'Thinking' is a fascinating subject at WUaS, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Thinking - both in developing World University and School and more widely, in the context of the information age, when there's so much far-reaching thinking happening already (e.g. blogs, academic papers and research on the web, development of databases, etc). How to focus this subject further, and generatively, as distinct from, say, philosophy - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Philosophy? (Per Nelms' book below, how would a book entitled "Thinking with a computer" read?)
