Lincoln guides the listener through their first and most important task in a world-changing mission: namely, to learn how to think straight (and teach straight thinking) and combat the insurgence of crooked thinking in our culture and in our world today.

The listener progresses from how we have become "crooked thinkers" to how to break out of this prison of the mind (which is enslaving us) to become instruments of change for a better world by recognizing from where our value as humans is derived.
