And usually they don't have to. Government, media and peer pressure will think for them.

I'm the opposite 😆😂

'Cause thinking (and it's benefits) is proof of work. People just want to avoid work.

Humans are fascinating to watch. Besides the plenty being lazy and stupid, I was surprised most by how many don't want to be responsible to for what they do up to the point they just try to avoid doing much at all.....

The brain is about 2% of body weight yet consumes around 20% of resting energy, and that consumption barely changes whether you are solving differential equations or staring at a wall. A habit of not thinking is easier to understand when the organ doing it is that expensive.

Remain relentless

The mans got a point

The claim spreads because it flatters every reader into the minority who thinks. A more testable version: thinking is metabolically expensive, so brains run on cached defaults until the cost of error exceeds the cost of attention. Not laziness so much as good energy economics.

You mean they just trust and not verify?

Can u explain how much HYPOCRITE is Jimmy ?

It’s a feature, not a bug. From my reading and work as a teacher, this is the way. Thinking is effortful and not productive to what we need. Most of what we need to think about is secondary to our wiring. That means it needs to be taught/encouraged in a way that is gratifying. Happy to keep ch...

Incentive don’t have to be money. An incentive could be Laziness, safety and no accountability. I think this is why most people don’t want to think: similar result, with little risk, effort and responsibilities.
