This is our capstone episode in our series on how to think better -- although it might not be the last. We have talked about the necessity of realizing that there is such a thing as Truth. Today, we will talk about the necessity of aligning with, pursuing the Truth, even loving the TRUTH.

I have made some argument that I hope and expect that non-believers will understand. Of course, I use some words of Jesus. I don't assume that everyone who listens is already a Christian believer. I do think they will understand, if they are just patient with my explanations aimed at those who don't already know Biblical language.

This is really vitally important, but overlooked in the discussion of how to think better, and how to tell what is truth. And that discussion is often overlooked for students with learning disabilities. Look, what is true and false, what is good and bad is not some esoteric subject that only graduate philosophy students can grasp. It is just that they know how important it is, and have language as well as motivation. This is an important subject to all people -- if they want to have successful, happy, good lives. So, let's not overlook it. Let's directly teach it, especially to students who maybe don't get it as quickly simply because they are immersed in the tedious aspect of academics!

And surely, if children are not "getting it" then it is time to directly teach it.
