Babble On

Human conversation as we know it today - in your own head, with yourself, and with others - is the "dumbing down" of America, and the rest of the world. People only talk about thoughts, never about thinking.

In the case of ordinary physical matters, fixing cars, building houses, programming computers, talking only about thoughts might appear to lead to some progress - faster, more efficient cars; bigger, more energy-efficient houses; larger, more feature-rich operating systems - and people *seem* to acquire more knowledge, more facts, more figures, and they *appear* to be smarter; but regarding internal intangible matters, talking only about thoughts keeps them exactly where they were, or even worse off, in a deeper state of delusion, believing it is the *thoughts* themselves that matter, when it actual fact it is their *thinking* (or extreme lack of it) that does.

Babbling on and on and on, minute by minute, hour after hour, days turning into years, with never so much as a let-up, or even feeling that something just might be amiss.

Talking about thoughts - ideas, concepts - is NOT thinking. It's the absence of thinking.

So, what did you Google today? (Code words for, "He really didn't want to THINK, so he copy/pasted what somebody else wrote.)
