Nine weeks to go. 

Happy New Year. Happy New Decade. Make it a good one.

295. "With enough effort you'll be able to connect anything with anything else from the past. I'm not sure that's always a good thing." (A Great)

296. The Art and Science of Catching up;
or
Hardest to learn is what we refuse to know.

297. Timeless knowledge. How does it make it to be that?

298. "How do you know, unless you look?"

299. Independent thinking—full honesty in thought can only exist when your livelihood & lifestyle are independent from relying on not thinking on your own & you're free from having to parrot what others ask you to say.

300. Learn. Never assume.

301. Nobody, but yourself.

Two hundred and ninety four days in the project #CriticalThinking in 365 concepts

Forty two weeks. Only ten weeks left to go. 

288. Embrace chaos. Make it your thinking friend.

289. Who am I? Who are we, humankind? What are we doing here? Why?

290. Business class exercise.

291. Take stock. Often. Act to improve. Repeat. "Higher and faster, Daddy!" (obviously a child is on a swing too young to push herself)

292. Violated <-> Elated => Action 
(December 22, 2019, Omaha Nebraska, USA)

293. There is always only one competitor of meaning: you of tomorrow vis-a-vis you of today. Make the competition count. 

294. Interconnectedness

Ask away any questions you may have. Merry Christmas. Read no. 295 to see how it is so important that today I can say that without fear.

Two hundred and eighty seven days in the project #CriticalThinking in 365 concepts

Forty one weeks in our year long endeavor. 

Once again, busy with #SaveYatesForOmaha, preparing upcoming university courses, research, and a few other projects we've let the timing of the posting of the index suffer a little. It's here and up to date now. 

281. Get involved. The world is run by those who show up. 

282. Inertia—We stagnate. [...] Unless all people are thinking. 

283. Basic arithmetic. Use it. Every minute of every day. 

284. Act, don't brag. Under the radar if you must. 

285. Never give up. Fight for and cherish freedom to think. 

286. Stand up and speak your mind. Inspire others to do the same.

287. Assets. Ownership. Collateral. UCC 9 Secured Transformations.

Enjoy rehashing the last week and recognize we're past two thirds of our journey. Where did the time go? I guess time always flies when we're having fun.

Two hundred and eighty days in the project #CriticalThinking in 365 concepts

Last week we completed 40 weeks in our year long endeavor. We do live interesting times. 

274. You. Buricul pămîntului. [The Center of the Universe.]

275. Believe in yourself and your objectively valid position no matter what. Future may thank you for it. Even if they may forget your actual name. 

276. Start. Fight procrastination with the brain's own ancient tools.

277. Questions to ask: Who and why would close down something that works?

278. Hardest thing is thinking and writing and speaking persuasively opposite your beliefs. Do it anyway!

279. "Always choose the right tool for the task." (A Great.)

280. As people pass away so does their thinking. Or lack thereof.

Two hundred and seventy three days in the project #CriticalThinking in 365 concepts

This was last week, when we finished week 39. We've been very busy with #SaveYatesForOmaha and a few other ongoing projects taking first priority and thus the index of last week had to wait a week or so. Here it is, now:

267. Thank you!

268. Pioneer

269. Respect for one another 

270. Cherish help. Seek it. Nurture it. Respond to it in kind. Pass it on.

271. The trouble with thinking is that it's like an early Bugatti. "Once you get it to its incredible speed, how do you stop it?" (cca. 1909)

272. Beware majority

273. Calling

Our course is getting more and more in depth and it requires more and more detailed work from readers, aka learners. Remember I'm always available to help with a thought or analytical path or question you have and draft answer y'all are considering. Just email me and we'll schedule a live face to face conversation via Skype etc. 

Thank you!
