Abstract

“Drowning in cereal” is a metaphor for living and working in a world that is filled with distractions and information overload, a world in which the ability to set goals and stick to them is more important than ever. When it is known that the only way to stop the cereal was to get Daniel to return to the clock even though he was terrified to do so, the committee (Lady Aberlin and Neighbor Aber) took on the challenge by engaging in critical thinking to come up with a solution that dealt with both the technical issue (floating through the distracting cereal) and the emotional issue (Daniel’s fear). Recall that one of the techniques that spur critical thinking is the acknowledgment of our need for the knowledge that resides in the minds of others. The three friends who work together to solve the problem have created a brain trust that provided reliable, trustworthy information and support.
