Two kinds of thought

Humans are capable of two kinds of thought:
1) this, and
2) that.

The "other thing" is merely imagination, a future possibility that can never be realized.

This, is saying/thinking stupid things in an intelligent way; and
That, is saying/thinking intelligent things in a stupid way.

The "other thing" (depending upon your time-based preference) is saying/thinking intelligent things in an intelligent way.

You might think - looking at your own mind - that you do the "other thing" all the time, right? Wrong.

It never happens, because there's no need for it to happen, anymore than there is a need for people to fly. (If "god" had wanted people to fly, "he" would have..., and if "he" had wanted people to say intelligent things intelligently, he would have...)

Go figure... or, TWO plus TWO sometimes equals FOUR, and sometimes not (depending upon your time-based, ad-hoc preference.)
