How to use mindless in a sentence?

1. James W. Fulbright, March 27, 1964:

   We must dare to think "unthinkable" thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. We must learn to welcome and not to fear the voices of dissent. We must dare to think about "unthinkable things" because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.

2. Dejan Ilijevski:

   Technical and fundamental analysis is usually useless as a trading edge,[...] Mindless strategies like mean reversion work until they don't and you suffer a blowout. Fundamentals are priced in. And no one can predict tomorrow's news.

3. Michael K. Hooker:

   What I'm concerned about is the people who don't dwell on the meaninglessness of their lives, or the meaningfulness of it-who just pursue mindless entertainment.

4. Mark Bauerlein:

In their writing, they aren't much better. Let's be clear about every standardized test score and every survey of teachers and employers: the writing of students and younger workers is a mess.

5. William Fullbright:

   We must dare to think about unthinkable things because when things become unthinkable thinking stops and action becomes mindless.
