Someone's unthinkable in Thoughts and philosophical stuff I think.

6/1/23

Everybody thinks, they have logical and emotional processes where they create and transfer knowledge and blah blah. People think. But there are things we can not think. That we aren’t prepared to think because we aren’t made for it, like incredibly big cuantities or strange scientifical concepts.

But what I come to define as unthinkable isn’t none of those things. The unthinkable is different for each person, and often defines a part of their actions or behaviour.
Someone’s unthinkable is a concept, idea or reasoning that is perfectly understandable and has a level of complexity that makes it completely thinkable to any reasonable human being, but for some reason, it is never thought by such subject, and it has an impact on that person’s life. Colloquially, a thing that someone doesn’t notice from themselves or the world, but that is relatively obvious.

Example: Isis, she always complains and complains about teachers, but never thinks that maybe she is starting to complain about everything and becoming a problem herself instead of a solution.

Example: Father, just his overall behaviour. Going party, sex at home and those things. Forgetting he has a son (I’m more of a stranger at this point).
In this case, his unthinkable presents itself in a “lack of common sense”.

Example: B always wants to help people emotionally. What he might not have ever considered was that helping someone might make them dependant on his, and cause a problem by itself (kinda what’s happening to me, he did not explicitly help me but he talks to me in a helpful way and it makes me want to talk more n keep going).

Now, to my own unthinkable, I have to theories.

1. Since I’m so sefl aware, I just don’t have one because I tend to go through all possibilites in a rational way, which makes me think about everything, positive or negative, good or bad, big or small.

2. (I’m more on this one). I, as everyone, have an unthinkable. But it’s own nature doesn’t allow me to know what is it that I am uncapable of thinking.
   Maybe the rationality that I internally presume and adore actually gives me a sense of “false confidence” about maybe not having an unthinkable, when the unthinkable is actually related to objective thinking, or something on that tone.

Hopefully understandable.
