“The people I listen to need to talk, because that’s how people think.  People need to think.  Otherwise they wander blindly into pits.  When people think, they simulate the world, and plan how to act in it.  If they do a good job of simulating, they can figure out what stupid things they shouldn’t do.  Then they can not do them.  Then they don’t have to suffer the consequences.  That’s the purpose of thinking.” ~ Jordan Peterson, via 12 Rules for Life (Page 240)
