Top Tweets for #ThinkerInChief
Three cheers for @jamestalarico!!!
Are you spreading the news?
His win has layers of value for each #CitizenThinker who pauses to think about their thinking regarding a relatively unknown #ElectedThinker pushing through—to rise above the #ThinkerInChief’s bullying and blocking.
Congratulations to James Talarico, an #ElectedThinker who clearly demonstrates his learned and practiced ways to think with higher-order thorough thinking (HOTT).
His win in Texas is a win for HOTT that’s a HOTT win for the nation.
Lower-order thinking (LOT) isn’t HOTT enough for this era’s thinking challenges.
Click below to read paywall-free access to @nytimes coverage of @jamestalarico’s win for the mind, heart, and soul of Texas. Excerpt:
“James Talarico, a 36-year-old state legislator who was a virtual unknown only months ago, won the Democratic nomination for Senate in Texas, according to The Associated Press, as his party’s voters put their faith in him to pursue an elusive decades-long goal of turning the state blue.
On the Republican side, national party leaders bought a May runoff election for Senator John Cornyn of Texas, for the price of at least $70 million.
The results in Texas—final for the Democrats, interim for the Republicans—set up a bruising election year in one of the nation’s biggest and most politically complex states.” —@nytpolitics
Will #JamesTalarico’s “reformed and always reforming” Scottish-Presbyterian faith-centric—n.b., not “faith-based” in simplicity’s dogmatism-inflexible context—inform other candidates struggling with ways to use a moral compass to reach higher ground?
#Talarico’s intellectual curiosity, humility, courage, rigor, adaptability, and generosity are in plain sight for #CitizenThinkers to study “out loud.”
#StudyOutLoud what it means to think about a candidate’s thinking.
Make metacognition a manta for your “voting life” ahead.
Write a metacognition manifesto to discuss among fellow thinker-doers.
The #TalaricoforTexas movement is a ThinkToThink™ campaign for all thinkers who think at least a bit deeper than purely emotionally—before and while they vote.
In November 2026, will the intellectually suppressed U.S. become the #ThinkingNation of thinker-doers our #FoundingThinkers envisioned in 1776?
Candidate #Talarico’s “groundedness in thinkingness”—for strengthening his “doingness”—is a metacognition map for other candidates and voters to follow to their best-effort thinking (BET).
“Bet on your BET.”
Groundedness is a state of mental, emotional, and physical stability, characterized by inner strength, presence, and a realistic, unpretentious perspective.
Groundedness enables individuals to manage life's highs and lows without being overwhelmed, fostering enduring success rather than fleeting, frenetic, or burnout-inducing ambition.
Groundedness is the ground under the “fleet” of #Talarico’s #ThinkToThink™ thinkingness.
For @TeamTalaricoHQ’s win against the sin of lower-order thinking (LOT), thanks be to all named higher powers of the faithful and the faithless—even if the thinker’s only “higher authority” is their own logic.
Pause. Applaud @jamestalarico!
Wisely, courageously, and patiently—
Come to think of it.™

Thinking about thinking?
AI has thinker-doers thinking about artificial thinking.
Geopolitical cauldrons of warped thinking have #CitizenThinkers questioning indefensible thinking of top-most #ElectedThinkers, particularly the U.S. #ThinkerInChief.
#StrategicThinking is vital!
“The Great Reset” is the title for multiple books and publications. @Richard_Florida’s valuable version triggered @EnclaveAcademy’s #TheThinkReset™ Program—launching 4 July 2025.
#CitizenThinkers, #ElectedThinkers, and the elected #ThinkerInChief are morally obligated to reset thinking about thinking—i.e., use their learned metacognition skills—to ethically aim toward intellectually rigorous and defensible best-effort thinking (BET).
“The #HigherThinker of all—whomever or whatever she, he, it may be—will ultimately judge humans and our machines for the quality and quantity of the thoroughness of our thinkingness.” So sayeth Enclavius, the apocryphal Patron Sage for Enclavians metacognitively microlearning with Enclave Academy.
Are you freely smiling at least a wee bit? Smiles are needed.
😉
@grok freely thinks:
“The X post by John R. Dallas Jr. introduces ‘The Think Reset™,’ a year-long microlearning program by Enclave Academy starting July 4, 2025, coinciding with the U.S. Sestercentennial—marking 250 years since the Declaration of Independence in 1776—and aims to explore ‘freed thinking’ amid perceived threats to freedoms like press and expression.
Enclave Academy, a not-for-profit focused on behavioral psychology and metacognition, will examine 12 principles from the Declaration, such as unalienable rights and the right to alter government, to address modern cognitive biases and rethinking methods in a world increasingly influenced by AI and political shifts, like recent events in South Korea and the Netherlands.
• Dallas highlights global political unrest, referencing South Korea’s historical protests (e.g., Jeon Tae-il’s 1970 self-immolation sparking labor movements) and the Netherlands’ recent political tides, framing ‘The Think Reset™’ as a response to declining free thinking, urging a reevaluation of foundational democratic ideals.” —#Grok3
Come to think of it.™
Do you hear wheels turning in the minds of the best thinkers in international think tanks and local coffee shops? The USA's Founding Thinkers are turning in their graves.
Political turns of events are turning tides in the Netherlands, South Korea, and elsewhere.
Are you turning over in your mind new ways to think and rethink ways to think things through thoroughly?
These are trying turning times.
The U.S Sestercentennial will honor 250 years since the signing of what @EnclaveAcademy calls, "The Declaration of Independent Metacognition."
Smiles aside, on 4 July 2025, @EnclaveAcademy will begin #TheThinkReset™, a year-long microlearning focus on curated highlights of fundamental "free thinking about freed thinking" within The Declaration of Independence of 1776.
Why? "Freed thinking" is at risk.
From threats to Freedom of the Press to impediments to freedom to express, "We the Thinkers" aren't quite as free to think freely as we thought we were.
"Free thinking about freed thinking" will be explored in these thinking fundamentals within The Declaration:
1. Equality of All People
2. Unalienable Rights
3. Rights are Endowed by the Creator
4. Purpose of Government
5. Consent of the Governed
6. Right to Alter or Abolish Government
7. Prudence in Changing Governments
8. Duty to Overthrow Tyranny
9. List of Grievances
10. Appeal to a Candid World
11. Assertion of Independence
12. Mutual Pledge and Sacrifice
Keep your mind's ear to the ground as The Think Reset™ Microlearning Program begins its 12-month run.
Come to think of it.™

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?
https://t.co/vl2Y0CIFOG
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.

From @grok’s mouth to voter ears.
Critical thinking for #CitizenThinkers—and #ElectedThinkers (particularly the #ThinkerInChief and his #CabinetThinkers)—is the baseline way of thinking about thinking (#metacognition) needed to cognitively strengthen the US republic’s democracy.
As @grok interpreted and extrapolated my previous post:
“Susan Crawford’s victory over Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1, 2025, maintained the court’s 4-3 liberal majority, despite Elon Musk’s $25 million in support for Schimel, marking a significant test of Musk’s political influence.
• The election, the most expensive judicial race in U.S. history with over $80 million spent, will impact upcoming court decisions on abortion, labor rights, and congressional district maps in Wisconsin.
• John R Dallas Jr’s post highlights voter resistance to manipulative tactics like groupthink and doublespeak, reflecting a broader trend of critical thinking in elections…”
#Grok3 gets it. Now it’s up to us.
Contemplative is the 16th #ThinkerInChief’s most frequent pose in minds of scholars—and #TV show-runners. #AbrahamLincoln’s assassination no longer overshadows the timeless value of studying evidence of his #ThinkerDoer mastery of #metacognition skills. https://t.co/ZaubChdMNg
It’s unwise of any modern scholar to limit to today’s cultural norms #Lincoln’s brilliance and its documented and suspected manifestations. His #rethinking informs today’s #rethinkers about #metacognition’s roles in psychological and emotional development. https://t.co/ZaubChdMNg
The Psychologist President @EnclaveAcademy calls #AbrahamLincoln. Scholars and fictionalizers may forever remain deeply fascinated by the 16th #ThinkerInChief’s thinking about #thinking. Able #AbeLincoln’s #metacognition skills are explored in countless works of fact and fiction.
Lincoln Metacognition 101 is an @EnclaveAcademy microlearning module about ways healthy and agile brains—and their #ThinkerDoer minds—discern metacognitive value in #depression’s regret, remorse, and rumination. This illuminating thread from @thetoddjacob offers related insights.
Whenever I post inherently imperfect perspective related to the #cognitive competency of incoming #ElectedThinkers, #AppointedThinkers, and the #ThinkerInChief, I aim to sharpen thinking-about-thinking skills—i.e., #metacognition’s mechanics—of #CitizenThinkers, including my own!
The #AggregateThinking of U.S. #CitizenThinkers “thinks into office” #ElectedThinkers, particularly the #ThinkerInChief. As this year began, we recommitted to do whatever we could to ignite, encourage, and facilitate deeper, wider, and #HigherOrderThinking about #System2Thinking.
In 2024, let's resolve to clear from minds any cobwebs from the worst of the #COVID era. We need to #ThinkToThink™ sharp to navigate myriad cognitive challenges between now and US #InaugurationDay2025. With #CriticalThinking's basics, we'll strengthen #BestEffortThinking (BET).
Have a think. Have a long #ThinkOnIt. Let’s all “have a serious think” about troubling thinking—and unbridled biases—of this #Presidential election’s cognitively impaired candidate cajoling to be #ThinkerInChief. Many stalwart fans know SOMETHING IS WRONG! https://t.co/1fsXgY63so
#JohnAdams was a thinker’s thinker, a master of #TheScottishEnlightenment’s metacognition.
In 2024, #CitizenThinkers wonder what this nation’s #FoundingThinkers might say about today’s #ThinkingSkills of #ElectedThinkers—especially every #ThinkerInChief since #GeorgeWashington.
Let’s hear more hearingly and think more thinkingly before #ElectionDay2024. We each must use our #BestEffortThinking (“BET”). We bet on our own BET. With each #vote, we bet on the BET of candidates to be #ElectedThinkers—especially decision-critical votes for US #ThinkerInChief.
Let light into your #thinking. Don’t block it.
#FearOfThinking (#FoT) and #BrainPain avoidance (#BPA) unconsciously cause our brains to forestall becoming brighter.
As #AI’s incursion quickens, minds must learn to leap over obstacles to #System2Thinking’s #metacognition skills.
#Politics per se is not my plea. This page is about modeling and illustrating fact-checkable defensible “thinking’s thinking” (i.e., #metacognition) related to both candidates to be #ThinkerInChief—your, my, and their skills with #MetacognitiveRegulation.

“At a @Univision town hall on Wednesday, a voter asked Mr. Trump whether, given the mounting evidence of #ClimateChange, he still believed it was a hoax. He started to boast about his administration’s climate record, but then he took a few detours...”

#DanielKahneman’s #System2Thinking offers #CitizenVoters ways to “rethink their thinking about thinking”—before voting for the US #ThinkerInChief. The thinking skills of #voters determine which #ElectedThinker’s thinking will prevail in the #SituationRoom. https://t.co/er6WLlsaaM
The #brain’s discomfort (pain) that’s often felt during #ResponsibleThinking may be among reasons for the less-than-responsible thinking being displayed by #CitizenThinkers, candidates to be #ElectedThinkers—e.g., #ThinkerInChief—and less than responsible organizational #leaders.

As publisher of the official transcriptional records for the 1976, '80, and '84 #PresidentialDebates—and #VicePresidentialDebates—I take seriously the #thinking of candidates to be #ElectedThinkers, especially #ThinkerInChief. Hear a bit o' #TruthInHumor. https://t.co/jHu5biJwhl
"We the #CitizenThinkers..."
Trust, please, my #apolitical objective for flagging the mission-criticality of voters assessing #CognitiveCompetency of any party's candidate to be #ThinkerInChief. For #ElectedThinkers, #vote for #ClearThinking minds with #IntellectualHumility.
The @nytimes asks clever questions that point toward the adaptive #metacognition of @KamalaHarris. Ultimately, is @VP an agile and reliable #ElectedThinker? Read evidence of her accretive #MetacognitiveKnowledge and strengthened #MetacognitiveRegulation.
https://t.co/AzQJIikO97
Imagine @KamalaHarris thinking with her #ThinkingPartners as she thinks through thoroughly her choice for a #Veep #ThinkMate. Will @SecretaryPete become #VPete? In this #AI era, #CitizenThinkers want an A+ #ElectedThinker—to think with the #ThinkerInChief. https://t.co/Cy8A41Oc8C
“We the #CitizenThinkers…”
We are to prioritize strengthening our own nonpartisan #ThinkingSkills as we assess #ThinkingCompetencies of candidates to be #ElectedThinkers—especially for #ThinkerInChief.
#PartisanBiases are #CognitiveBiases we navigate.

For #CitizenThinkers and their #ElectedThinkers, having a #HealthyEgo is vital. An unhealthy, out-of-control, and narcissistic #ego may be attention-arresting and entertaining—yet such #immaturity is dangerous in #leaders, especially for candidates to be the U.S. #ThinkerInChief.
For #ElectedThinkers—particularly #ThinkerInChief—we #CitizenThinkers must assess each candidate’s #IntellectualCapacity (IC) more than #IQ.
#IC is the ability to #learn, #think, plan, and execute with discipline—and to understand input to organize and process complex problems.
