No. Virtually all thoughts are the result of some stimulus, which may be regarded as the basis of the thought.

What is a thought? Are all thoughts the same? Where do thoughts come from?
I could talk about the "Jiggle Dance" (you won't find any reference to it on the web - I have only been writing it in personal pages), which in of itself is a thought of how thoughts work and how to make them work, but then it is only a thought.
Thoughts are baseless, meaningful and wonderful as perceived by oneself.
So, the question I have is how you use a thought - is that the basis of your question - "Are thoughts baseless"? Because that would lead down a different path as to how or why to answer your question.
Compared to how we perceive a thought, which is another path to consider.

Depends what you're thinking...
:)
It may have a base or it may not. Thoughts are powerful. They create your future. So be careful what you think. Even if it was baseless you make it true by thinking it...

A THOUGHT is the base itself. From it stems more sub-thoughts. It's the root. It's where our actions are determined and geared. It's our basis on what to say or how to move about. It is indeed the PRIMARY step to turn our human mechanism.

Thoughts or impulses perceived out side of personal identity but perceived as in the personal body for consciousness are different comparing to thoughts for which we have memory for their genesis. Personal first person experiences are identity for consciousness. Memories for which there is not a before it and/or after it are uncertain. The degree for its uncertainty is identified according to identifiability or recognition for that memories objective and subjective content. Thought for which there is absolutely not identifiable content in the first person is completely alien thought for that consciousness.

Not Richard Prior's thoughts while he was on fire...
I hope I'm not the only one who gets that one...

even thoughts in a stream of conscious format come from somewhere - at least for me
