The End of Thinking?
0 - Default Title
Description
We all feel entitled to our opinion. In today's world of social media, hot takes, and 24-hour news cycles, expressing what we believe - on politics, vaccines, parenting, or religion - feels like a right we must exercise. Everyone wants to be heard, and, perhaps even more, everyone loves to be right. But how often do we stop to examine not just what we think, but how we think?
Mark Stephens invites us into that deeper reflection. Through topics like the 'idiot brain', the history of lobotomies, the delicate difference between confidence and certainty, and the shifting nature of what we call 'facts', Stephens challenges us to explore our own intellectual habits.
He introduces the idea of intellectual hospitality: making space for opposing views, listening generously, and being open to growth. It's not about abandoning strong convictions, but about holding them with humility.
So, do we think only for ourselves, or also for the good of others?
