I have been engaged in thoughts about freedom of thought, original thinking, whether individual thinking really does exist.

It seems to me that so many many people elect not to use their heads. Maybe they have been taught not to? Maybe they find it scary or bothersome? But many seem to - choose? - to close their heads and feel instead, or they focus on daily chores, or on entertainment instead.

However, if no one could think freely -whatever that means - would anything ever change?

So who does, and why? Who do not, and why?


How do you define freedom of thinking? And is freedom of thought a necessity for free will? If I am right and many people do not think, does that mean that they do not have much freedom of choice??

Would be very interested in your thoughts :-)
