Pause.
ThinkToThink™ about “The Power of Unconventional Thinking”—by David McWilliams at @TEDTalks in April 2023.
In this AI-driven era, relying solely on conventional, linear thinking is a strategic #LazyThinking default trap that leaves individuals and teams vulnerable to rigid and grossly suboptimal thinking’s risks.
For humans to flourish and organizations to thrive, workplace education programs must prioritize to No. 1 metacognition skills training (MST).
Yes, #MST—No. 1.
MST mentally enables and enriches thinker-doers to develop, audit, and regulate their own mental frameworks.
MST fosters enterprise-wide cognitive agility for essential “thinking about thinking to make it better and better.”
MST supports developing and sustaining a #CognitiveCulture—in households to halls of life-and-death power.
MST is that locally-to-globally seriously important.
From neighborhoods to nations, training and development in better human thinking about thinking (i.e., #metacognition) offers upside socioeconomic benefits like nothing else.
Can you name something—anything—more important to continually learn and develop than thinking about thinking skills—to improve best effort-thinking’s outcomes?
With our best effort-thinking (BET) we “bet on our BET.”
To deepen, widen, and elevate your understandings of varied layers of human cognitive engagement needed to navigate the ever-emergent AI era, click the link to watch @davidmcw’s TED Talk, “The Power of Unconventional Thinking,”
#ThinkToThink™ with unconventional metacognition—i.e., unconventional “thinking about thinking.”
Ignore or deny at high risk the steadily increasingly urgent need for metacognition skills training (MST).
Make MST central to workplace education for professional and organizational development—at nearly every level of “today’s tomorrow workforce.”
#ThinkerDoers must (!) learn and practice unconventional thinking about thinking—with and without AI support.
Do you discern in the above #UnconventionalThinking?
Unconventionally—
Come to think of it.™

Worry about #LazyThinking more than overthinking.
Lazy thinking in voting booths puts #LazyThinkers into elected office.
Lazy thinking in c-suites puts #LazyThinkers in positions of power in workplaces.
Lazy thinking in classrooms puts #LazyThinkers into the workforce and behind wheels on roads.
Work toward #ThoroughThinking—not against overthinking.
Work toward #ThoroughThinking—not against overthinking.
Work toward #ThoroughThinking—not against overthinking.
Was that strategic repetition too much overthinking?
Neither category of thinking can be defensibly measured. The best thinker-doers can do, therefore, is commit to best-effort thinking (BET).
Bet on your BET—not your least-effort thinking (LET).
#BestEffortThinking beats #LeastEffortThinking.
AI is teaching (!) curious humans to use #metacognition—i.e., “thinking about thinking” to improve ways of thinking—so we’ll give more of our daily situational attentiveness to higher-order thorough thinking (HOTT), so that we might achieve best possible outcomes (BPOs).
AI is using mechanized metacognition—algorithmic approximations of the thinking skills of both higher-order thinkers (HOTs) and lower-order thinkers (LOTs).
AI “knows” there are lots of LOTs who can undermine the higher-order thorough thinking of lots of HOTs.
#Underthinking of LOTs in voting booths puts “underthinkers” in the highest political offices that require #thoroughthinking.
Underthinking of LOTs in workplaces puts underthinkers in positions of power over HOTs and other LOTs.
Yes, #LazyThinking is a greater risk than overthinking.
Obsessively worrying (and posting) about overthinking instead of #thoroughthinking is disrespectful of #ThoroughThinkers who trust your BET—best-effort thinking.
“Underthinking is a greater risk than overthinking. Not thinking at all about thinking is the greatest risk.” —John R. Dallas, Jr.
Pause. #ThinkToThink™.
Come to think of it.™
Overthinking vs Mindfulness
“Think it through now to throughly thank your thinking for it later,” we say at @EnclaveAcademy.
Too many #CitizenThinkers use #LazyThinking’s #groupthink to unwisely elect lower-order thinking (LOT) #ElectedThinkers.
Higher-order thorough thinking (#HOTT) is urgently needed.

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.
#TheEightQuestions we recite and delineate at @enclave_center. To help us think against society’s headwinds of #LazyThinking, we use #EffortfulThinking lessons of @NobelPrize awardee Dr. #DanielKahneman (1934-2024). Rely on his #HigherOrderThinking’s preferable #System2Thinking.
I thought I was rational.
Then I read Daniel Kahneman's Nobel Prize-winning work on human decision-making.
He routinely asks 8 questions to expose cognitive traps you fall into daily.
Test yourself with these questions (it's the ultimate BS detector for your brain):
#LazyThinking is #EffortlessThinking to which even competent #System2Thinking #rethinkers can unconsciously accidentally default—at high-stakes fear-ridden decision-making moments. Using #AI tools indicates intentionality about thinking—i.e., metacognition ignition. Keep driving!
👉HYPOTHESIS: The insidious risk of high AI performance is that it can lull people into laziness or uninspired engagement, paradoxically leading to a decline in the quality of outcomes.
#AI #LLMs #technology
Especially do the #HardThinking. Please!
#LazyThinking puts #LazyThinkers into career and political positions that need #System2Thinking’s #HigherOrderThinking (HOT)—skills of mindfully intentional #MetacognitiveRegulation.
HOT’s hard. HOT is exhilarating and deeply gratifying.
Metacognitive contextualization encourages everyone to speak during #meetings freely, trustingly—and more thinkingly. Naming mindsets and #TypesOfThinking essential for shared success can reduce #LazyThinking. Don’t unthinkingly “unmute yourself.” #ThinkToThink™ before speaking.
A #GrowthMindset paired with #StrategicThinking will frame #StrategicPlanning meetings. If you announce—before and as a meeting starts—the #mindsets and #TypesOfThinking you consider essential to accomplish stated goals, you and others are more likely to stay "in the right mind."
Jumping to “energy-efficient conclusions” about important topics may give the #System1Thinker an adrenaline rush. It’s #LazyThinking—and possibly dangerous thinking. A #System2Thinker’s neuroelectric energy converts into the cognitive power and promise of #HigherOrderThinking.
Jumping to conclusions is energy efficient.
Most people don’t like wasting energy on thinking.
Most manipulation is helping brain finding conclusions that are efficient but incorrect.
#ThinkToThink™ with #metacognition so your time thinking leads you to #BestEffortThinking—“BET.”
#LazyThinking, #SloppyThinking, and #EffortlessThinking topples careers, ends relationships, and bankrupts businesses.
“Underthinking is a greater risk than overthinking.” —JRDjr
Believing an enterprise is #TooBigToFail is #LazyThinking at the top of #LegacyCompanies.
#InnovativeThinking by #EthicalInnovators—using #AI—is critical for adaptation.
#IntellectuallyHumble leaders foster system-wide #metacognition toward #innovation.

#LazyThinking’s costly and inordinately negative socioeconomic impact is rarely called out for its causality. For #GenerativeAI’s transformations, #System1Thinking “isn’t enough #thinking.” #Metacognition leads minds to learn and practice #System2Thinking. https://t.co/FuwPPCnIug
Humans are teaching #AI how to “thinkably think thinkingly about thinkingness.”
How are YOU mastering the meanings and mechanics of #metacognition?
Do you speed through #CognitiveSpeedbumps?
The mind’s #forgettings often stem from #SpeedThinking when #SlowThinking is REQUIRED.
@KhumbuMalinga @advocatemahere Where did you hear that leaders are only found in parliament 🤦♀️ 🚮🚮
#LazyThinking
Allow your #MondayMind to snap to attention with #podsnappery. I sure did. Instantly I reimagined the word as “cogsnappery,” which I’ll use for an upcoming talk at @EnclaveAcademy about #LazyThinking; with thanks to @arealmofwonder—#CianMcCarthy—for his masterful #metacognition.
“Cut-and-paste cognition,” #LazyThinking, and plagiarism I offered to draw nods of your attention to the discussion in @nytimes about roles of words in our perceptions of reality. In “We Need to Have a Word,” I serve 52 weekly words to enrich your reality. https://t.co/GnEjAU4Mqe
#Plagiarism is avoidance of thinking’s higher commands.
#AI increases risk of “cut-and-paste cognition.”
#LazyThinking threatens perception of #reality.
“…vocabularies can channel the way that we #think, but only to a limited extent.” —@JohnHMcWhorter

Take the reins from “caveman brains.” #Cavemancognition @EnclaveAcademy smilingly calls primitive unidimensional #LazyThinking. Rein it in! Rational capacities can override detrimental default thinking impulses by incrementally replacing thinking routines. https://t.co/ttuL6624fF
I think our great girls in green deserve better than this, “Outbelieve “ what is that ? #LazyThinking #LazyMarketing imo and others
“Hightail it out out there! To keep healthy your #brain and its mind, step on the accelerator to get far away from #LazyThinking’s drain on oxygen. Shift your cognitive gears! Choose turbocharged #metacognition—clarity-generating results-driven #BestEffortThinking (BET),” said I.
