I wish to use this blog as a register for noting down the stray thoughts lurking in the mind and getting lost permanently.The flickering sparks of ideas like the states of mind in yoga,buddhist psychology or phenomenology do not convey any "ability" to cogitate. These seem to be entirely dependent on the stimuli present on that moment.So it is very difficult to think in terms of endurance,intellgence or O factor etc.One thing is for sure. Most of this activity is lingustic though I am ready to assign some to non verbal and non-signbased outbursts,sudden cognising and spontanuous expressions even before batting of an eyelid or sudden linking up lights on ideas seemingly disconnected.The flicker had just once shone. that was long ago. let me make a new begining.

  1. Dr. Surendra Barlinge in his auto biography has insisted that Descartes' innate idea must belong to something related to mathematics or geometry and not to just the innate idea of God or such things. like the value of pie there must be some innate ideas in human brain which are common to all human beings ancient or modern.This is an interesting twist to rationalism in the history of western philosophy.
