Learn how to think

Kadizzle has acquired a Youtube addiction.  The amount of knowledge now available on Youtube is incredible.  Kadizzle just in the last week has started watching some professor in Illinois.  The teacher is excellent about explaining things.  Kadizzle has learned about radiation, and several other topics from him.  This morning Kadizzle watched the professor explain the economics of solar power.  After watching it hit Kadizzle that this guy knows how to think.  Unfortunately thinking involves a lot of math, something Kadizzle is not that good at.  However, there is more to thinking than meets the eye.  That is why Republicans get so easily confused.  Back to the guy on solar power.  Too many times people set out on a thinking conquest, but fail to see the big picture.  Solar power cost involve the big picture.  Germany installs solar power for about half the cost we do.  Why?  That is the big picture.

In the process of thinking there are always hidden cost, and hidden parts of the problem you can overlook.  A good thinker roots out these things.  That get's us to the "What if?".   What if is important, but you can rapidly get stuck with too much what if.  Another major lesson in thinking is " Things are not always as they appear".   To Republicans Trump appears as a savior, to thinking people he is a mentally ill idiot.

Now Kadizzle is considering posting the professor lecturing on solar power.  If you watch the video, don't think so much about the subject, but think about how the professor explains it.
