Silence, a return to thought for the dissembled. Over time, since I was born, each of my motives has gathered around it a system of strategies. Sometimes I’m engaged in taking the world into me, and reprogramming myself in accordance with forward-looking design, which we can call “reasoning”. Some of the strategies of some of my motives interfere with reasoning. Most of these strategies were gathered so that I could speak other than to express my thoughts. Most of those strategies don’t need to interfere with reasoning, if I’m not about to speak. So if I return to a silence, provisionally permanent until my motives newly pull me to speak, then I’ll return to thought, if I’m pulled to think.
