A musing
October 4, 2010 1 Comment
I think that our understanding of human thought is oft rather premature. Right now, I am watching a show staring a character who’s a “telepath”; he is able to repeat people’s thoughts to them as they are speaking them––in total synchronicity. But this concept is falacious. It presumes an idea of thinking that says that we form our own thought before we beging to speak––but this is not so! Often it is the case that the thought does not continue the process of completing itself until we being to speak it.
A musing to muse about. I’m not concerned about the show––though its a fantastic one for instigating thought––but the conceptual understanding of how we think. I don’t believe we begin to think until we are on the path of thinking. I don’t think we can being to conclude until our conclusions are in process. And to conclude?––ha! what is that!––perhaps not even until we being the question of what a conclusion even means.
Upon re-reading what I just wrote, I must say that i love how my writing so often seems to jump and leap from one nuance to another. But really! they are all connected. Promise.
