Lol, in that case, I'm not gonna ask.

Yes, I'd say our thoughts can be distinct from each other... conversely, I can't see how all our thoughts can be mere variations of one original thought when we're obviously capable of thinking about many unrelated things.
Yes, I'd say memories are thoughts when we actively remember, and the experiences they stem from are the origins of those thoughts... but original only to us, not original in nature... unless we've somehow had an entirely unique experience.
No, we don't need to express ourselves vocally in order to be having thoughts... hence, private thoughts.
Consider that every thought had to have been thought for a first time by someone. And thoughts and emotions are entirely different things, so that doesn't work. Interesting though, what you said about our first thoughts being original... that hadn't occurred to me, need to think about that one.
Not true... every thought had to have been thought for a first time by someone, just not by us (it seems).
Was he somehow forced to include the AG?
I've never had faith in politics, this isn't helping.
A thought that came to you entirely independent of anyone else's thoughts... something that no one before you has thought or imagined, so that it includes absolutely nothing that's already familiar to you.
Doesn't work... you're still thinking of things that have been thought by others before you, which is why it occurred to you to even think about them.
Yes, that would count as an original thought... whether someone else had already thought it or not doesn't matter, as long as you yourself thought it entirely on your own.
It only occurred to you to think of these things because others thought of them before you, and you heard about them... sodium, bath, bath bomb, etc. So not 100% original. Try imagining something that no one before you has ever imagined before, in any shape or form. I can't do it and trying boggles my mind.
I was thinking more along the lines of framing people.
Thanks for explaining. I figured it was something like that, but I'm Canadian so I wasn't sure.
