Critical Thinking Unversity League Tables
All of the skill universities are meant to be teaching students on full display on their front lawns and they call in politicians and law enforcement rather than celebrating their students.

Think time to perform efficiently
One of the ways we perform more effectively and efficiently is to press pause. To allow ourselves to passively think about what we desire to create - to do - to answer. To do tasks in our mind and body before we ever sit down to do them!
Hence we think best while we move, while we experience in a different way - not at a computer screen!
