When I play chess I usually move too fast. The last game I played I moved slow. Thinking works. A computer analysis of my game had no complaints. It was a perfect game. Checkmate in 17 moves.
What is true in chess is true for life. It's important to think. People are constantly having to make decisions. If they don't think or don't think long enough, there can be problems much worse than getting killed in chess.
Update:
My next chess game was against a grandmaster in Brisbane, Australia. Thinking didn't work this time. He killed me. I'm going to study the computer analysis and maybe learn something.
By the way, I play chess at https://lichess.org/ which is totally free, zero ads. Millionaires and other people help pay the bills.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
