Another Attribute of Good Thinking

Good thinking is based on assumptions that are explored and validated. Recheck your assumptions to test for changes in conditions. Bad assumptions are dangerous!

Many of us assumed that Covid-19 could be contained. Many of us assumed that Covid-19 would not affect young people. Some of us assumed that Covid-19 would respond to malaria medicine. Oops!

Let the science speak. It may not be perfect, but it’s better than political opinion.
