"Three things about humans – we think, talk, and do. Talking and doing are easy... But you see thinking? That’s where the line is drawn between gods and mere mortals... They say, “great minds think alike”. I disagree. Great minds think. Period. " - Rodney
In this episode, Rodney shares his thoughts about thinking. He thinks that half of our problems stem from being unable to think for ourselves, by ourselves. He also thinks real thinkers are a dying breed -- and he blames our education system because it is set up to teach us WHAT to think, not HOW to think. From that point forward, Rodney unpacks the levels to thinking, the difference between a freethinker and an independent thinker, what makes a beautiful mind, over-reliance on logic, and the dream of getting paid for the quality of your thoughts. He gets especially critical about critical thinking -- the ultimate thinking ability.
Rodney, as always, gets personal about his journey -- reminiscing about his high school and university days and how they shaped his thinking ability, as well as the challenges he faced as a freethinker himself. In his unique way, Rodney waxes lyrical about the gift of thinking and why we should never take it for granted.
