I think the “desire to think” comes pretty much with the meat hardware
Intellectual OCD. Untidy ideas bother you, and you need to clean them up.
That’s one thing. Another thing is exploration: chasing thoughts into interesting intellectual landscapes.
I think thats part of what motivates ‘someones wrong on the internet’ syndrome, when you see something obviously and provably wrong the need to fix it is almost visceral.
Creating something new out of the ether is much harder though.
That’s a good point. Intellectual OCD isn’t that creative. In fact, it can be a hindrance, as newly created ideas tend not to be too tidy.
You nailed it.
How do I do that? Be specific.
How do you give yourself OCD? Hmmm, I had always considered it a bug, and not a feature.
Encourage your annoyance with bad ideas?
Ha.
Sorry. I meant I think I suffer from the intellectual OCD as you’ve described it. How would you suggest I rid myself of it?
