Thought Experiment

Last night I decided to try a thought experiment.
Not just any thought experiment, this one was different. Instead of sticking with what I know and thinking of thoughts that can be thunk, I wanted to push my boundaries and think of the thoughts that cannot be thunk. I call these, The Unthunkables.
You are probably saying to yourself the same thing that I did to myself when I started this experiment, "how can you think of a thought which can't be thunk?"
It seems to be a contradiction, but this is not the case.
You see thoughts that can't be thunk aren't an impossibility but a very real phenomenon. It has nothing to do with the thinkability of your thoughts but everything to do with acknowledging that you are wrong.
You were wrong to think that the thought you just thought of that you've never thought of before was unthinkable.
If you're like me this will cause you to bring into question everything about your life. "Why did I jump to the conclusion that this thought couldn't be thunk?" "what grounds did I have to make that decision."
"where else in my life am I being blatantly wrong and believing it to be true?"
"Does this mean that I'm going to hell?"
I come to the conclusion that probably it does.
And that really is too bad, because I have heard that it is not a walk in the park. |

No.

Every thought at one point or another, was Unthunkable.
This "phenomenon" has existed for as long as the phenomenon of time.
Welcome Shanny!!! to the parallel dimension of 'The Unthunkables'. |

I see no proof or even speculative evidence of thoughts that can't be "thunk".
Furthermore, I'd like to point out that a thought, by definition, is the product of thinking, and therefore it is in fact impossible for thoughts to exist that nobody can think of (or indeed, has already thought of).
Experiment over. Null hypothesis refuted. |

You can't not think about things that you try not to think about.
I've gone through the above experiment all the time and it always proves true...
It's probably the most powerful weapon/tool I've found. Use it wisely. |
