I think the one problem about this train of thoughts is that it makes people overly willing to accept any kind of solution, as fast as possible, because what could be more important than protecting our children. It makes people completely ignore or dismiss the potential problems this will create down the line, especially because we tend to be good at ignoring things that do not affect us yet. This whole thing feels both rushed and extremely short sighted.

> First, "slow-thinking" is really just a different way of expressing your thinking and you should begin by leaning into it rather than leaning away. Take time, allow yourself to pause to collect your thoughts. People often interpret quietness (not filler) as intelligence and maturity (because usually it is). Alternatively not answering is also valid.

From experience, it doesn't work, especially in a group setting. People usually end up trying to guess what you want to say, or add on to what they said, or move on, or something. But they very rarely just wait patiently for me to think things through.
