RE: Generating Ideas for Writing - Stealing Ideas
As I was making that comment, I was reading an article analyzing whether a spider's brain includes his web (jury is out), and I started thinking about how much of my brain is in THE web, and associated devices, and wondering what it means to "know" something. Then the abyss yawned, and I could see that if I went down it I wasn't getting any work done today. But it's there, waiting.
That is like the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland. Conscious awareness is very limited, subconscious information is much greater, tacit knowledge is significant, accessible information seems limitless, and original data is limitless for all we know.
