Most people don't think enough. A great many people operate at a level not much above instinct, never thinking through the long term consequences of their decisions and actions and words, consequences that effect both themselves and others. If people thought more, we'd have a lot fewer kids dying from binge drinking and a drastic decrease in driving fatalities, particularly those related to drunk driving. We'd have a lot less intolerance for those who are different from us. We'd have fewer people getting in problems with debt from credit cards and overspending on luxuries. We'd have less of a culture of competition where sporting programs at many schools are more highly valued than academics and looking better than and having more than others is how we value our worth as people.
