Most of us never question how we learned to think, much less how that learning limits our ability to foresee the consequences of our actions. Yet, this invisible "thinking accent” (shaped by culture, experience, and neglected cognitive development) is steering humanity toward crisis.
In Time Blind Book Four: The Development of Temporal Thought, Jack Alpert digs deeper into the mechanics behind temporal blindness — our collective failure to integrate time into decision-making. With the rigor and urgency, Alpert examines how our environments have stunted the development of temporal inference, the very ability to connect present behaviors to their long-term outcomes.
Why do we continue to act in ways that undermine our future well-being? Why can’t knowledge alone change behavior? Through models, analogies, and thought experiments, Alpert uncovers the missing components of how we learn to think and how we can prevent the cognitive damage before it takes root in the next generation.
This fourth volume in the Time Blind series focuses on offering a blueprint for learning environments that foster “temporal sight,” and a path toward a civilization that can think ahead before it’s too late.
