WHAT THINKING IS
What thinking is: thinking means recognising what something is like. In your mind you have a picture of what the thing is like, that picture you call the model, it is as near alike the real thing as ever possible for you: with emotions, senses, all your experience just picture the thing in question in your mind. The charachteristics of that model are charachteristics which you find in some form in the real world. Try to get them all right.
In abstract thinking you try to deduce based on that model something more about what the world is like: either that thing or something else. That happens by examining the charachteristics of the model and trying to understand the thing/the world based on them. For example physical information is like this: from seeing snow you know from your own experience that it will melt in warmth. That is another observation which is backed up by our deductions about the structure of matter. We know that it applies everywhere because nooone has ever said something else and all our own observations back it up. So with your knowledge and ability to notice characteristics (like: this is snow) you will be able to deduce what the world is like more at large.
THE ATMOSPHERE OF THINKING
The atmosphere of thinking is that of sensed observations and of handiwork. The book likedness comes from the use of memory. It is an error, something to do away with, since good use of memory is connected to the sensitivity to atmospheres etc which are a good quality to recognize things with. The organisation of memory should also have an atmosphere like doing handyworks.
The atmosphere of thinking should also reflect the emotional motivation to thinking and the emotions aroused by thinking: they offer the meaninfulness of thinking to human life.
The point in thinking is to be sensitive to how things are, so the atmosphere of a thinker is that of sensitive observations of how things are.
THINKING AS A MECHANICAL GAME
Using one single picture of the world, with each thing generalised as far as is possible, go through each deduction point/step, forming a picture of the subquestion, adding it to the wider one with its all generalisations each to its correct place in the picture of the whole - generally this means each to its correct subpicture of the whole, i.e. to the one handling those special questions.
This is something alike to doing easy handiworks: block by block adding things to the picture to be a part of its structure from there on, following lines=generalisations all the way, making the additions and precautions needed,...
These require an ability to make correct objective observations and to get the memory to work well. A really good practical observation gives a clear picture of the situation from where you can see the parts but which isn't unnaturally divided into parts. It makes the end result of thinking block like, mechanical in appearance since it is so solid, trustworthy. The different observations appear as steps in the deduction: nothing to matter much after the end result has been reached but good for checking: natural divisions in the world.
Make also markings about the quality of your thought: like, here was a generalisation which I didn't bother to make because I was so interested in something else, I will be able to do it later, propably in such and such circumstances, propably I will then bother. Now I will do something else.
Also if something appears more difficult than what you have thought to begin with, mark what kind of difficulty there is and mark it to all such questions - that should be automatical if you think by classifications: one of these didn't succeed, because... Typically they succeed, because...
But if you have already handled the question erraneously, you have to make a correction, and make the correction to the generalisations too. For example, even if you do not do any errors, you may have quessed wrongly the degree of difficulty of some yet unhandled question.
Make many precations indeed. Those ensure that you do not do any errors in important matters: the more the more thorough precautions the more important, central the question is. This helps you to get the labour done divided more according to how the importance of points is divided.
WORDS
Words are used only for communication. It is our picture of the world which we refer to, which gives us our understanding of what the communication really refers to. Like this there is no confusion about divisions that concern just some side of the thing in question; like an individual and packs that one belongs to according to one's instincts and needs.
FINDING WORDS AND PHRACES (AND THOUGHTS from the memory)
Look at the landscape or the point that you want to describe: what are its main features, characterize those by their atmosphere, colour, shape, feeling etc. Use your memory of words, expressions or thoughts like you use your eyes when you want to find from a landscape all spots of certain colour or shape or the like. Just fit each found item to your landscape to see if it describes well enough what you want to express. Choose the best one.
So, starting from the main features, you get the whole thing described well enough. Also analogs can be found by this way.
Like this one can also find solutions which lead toward good (Good is the atmosphere criterion by which you choose the solution attempts). One can also choose types of thoughts by their atmosphere etc.: mechanizations, feelings, certain type of grounds. Use very concrete fact associations like in the picture about fact associations.
HOW TO MAKE GOOD WIN
The atmosphere tells what kind of thing it is a question of. Find the beginning of a solution based on pleasing kind of atmosphere - not the average atmosphere of your thoughts (realisticality) but by your wishes'. The Gaia model quarantees that you will find grounds for your solution. A holistic view recommends good moral. Get to know the thinking of the Green movement.
1. atmosphere
2. the thing described by the atmosphere
3. the scientifical structure of that thing:
a) the ideal situation (Gaia)
b) realistical situation, a basic situation (like a peaceful country instead of Gaia)
c) roads which lead toward those (forces, developments, for example optimizing)
Allegiancies: similarities, similar interests, similar situation;
already existing solutions
If you have problems in applying my advice, use:
* your sense of health
* a holistic view
* common sense
ONE WAY OF HOW TO MAKE GOOD WIN
Use your common sense: find an analogious every day situation in which you know the solution. Reformulate that solution on the language of your present problem in order to see if it is a working solution for that too.
For example: 1) it doesn't make sense to break too much, breaking is unbenefical and harmful.
2) healthy one works best - among other things better than a tortured or forced one.
GOOD WINS OVER EVIL
When there is some problematic situation, a danger of big evil, in order to protect good, seek where are the fractures caused by the evil thing, what gets broken, what's the use of those things which the evil side loses but the good ones have. Use the biological picturte of humans and human societies in that: the evolution optimized living beings, societies and Gaia toward best survival: best capacity plus long term sustainability. Use a picture like the diagram about each kind of situation. The presence of artificialities doesn't change the picture's natural parts.
Hopefully that difference in power is enough to make good win. At least it is enough to make it meaningful to support just good.
Good is by nature of allying kind, evil of a betraying kind and so a loner in a discuise. So in a fight there should be the group against a single evil one and not just one good one against the one evil one.
Evil cannot be a norm in a society since evil consists of breaking and that is against the good of the society: so a society with a moral norm instead would be that amount more prosperous.
