Thoughts while meditating after reading Philip Johnson-Laird's Mental Models:
Why is it that we cannot think everything at once but are forced to have one thought after the other? Our memories exist together, yet we cannot call them to mind all at once, but only one at a time.
Why are there silences when we think aloud? Aren't we thinking at those moments, or are we unable to put our thoughts into words?
And for that matter, why do we finish the sentences in our head? We already know what we are going to say and we never surprise ourselves at the end of our thought sentences and say "Wow, I would never have guessed that I was going to think that!"
