Thinking Out Loud:
“If two of us meet and you take a paper out of your pocket and start reading a speech, I will say, ‘Let me have that. I can read it myself more effectively.’ I am confident that live meetings catalyze swift awareness of the particular experiences of mutual interest regarding which our thoughts are spontaneously formulated. Live meetings often become pivotal in our lives. I have learned that it is possible to stand and think out loud from the advantage of our most effective possible preparation which is all recorded and on tap in our brains and monds. Advance thought about our discourse spoils it. There awaiting its anytime employment by our brain-scanning mind is the ever recorded and high-lighted inventory of our life-long experiences integrated with all the relevant experiences others have communicated to us. Out of this inventory your live presence catalyzes my freshly reconsidering thoughts relevant to our mutual interests.”
