#EasyThinking - Twitter Hashtag

over 1 year ago

Beware of painless #EasyThinking. Resist cognitive comfort of #LazyThinking. Acknowledge daily risks of #EffortlessThinking. #MakeItOrBreakIt decision-critical thinking is vital for successful decision-making and difference-making. Aim for #HigherOrderThinking’s #System2Thinking.

#TrainTheBrain to #TrainTheMind—and vice versa. A #HealthyMind must do whatever it can to strengthen its host #brain. #BrainHealth supports #MentalHealth. Learning and using #metacognition skills elevates ways of thinking to meaningfully exercise the brain and its dependent mind.

Please don’t miss clicking this free “gift link” to read a valuable article in @nytimes that uncovers both societal and deeply personal risks that so-called “good looks” can hide. Resist #EasyThinking. #EffortfulThinking’s needed—especially if you humbly call yourself attractive.

The double-edge sword of what forensic psychologists call the “halo effect” prompted my immediate related post seen below this article’s “subscriber gift link”—from me to you (for paywall-free access). Attractiveness shields neediness. Psychological combustion and physical deterioration are hidden behind genetics, calisthenics, and cosmetics. The paradoxically concurrent conscious or unconscious feelings of vulnerability and invincibility of someone with “good looks” can be overlooked by similarly attractive—or less than attractive—psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, coaches, school counselors, and others who may unconsciously envy the distracting appealing appearance of someone whose halo they are paid to ignore in order to look behind mental, physical, and material masks. —JRDjr Then there’s “…the tendency of the public to equate innocence with attractiveness, the halo effect when combined with the social bandit phenomenon creates a combustible pop-culture archetype…” “You get the thirsty, soft-focus take on the criminal and the bloody revolutionary.” —NYT Click for more revelatory insights from @nytimes about ways outside good looks can camouflage pathological risks of the ticking time bombs we trust on our streets—and in seats of political and corporate power. https://t.co/66DqqIqkuB

Use #System2Thinking during difficult discussions. #Rethink learned WAYS (plural) to think instead of HOW to think (singular). #Metacognition's semantics guide thinking beyond high-risk default #EasyThinking toward much safer #EffortfulThinking. Aim for #BestEffortThinking (BET).
