I was thinking, strange as that might seem, about the state of my neurons and their seemingly similar nature to hair.
Yes… I used to have long hair (but only when that was kewl)
You know how your thoughts are like little neural pathways? Strands of tiny fibers that connect to create complex networks a bit like hair.
Taking the analogy a bit further you can see that I’m heading to knots and how to avoid them.
(tangent) Knots are a phenomenon not only in hair but in neurons. If you wikipedia alzheimers disease you’ll see a graphic example of a neurofibrillary tangle
So given that if we sleep without combing our hair for days and days, unless it is very short, it will tangle.
Eventually if it is allowed to tangle more and more it will eventually become dreadlocks.
Unfortunately I think this same thing is happening by people that fail to reflect.
Pondering on a subject is something that I have long found useful as it tends to have the effect of making that which was at one time overwhelming, ordered and sensible.
This is especially true if you are prone to organizing thoughts in a mind map or hierarchal structure or even a blog post…
