Thinking is strenuous work; we avoid it at all costs, including progress. We jump across to used thinking—called thoughts—ours and others’, because those fly easier and faster. The value of conversation is to stimulate new thinking work but it is mainly co-opted by thoughts, so we get mired without realizing. We’re excited by a “new” idea but just that fast it becomes a “used” thought. If it’s a thought, it’s used. We have to slog on.
