Just a thought?

Question

NO descartes please(he is not "I")
Although "I" may agree that the only thing that can be relied on is thought.
Unfortunately many take the thoughts of others and try to understand them. Where and what are YOUR thoughts? Every idea, it can be argued, is not YOUR own. Anyway, every thought,idea,concept, call it what you like, IS a thought,idea,concept, call it what you like. The thought of 'nothing' 'infinity' 'something' 'everything' are thoughts. Thought is all of these things- all of these things are thoughts. Surely if you do not doubt existence then you deny existence anyway. Thought exists-only thought exists. This cannot be refuted? But what is thought? Thought is "I". "I" am thought. P.S. No sollolppsssiismmsiiiissmmmmm please.

Confused- "I" think so.

MAGIME- I can't seem to transmit my thoughts to you? Maybe they are unclear? The subject is thought. Thought is the entity whether or not my own thought is an entity?

PURPLEPAR- You shouldn't turn them into words? That is where i go wrong? I like your thought.

NEHA-- "I" do not believe that abstract thoughts or ideas can be defined. They can be thought of. My definition of the concept of anything is not the same as yours? Therefore it cannot have A definition.

Answer 1

My thoughts on this question is as follows......

I tend to agree in principle what you appear to argue BUT then again is this just a YOUR thoughts and not really mine?

Answer 2

Where did these thoughts get the idea for the World?
Our interface with reality has it's limitations, both in the physical plane and the mimetic plane, where it stumbles over the black holes of infinity, zero, time paradoxes, causality assumptions, Cartesian navel gazing etc.
But just because it's not a better interface, there's no good reason to deny The World.
Thought cannot exist without a brain to think it, without some contact with reality.
I accept the existence of a plane of infinite ideals, but these principals are frozen things until they manifest.
The question of 'what is thought?' narrows down for me to trying to get my head around how a brain can produce that singular point of consciousness, the sense of I. Everything else in thought is data management, and the universe beyond more of the same.
We do construct a real time model of reality, a 'world of thoughts' and bugs are evident. But it co-exists beside the material one.
It's all typical continental fluffy headed 'thinking', you don't exist because you think, if you didn't think you would still be here, just not aware of being.

Answer 3

Thought is the Universe, or the "I", the "core self" directing awareness towards itself, for there is no other.

When you say "I" and I say "I", we are speaking of the same "I", there is only the one.

You are the Universe exploring itself through your eyes, I am the Universe exploring itself through my eyes, we are talking to ourselves.

For is not the Universe at least the sum of it's parts? If a man is aware of his own existence, then too mustn't the Universe be?

We, mankind that is, represent the cognitive ability of the universe, it's awareness, we are aware that we exist, and we are not amused...

That "not amused" part was a joke, just in case a part of us missed it...

Answer 4

you're not denying existence if you don't doubt existence, the thought of existence came from your existence- isn't thought a result of the human mind, human reasoning? abstract ideas and concepts come from thoughts otherwise, how would they be defined?

Answer 5

Good little thought you have there. Thoughts that exist in ones own mind are not any good unless transmitted? I am not a mind reader so could you tell me a little more about your subject of thought?

Answer 6

"Where and what are YOUR thoughts?" Here and now are 'my' thoughts of course.

You are in my thoughts (aww...) Because if you were not then surely you would not exist. There is nothing other than my thoughts.

And if 'you' say that my thought that this is a rather 'zen' conversation is someone else's thought then I say "tosh". because 'I' thought of it all myself.

Though I seem to think some other people did say something similar.

Answer 7

Thought arises from the neuritic-chemical process in the brain. What is thought on the primal level is the neuritic-chemical messages from the body. From this "conversation", in the cerebrum, abstract thought is formed. The first thought was most assuredly - Why?

Answer 8

We came from nothing, no experience, no memories, no dreams, a perfect thought which thought nothing.
We experience life with all that that gives us. We 'die' and become nothing but thought again, turmoil, memories, desires, dead forever,
Hell.
Then think, create, thought can see, can hear, can touch,can create life from a old shoe it imagined, can create everything from nothing.

Thought is everything.

Answer 9

I thought you`d have been carted off in a straight jacket by now.

Answer 10

I cannot answer you without turning my "thought" into words...
