Thinking

Thinking is the way our brains experience confusion.

Disagree...
Thinking takes place whether in or out of confusion. It can lead to confusion but thereafter it can also take on new paths to problem solve, to action or to redundancy. If I may, a better question perhaps would be- What type of thinking may bring about a stability during confusion. Perhaps a look at the revised Bloom's Taxonomy may be insightful.

Thank you John. This post has left most people confused and asking me: "What are you talking about?"

My statement is philosophical in nature. We think in order to resolve conflicts in our perception / experience. I use these words broadly of course, but I hold that the if we could measure thinking and confusion independently we would find a very high correlation and perhaps even causality.

Think of your own experience as you read this or when engaged in something else that requires cognition, interpretation and thought in general. You start to think things thru. You begin to resolve them and feel them out. I refer to this as confusion, perhaps this is not the best word to use?
