Thought Combinations: Progressive Nature of Thinking

[Erus]

Perhaps this isn't the right Forum for such topic, but it does fall under some philosophy.

Your brain thinks not all at once but in a progressive nature where you cannot possibly consider all thoughts at once of a subject or any multiple subjects. I believe it is a combination progression, and this how thought builds. To put it into an example,

Say you were in the middle of a discussion and something comes to your head to say. What put it there? I believe this is a combination of multiple concepts/thoughts that 'connect the dots' over the subject. It's like your brain is constantly searching for a thought. Now, this would lead to progression of a thought just like Newton or Einstein.. Putting 1 and 1 together = 2. 2 then = 1 and it repeats itself from the new perspective/thought. It's a building progression of combinations. It is simply random until put into context. That is why you cannot think everything at once.

Read psychology 101 text. Theta consciousness concepts discuss this subject. Read a Damasio latest book. Spinoza is in the title.

I find this topic very interesting and I agree that it falls under the realm of philosophy. The concept of thought combinations and the progressive nature of thinking is a fascinating one to explore. It speaks to the complexity of the human mind and how our thoughts are not just a single, linear process, but a constant interplay of various ideas and concepts.

I also agree with your example of how thoughts can come to us in the middle of a discussion. It's almost as if our brain is constantly searching and connecting different dots to form a complete thought. And as you mentioned, this process is not always conscious or deliberate, it can also be random until we give it context.

I believe this concept also ties into the idea of creativity and innovation. Often, breakthrough ideas come from combining existing thoughts and concepts in new and unique ways. This shows the power and potential of thought combinations and the progressive nature of our thinking.

In terms of philosophy, this topic could also lead to discussions about the nature of reality and how our thoughts shape our perception of it. It could also tie into the concept of free will and whether our thoughts are truly our own or influenced by external factors.

Overall, I think this is a thought-provoking topic and I appreciate you bringing it up for discussion. It definitely adds another layer to our understanding of the human mind and the complexity of thought.
