# What Is Thinking Anyway

I don't know what it is. Because what I do for "thinking" is like
this:

1. Wait indefinitely until something pops up in my mind.
2. Wait indefinitely until another thing pops up in my mind.
3. Wait indefinitely until another thing pops up in my mind.

[...]

n-1. Wait indefinitely until another thing pops up in my mind.
n. Arrange the ideas logically.

But I know that other people don't "think" like this. My speech an
d writing are quite different since when I speak I don't have enou
gh time for the n-th step. So my speech often becomes a literal no
nsense. But for other people, those do not seem THAT different.

Of course you can have an external point of view, and say "Thinkin
g is producing ideas". But that is too unsatisfying and oversimpli
fied.

So, what is thinking anyway?
