Ideas seek immortality. Unlike what most of us think, we do not come up with
them. They happen to us.

We are just consumers. Informational metabolisms.

We surely seek them; sometimes desperately. We definitely ask for them just like
we ask for food. Some of them taste good and others are unbearable.

Ideas have qualities. They can induce hallucinations and distort our reality.
The worst are viral.

They hijack our processes and motivations. They make us just another mouth. A
node in their transmittance network.

I became aware of this very early in my journey. I noticed the nature of
thoughts I entertain right after reading a book. It felt like I had none of my
own.

I kept echoing the author's ideas. Rationalizations featuring them kept spawning
randomly as if I was responsible for their consistency. Yet, they weren't mine.

I called it, intellectual contamination.

Ideas see birth in our minds via intercourse of pre-existing thoughts. They are
either intended if actively sought or a happenstance of subconscious background
activity. However, "natural" ideas are always a spontaneous product.

The mind actively seeks to combine them as if it is trying to fit puzzle pieces.
The resulting background noise will see instances of actual fitting. When two
fertile ideas are pinned against one another a new one is birthed.

Some of them are so potent and multi-faceted that they can bifurcate off
themselves.

New ideas grow through phases.

When birthed they are prone to die at any moment if they don’t make themselves
necessary or useful. Thus, new ideas immediately attempt to branch and link with
well-established beliefs for survival purposes. Realized connections are
experienced as "Aha!" moments.

The chances of survival of an idea are dependent on the current state of the
mind and compatibility with the active beliefs.

Furthermore, a new entity has to always fight for its place in an established
environment. What we experience as "getting obsessed with an idea" is merely a
fight for survival within our mind. It can either take over like a desease or be
tamed into a meaningful source of insight.

Much of the idea's potential is explored or realized during this obsession
phase. Attention is the deciding factor as what thrives or not.

It is the reason why an idea will try to fuse with the most stable beliefs you
have as these have access to significant mental resources.

It is a blind battle for logistics.

A bad idea might go viral or a good idea might just die.

However, if you do not condition either, they will contaminate every aspect of
your mindscape. It is just how ideosis works.

Force early encounters with the external world. Express the idea and see if it
survives outside your mind and how.

If the idea is resilient enough it will survive in other people too.

If an idea has potential it will resonate with other people and they will
embrace it.

Expression is a necessity to regulate thought or else, we would only have
internal conflict.

It is hard to fight silent battles. Internal conflicts can induce corruption
within the mind and deviation from realistic thought.

The danger to be found in meddling with ideas comes mainly from their deceiving
appearances. Their simple formulations hides a plethora of unspoken
justifications. Ones that you may not be ready to face nor to accept.

The truth behind an idea only becomes apparent when we see its effect on someone
who goes by it. Only then, we realize how naïve and clueless we were about its
consequences and come to realize that,

Ideas have implicit code.

By accepting a thought, we can get coerced to act just because we experience the
duty to be true to our beliefs. But what if those beliefs aren't ours. And what
if those beliefs serve other agendas.

It is no wonder, that controlling thoughts is so efficient at moving individuals
and even crowds.

We might take positions we not agree with. Behave in ways that exposes us as
something we never thought we were.

Thoughts can lead us. They filter what we can see.

At the end, everyone falls for ideology. What matters is, what do you choose to
consume.
