We each have a duty to think before we speak.


What does the world look like if people don't take the time to think before they speak? Oh wait, that's the world we live in already. And the results are bemoaned, debated and endured.


But what is duty, really? And what does "thinking" actually entail? And what are we really doing, when we speak?


In many ways, in this episode, we cut to the heart of the hidden power, our hidden power - our capability to set a tone, to make our appearance something joyous, or something terrible.


Talking points:


"Duty," "Think," "Speak" - what do they really mean?


Context in challenges to environment, democracy and truth


Speech after WW2, individualism, where we are now


Simplistic thinking and authoritarian speech


How does this help us? What a measured response can do for you.


Andrew Mitchell on what we are really doing with language


We are "creating" - whether we like it or not


Right or wrong? The pleasures of being wrong
