I Think Therfore I Write

I like thinking thoughts and writing is the best way to find out if what you are thinking is crap. The premise is that if I can express it in a logical way then it is a good thought.

I find it is easy to convince myself of something without considering all the holes in the idea. It is called the Dopeler effect; the faster you come up with an idea the more likely it is wrong. Expressing something in words forces you to put the hand break on and fill in the detail. If you can’t put together a cohesive argument in text give it up, even better, sometimes you find a greater truth along the way.

As I write this I am thinking of a thousand ways in which my original point is wrong but this only convinces me that the thought was correct. Strange, I don’t think I have ever used a circular negative to prove a point before. Interesting…….
