Cynique you said it earlier. Somethings are difficult to express with language. Thinking or cognition may be one of those things.

Cynique I assume that people want to challenge their beliefs and do original thinking. I would say your synopsis or is it analysis, is on the money. There aren't too many places where you can have a provocative dialogue. The question is not what do you think about or how do you think. But what happens while you are thinking. My initial feeling was thinking is a mysterious process. Since you don't feel anything and then the answer pops out.

Lol-ly

I person could be shown how to ride a bike wearing shutters. Like a horse so the bike is never visible. Or a blind person could learn to ride a tricycke. Leonardo daVinci might disagree with you. Nor would Einstein or Farraday. They didn't accept the facts. They could see beyond what literalist can see.

Pioneer you can not imagine a situation where a person can do something that you can not. Or do something that you can not conceive. I can think of a least two situatuons where you can ride a bike without being able to fully identify a bike.

I don't need to know what a bike is, i just need to be able to identify it. Most of what you have posted I disgree with, yet for you it is self evident.

Pioneer there's a subtle difference: what I am asking, and what you think I am asking. Sometimes I am capable of deriving a question that's palatable to the person being asked. It took me 30 minute with someone who understands my thought process. So I thank you for the effort. I'll post my response to the question. I didn't have sn answer until a day ago. Del The tricky part of communicatin is that we use the same words, but the meanings are shaded by our experience. Which is where the distortion happens. Also even if you grow up in the same environment your temperment, beliefs and assumptions will influence and skew how you see things. Pioneer when you use the words true and false I think of them they way a logician philosophers or computer programmer would. So there can be things that are true and wrong . Veracity only means that if I accept your assumptions and follow your thinking I can come to the same conclusion. Personally most assumptions are opinions. I would say that there are no facts. And if i can think of a situation no matter how far fetched that fact is no longer solid. The reason i take this position is that I can not be certain of the unknown much less the unknowable. Pioneer we have a different style of communication and thought process. I am not wedded to any idea or belief. Except that I want to know and figure stuff out.

I am becoming aware that people have different thought processi and thoughts It was an attempt ti show process although what i am asking is not easily put into words. So I appreciate the effort.

@Troy your last paragraph answers the question. You don't know what happens when you think. @Pioneer the question is what happens in your mind. What you have decscribed is the outcomes and your mental process. It is not a trick question it is however subtlety tricky. It helps if you can think about your thinking. Metathinking.

Can you describe how you think? Its a pretty difficult question. @Troy @Cynique This is open to anyone. A different way if answer the question is as follows. Can you describe the difference between hiw it feels when you are thinking and you solve a problem and when you don't. However dont refer to the emotional or physical sensations. Just use mental ones.

But you're Social Media is actually social.

Yeah yiu just reminded me that i saw Nona Hendryx. In Brooklyn. I may have seen Corey Glover aka Rev Daddy Love. I met Corey through a former friend. I also meet Vernon once by accident. And then he did a physical chat group. He's a thinker.

BB King stops playing when he sings.

BB King doesn't sing when he plays Nancy Wilson slayed guess who i say yesterday Heard Corey Glover. Vernon Reid and Doug Wumbush side projects. I was hanging out with Roy Ayers agter his concert. I said when you were playing steam was coming off of you. He said , " If I didn't sweat I wasn't working!"

Ten bands i have seen and one i haven't. The Jackson Five Phyliss Hyman Roberta Flack Donny Hathaway Prince Miles Davis Herbie Hancock Sarah Vaughan Max Roach Betty Carter Geri Allen

You miss the point. Someone with more patience can try explaining it to you.

Wow. Where do you start. The past the present or the future. There are so many angles to view this: cultural; community; psychological; economical; racial; national and or power dynamics. Maybe there needs to be a many pronged approach.

Reread what i wrote. However feel free to post a timed prediction. I actually went back to figure the date. So look forward to your timed prediction. The precision was a bit off but the date is right within a week. Looking forward to a more accurate and precise prediction from you. Or some excuse. Interestingly i had a few astrologers make the same criticisms. And one really talented one like the prediction. Who realised it was my first attempt.

And some Joy

So thats my timed prediction. Please post your timed prediction.

Capitalism communism or socialism. Can also apply to the system of government.

It looks like Marx was right about capitalism.

Thanks Troy. A friend used to say, "Spade don't Fade. "
