Thinking The Same.

Then I would know what you were thinking.

That would be awesome since I would know what you were thinking as well!

Thinking that would be incredibly boring. :)

My thoughts exactly!

i was just thinking that... NOT!!

It might be great fun once but i’d rather have my own thoughts thanks… i believe the wisdom of creation is in it’s infinite diversity…

I think we all believe that Ed.

But I want your thoughts Ed.....

OOH Sydne please for your own sanity and safety reconsider that thought... =>))

Wow I knew you were going to say that Ed!

The prospect of intimately sharing our thoughts with one another is absolutely terrifying, Ronald.

The question you pose infers that a collective hive consciousness could make a quantum leap to a level that would quickly vaporize everyone's sense of individual sovereignty and require the total abandonment of personal privacy; a state of mind in which the lives of human beings would have to be strictly regulated by something akin to George Orwell's, Thought Police.

No thanks!

But think about it Patrick if we collectively all had the same thoughts.....there would be no lawyers, and every day would be Saturday.

we would all create the exact same art!

We may all be pleased with the art but would we all be happy with the lack of sales...lol

This idyllic reverie for a collectively shared vision, which you describe so affectionately and in such drippingly romanticized tones, is nothing short of a dystopian nightmare.

But, on a lighter note, have you not heard of Sookie Stackhouse?

We would all be happy with lack of sales, and we would ask for critiques and no one would give one, because we would of course just love it. Not to mention we wouldn't need board monitors cause we all have the same position, no rancor. Unless of course we were all in a bad mood.

And whose fault would that be? the bad mood that is...

We are Borg. You will be assimilated

Isabella F. Abbie Shores nailed it.


(Whew! I'm outta breath just typing your full name, but I haven't forgotten your previous incarnation...remember mine? Patrijk Anton-Piers. LOL!)

My exact thoughts! Go figure!!

We would all be at fault at the very same time.

But i need someone to BLAME... other than me of course, because i'm ALWAYS in a GOOD MOOD...

LOL Patrick... You should try and type out my WHOLE legal name :)

Good to see you back

Good to be back, Isabella!

OMG, I just had a thought, but you all knew that.

I don't think it would be great...but if we all did, you'd already know that.

The exchange of ideas and yes thoughts are vital to the development of artist and people in general. One of the great things about this site is the free exchange of ideas with people who we most likely would not have the opportunity to meet otherwise. I often find myself in disagreement with other artist on this site and at times participate in verbal jousting. That is how it should be, we are different and have different ideas. I am pro open exchange of conversation in the threads. I am concerned that many are not, am I far off base on this?

I knew that's where this was heading

My chicken wings were very tasty, and the cold beer went down so good!

Yum Mario!

Me TOO Abbie!

Long bathroom lines

LMAO Melissa!!!

hold up, Mario! some of us are vegetarians. how does that work? ;)

Quorn chicken... very tasty

a hive mind can be useful some times. but it would get boring or loud. hope y'all like death metal.

Chances are someone out there is thinking the same thing. That's the downside of the Internet. Think of something original and then Google it and find out that its already been said/done.

This is what Ronald might have used for the intro to this thread, and I wish he had, because it is positively brilliant:

With the open exchange of ideas, even those that are at odds with others, comes a burgeoning swell of creativity.

Q: What do you think made Pixar Studios' films so wonderfully successful?
A:The collective pooling and exchange of creative thought.

Great discussion, spot-on contribution, Ronald.

Is this Thursday? I so feel like yesterday. You all are wearing me out with your thoughts, and long bathroom lines.

@Carolyn, no problem I have made many non meat dishes! Some thing for everyone, I just gotta sift through all those pork dishes to find them.Lol

so thoughtful ;)

psst Sydne....I'll give you cuts. I'm next up!

No worries Marlene.....I have depends on.

I actually have a thought about thought. Thought is an object whose function is to detect change in life, and then reuse the information. It gets a bit more complicated, where sentences contain modifiers as well, and sentences become equations where a social robot should seek to balance out a sentence with too high in a certain quality if it infers that the only change in a sentence of whom all other elements are known. I wonder if thinking is 2-dimensional or not. Maybe if we were in a 5 dimensional universe we'd have more room in our brains.
