We Listened Twice.
I like the interview, however, I learned nothing new but I was paying attention all these decades, so there's that. However, I think many people if they're concerned, may achieve some clarity.

@Marshall Sutherland (Posting with Hubzilla) that's a fair point. I've also been observing, that many people, think that reading a book is some kind of a race to the finish. Many, simply rush through all the books that they read and then, when quizzed by anyone familiar with the materials read, the readers come up lacking, since they rushed past pertinent details.
Books, are there to be read multiple times since there are many points, details and hints, that are overlooked, through casual reading. It is the very reason why many people take notes, so that they may have reminders which may be revisited and revised when necessary. I think the greater point is, that many people go through their lives skimming over the details and never quite understanding the situations around them.

They wait for their favorite influences to tell them what the "next big thing" is and which opinion they should have about it. "Which flag should I fly this month?"

@Marshall Sutherland (Posting with Hubzilla) so in essence, they're delegating their thinking, then? I know such people, indeed, they themselves, think themselves, some of the most wise. I don't see it myself, but I'm a sceptic and a cynic, by nature.
I love doing my own thinking though, since doing so, may indeed, stave off atrophy. That's my rationale anyway. I think, that thinking and shifting the different possibilities of any focused topic, or subject, may be one of my favorite pastimes. The thought of having someone else or indeed, something else taking over that duty, is an uncomfortable one, one bordering on paralysis.

They don't need to understand when they have people around who always tell them what is goodthink.

@kuchinster thank you @kuchinster I totally forgot to like @Rogue Runner's comment and if you hadn't done so, I would still be negligent. Thanks again.
