How Not To Think, Correctly! (Excerpt from the White Swan book) By Andres Agostini at www.linkedin.com/in/andresagostini

1.- Ignorant Thinking

3.- Fashionable Thinking

4.- Within-style Thinking

5.- Ideal-based rational.

6.- Instant-gratification thought process.

7.- Non-Gestalt Thinking.

8.- Lumpen Thinking. (Lumpen is a nice word, extremely manipulated by Commies. Ergo, anything stemming from Commies I reject).

9.- Non-Crowd-Wisdom Thinking. (No one played Albert’s violin and theories, nor Amadeus’ piano, nor Howard’s gigantic wooden aquatic-airplane or communication’s satellites, nor Newton’s unpublished prophecies, but them, and them alone, in in-companionship-ed solitude).

10.- Clustered Thinking.

11.- Silo Thinking.

12.- Charter Thinking.

13.- Standard Thinking.

14.- Informal Thinking.

15.- Undocumented Thinking.

17.- Bohemian Thinking.

18.- Hippie Thinking.

19.- “…Keep It Simple, Stupid…” (K.I.S.S.) Thinking.

20.- Short-term Thinking.

21.- Linear Thinking.

22.- Extra-Mile Thinking (We need several Extra-Leagues Thinking. A league is 3 miles or 4.8 kilometers).

23.- Single-mindedness Thinking (Against in-series thinking).

24.- Un-Orchestrated Thinking.

25.- Fragmented, Fragmentary Thinking.

26.- Futilitifulness Thinking. (Futilitifulness is the quality of conforming to maximum futility).

27.- Démodé Thinking.

28.- Typical Thinking.

29.- Passé Thinking.

30.- Within-Range Thinking.

31.- Chaku-Chaku Thinking.

32.- Spaghetti-like Thinking.

33.- Episodic Thinking.

34.- Management-fads Thinking.

35.- Leadership-focused Thinking.

36.- Popular Thinking.

37.- Crowded Thinking.
