You are having the thought. < are you having the thought, or
is the thought having you? >
When considering an idea. Such as, "Shall I go left, coz it looks quite interesting over that way, but there's a bit of a ditch in the way with icky stuff in the bottom I could fall into, or right, since there are some lovely sounds of rustling money coming from over there but those lurking people behind the curtains look dodgy?" You are in a quantum state of all possible conditions of all possible wave functions. If you select neither and do something else, neither idea becomes real.
When you select a plan and enact it, you drop into a particular quantum state and become real and you are the idea. Just as photons exist in all possible states before the observer creates reality for it by observing it, you exist in all possible states until you enact an idea, whereupon you, the idea and reality become unified, possibly to your great disadvantage.
Unfortunately, most ideas are bad, which is why nature has been so busy for a billion years killing off umpty mega trillions of failed ideas, leaving only the most highly attuned of our brains in existence, though when you look around at the people who have made it through, the test is obviously not too stringent. But we are doing a lot better than chimps, which have much greater intellectual horsepower than horses, which leave click beetles in the dust.
I shall now indefatigably venture out into the world. I think I'll go right, up to the ocean beach. On the other hand, I could go left to the harbour beach. Decisions decisions.... I will be thinking of the world's new financial system either way, so neither beach will own me. The wave functions are bigger on the ocean but the Airy Wave Theory applies as well to Pilot Bay.
But wait a minute, who said that financial system thinking was allowed in? It does seem to have a bit of a grip on me. Maybe we are team work? Me and past reality combining to form future reality for mutual benefit. Or did I just get nominated for the job, against my free will? I do have free will, right?
