  Thanks! Have read Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”?

  The trick is to figure out a way that forces people to actually think about an issue. People hate thinking!

  But it’s really important for people to think about things. In case you haven’t noticed, a lot of things in the world are going in a bad way and too many people are on autopilot just quoting bullshit from the internet. Not good to let algorithms think for you.

      Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week. - George Bernard Shaw
