Straight fire: I love the idea of a “Thinking Crisis.” That’s a great framing, and I really like how you focused in on the key assumption: ‘if we can repeat it we can assume it.’ Very succinct, and as you say ‘just because you can repeat something it does not meant that is the only way we can think about it.’ ‘The result is a situation where data eliminates thinking altogether […] even if experimental psychology can repeat something that does not mean we are thinking the thing.’ Amazingly, and the case for the need to incorporate the subject (‘the psyche as involved in such procedures’) is beautifully made.
