Newer Thought to Question Why

A fully-realised thought does not just plop out of the sky. It's not like a latter day Python-esque sketch where a man walking down a street is just suddenly struck by an albatross. Not even the more feasible streetcar. No, a fully-realised thought percolates. It transmutes. Is mused over. It's forgotten. Picked back up and forged into a working thesis. Ideas, ideas grow on trees, but they have to be worked upon to become a thought. Not merely a question, or a ponderance. ...but a real thought.

This is why I constantly have problems with "keeping up". I place strictures on what I consider to be a fully-realised thought with supporting, logical argumentation. It takes more time than the cookie-cutter nature of the quickening of culture through blogonomics. It has to be something larger, something that accurately shows a step-progression of logic, instead of giant leaps and the higgeldy-piggeldy nature of much online writing.

I'll have to think on this further.
