipline.
I think a good think is a great way to pass the time.
I think that only through thinking will we evolve.
I think happiness is the best habit.
I think the art is in the thinking.
I think therefore I become.
I think therefore I create.

That is what I thought in 2010.
Today I think pretty much the same.

Except I am all out of fairy dust.

I no longer think we become what we think.
I think we become what we are rewarded for.
I think we are rewarded not to think, but to repeat.
Not to discover but to memorize. Not to innovate but to imitate.
To allow others to think for us. Today we become what others think.

The time is ripe for a revolution of the self-governed, purposeful mind.
A revolution as gentle and inexorable as the rising tide.
The weapons of the purposeful are courage, tolerance, determination, perseverance,
honesty, and self-control. As our tolerance and courage grows, we will discover that all who govern their own minds have the goal of harmony.

In 2022 I still think all the above is true, but know now that our collective thoughts are shaping our future
whether we are aware of this or not. I know that we will change nothing if we do not question our minds.
I enter my wise age today and give myself another thirty productive years. The time that is left to me will be a single-minded pursuit of enabling this global change in thinking. I cannot force you to do the same. You may think it is impossible for all of humanity to change their minds, to answer I quote Cooper;

No. It is necessary.
