Habitual Thinking

Also known as: Let’s not bother with thinking at all, shall we?

Habitual thinking is what happens when the brain stops asking questions and just runs whatever script it used yesterday.
And the day before.
And the day before that.

It’s not thinking.
It’s mental muscle memory — like making tea and forgetting if you’ve already boiled the kettle.

Literalism

For People Who Think Metaphors Are a Type of Cheese.

Literalism is what happens when someone takes every word at face value, like their brain was built by a committee of pedantic robots with no imagination.

Say “I’m dying of boredom,” and the literalist looks concerned and starts Googling symptoms.

Judaism

Judaism is a rich, ancient tradition rooted in covenant, responsibility, and ethical living. At its core, it teaches that humans are partners with the divine in repairing the world — a concept known as tikkun olam.
