Top Tweets for #LowerOrderThinking
This is a shot across the bow of anyone ignoring this #MemorialDay’s clarion call for #Sys2Thinking’s #HigherOrderThinking (HOT)—to combat #Sys1Thinking’s #LowerOrderThinking (LOT).
In any democratic nation, a small-minded #ThinkerInChief’s ‘lot of LOT’ puts at risk fought-for freedom.
For #CitizenThinkers and #ElectedThinkers to deny autocratic threats to any republic’s core freedoms is dangerously naïve.
These humble thinkings I wrote in a first draft of a talk I was to give to a group of state legislators—#ElectedThinkers. The February 2025 speaking engagement was indefinitely postponed, so I left raw and unedited these thinking triggers I intended to think through and extemporaneously build upon with the group’s input:
“We’re called to learn to learn mighty metacognition skills—so we can courageously ‘think to think’ to live to live forever free for coveted freed learning, thinking, and living.
Threats to our blood-freed rights—to master metacognitive thinking—are an egocentric autocrat’s evil and greedy thoughts and other actions away.”
“The Thinker’s Thinker Next Door” is the working title for my delayed talk.
Your thinkings, please?

Metacognition also works retrospectively. In the context of these posts, mistakenly such insights and guesswork would be called, “20/20 hindsight.”
During #MemorialDayWeekend 2025, we honor fallen heroes of every war by rethinking roots of past, present, and future thinking.
@grok offers perspective from its mechanized approximation of human metacognitive sensitivity:
“The X post by John R Dallas Jr references a @nytimes article suggesting that the KGB, during the Soviet Union's collapse in the late 1980s, may have planted fake Brazilian birth certificates for future Russian spies, showcasing a strategic long-term espionage tactic known as ‘deep-cover’ operations.
• This article’s premise aligns with historical Russian espionage culture, which, as noted in Shaun Walker’s book ‘The Illegals,’ emphasizes meticulous training of spies to blend into foreign societies over decades, a practice dating back to the Soviet Union's founding under Lenin.
• Dallas critiques U.S. post-WWII triumphalism, arguing that celebrating victories like the Soviet Union's fall ignored the persistent threat of espionage, a perspective supported by the FBI’s 10-year surveillance of Russian agents, which revealed their limited effectiveness due to a defector’s tip.” —#Grok3
#RussianAggression is partly fueled by historical American triumphalism.
Please read and think again and again and again about that sentence.
Is it far-fetched thinking to imagine Putin’s anticipation of Trump’s victory laps causing Russia-Ukraine negotiations to veer off course—and keeping missiles flying, bombs exploding, weapons firing, and innocents dying?
Before taking any hubristic victory laps, leaders of any so-called victorious nation must “think to thinkingly think” about historically patient revenge of “the losers.”
Every war’s victory stings everyone—eventually.
Keep watch for victory’s vicissitude.
To think a bit deeper, note the metacognition map pins I stuck in the previous post. You’ll note suspected origins of today’s evidence of evil’s rebirth for each example I offered.
Continually aiming toward better best-effort thinking (BET) is among ways to lastingly honor those whose thinking was stopped by warfare.

With today’s tragic news from @CityOfNOLA and myriad atrocities on the globe’s other battlefronts combatting #LowerOrderThinking, wishing any #ThinkerDoer a “happy” #NewYear is illogical, unrealistic, and shortsighted.
Say, #HealthyNewYear!
#ThinkIt. Say it. Do it!
#ThinkItSo.
“Happy” isn’t my “word of voice” to welcome each #NewYear. “Healthy” #NewYear2025 echos long in my mind. #Happiness as a quest short-circuits thinkers eager for deeper results. Ephemeral—yet very valuable—moments of joy, satisfaction, and pleasure strengthen our minds and bodies.
The “old rules of mastery don’t work anymore,” @thegrahamcooke generalizes below. The “ancient rules of metacognition” will always work, I theorize. Let’s all think deeper, wider, and higher about #HigherOrderThinking—to #ThinkAgain about low-to-high risks of #LowerOrderThinking.
After spending Christmas with three generations of my family... I realized we're giving our kids the wrong advice about success.
The old rules of mastery don't work anymore.
Here's what our children actually need to know about the future:
Brilliantly, @shaneparrish illustrates ways #HigherOrderThinking unblocks #IntellectualHumility’s #SelfEsteem.
In stealth ways often less direct than I post, #SelfAwareness messages prompt us to engage in #metacognition’s rethinking.
#LowerOrderThinking anchors #LowSelfEsteem.
Stop fighting your nature. Start winning with it.
#LowPropensityThinkers (LPTs) are unfamiliar with or unused to #HigherOrderThinking (HOT) skills. For decision-making they default to #LowerOrderThinking (LOT). Decision-critical HOT #metacognition is required for #voting. LPTs “cast their LOT”—if and when they cast their #votes.
#LowerOrderThinking, #ShallowThinking, and #LazyThinking are not wrong per se. Yet, these modes of thinking — without much thinking — are rarely enough. #PreDecisionMetacognition (#PDM) is #metathinking to ensure you are choosing your best-learned #thinking skills and #mindsets.
Overthinking does not help you find a solution but, on the contrary, it drags you on a path with no destination. Be guided by facts instead of assumptions.
