What it practises
- Deep reflection & analysis: Slowing down: weighing evidence, spotting weak arguments and explaining why something worked.
- Strategy & teamwork: Managing resources, weighing risk and coordinating computer-controlled teammates — all single-player.
Fast games can crowd out slow thinking, so this skill uses untimed games and written reflection.
Quick lesson: Weighing values
Many hard choices are hard because two good things pull against each other, such as honesty and loyalty, or fairness and kindness. Thinking it through means naming the values, and seeing who each choice affects.
Check question
Your friend asks you to keep a small secret from a teacher. Which two values pull against each other?
- Speed and size
- Loyalty and honesty
- Money and time
- Colour and shape
Answer: Loyalty and honesty. Keeping the secret is loyal; telling the teacher is honest.
