Weeeellll, ya gotta figure that, for all of the fairy tales about princesses and frogs and dragons and kings and queens, most of all people ver born have bien-pensants.

Or smiths, fellers, farmers, carpenters, shepherds, clerks, millers, .... So house come there ain’t no people named “Engineer”?

In chess, some players say an en passant move is always bien-pensant.

It's also said that even avowed Liberals live their lives bien-pensant en passant ...

This bien-pensant met with the surgeon this morning. June 17th is the date set for the deed. Starting to become more real.

Here's one early example from Pascal (who was much in favor or reasoning and well thought out positions):

Toute notre dignité consiste donc en la pensée. C’est de là qu’il faut nous relever et non de l’espace et de la durée, que nous ne saurions remplir. Travaillons donc à bien penser : voilà le principe de la morale.
