Lazy. Thinking is hard work.

"IBM headquarters at Endicott, New York, 1935. Note the “THINK” motto emblazoned on the building. Pictured are 25 female college graduates, newly trained for three months as IBM system service women. Their role: after assignment to IBM branch offices, they assisted salesmen in assessing customer requirements and training customers on the use of IBM equipment. Their three male instructors are also pictured."

"Thinking is hard, and most of us do not spend enough time doing it. At my advanced age and despite an active curiosity in earlier years, I still find myself formulating questions about all matter of things which I had never questioned before."

So true. What’s tough about thinking is that it often takes time. As you wrote, most great thinkers have to let ideas sit and simmer for a while. That’s hard to do when you want the answers quickly — as we often do!

Ginny, I totally agree. As a great thinker myself I do sit and simmer to the point my gray matter drys out.
If I'm fortunate my wife will come along with her watering can and revive me. Her timing is not all that good, however. I have wondered if her delay was intentional.
Many times I find myself behind on a FReeQ thread after a simmer. Thankfully, there usually is much talent on the thread already who have already come to the correct answer, as I had already imagined. Hard to believe, but true. They are that good.
