      First Thoughts are the everyday thoughts. Everyone has those.

      Second Thoughts are the thoughts you think about the way you think. People who enjoy thinking have those.

      Third Thoughts are thoughts that watch the world and think all by themselves. They’re rare, and often troublesome. Listening to them is part of witchcraft.

        Even without attribution or ever reading this quote before, I just knew it had to be Sir Terry Pratchett and I was right.

        That man was unmatchable in his wit and wisdom and how he packaged life lessons on simply being good people into entertaining stories. The world is lesser without him.

                You absolutely should, assuming that you are a nerd it’s IMO his best book. I have a lovely hard cover edition.

                  I’ve heard good things about the whole industrialization arc. I’ll binge it eventually like I did with the city watch, Rincewind, Death, and witches arcs.

      Imagine being an NT person and just bumping into one topic after another like a moth, I’d much rather know how I got to wherever I ended up. 😅

        I’m NT, and “thinking about thinking” is how my brain works. A lot of “normal” brains do, but there’s a HUGE spectrum of how introspective people are.
