Stretch your idea muscles with strong coffee each morning

It’s a good idea to stretch out one’s idea muscles before shooting off one’s thoughts at others in the morning.

I find that a couple jolting cups of exceedingly strong black coffee in the morning helps limber up my grey haired unconventional idea muscles, before heading off into the adventure of a glorious new day, brimming with promise.

How you exercise your own idea muscles may vary.

● 》 Idea muscles – use them or lose them.

That’s one of the reasons I get annoyed that so many people seem willing to stop thinking for themselves, and allow AI to do their thinking for them, for the mental crutch of “convenience”.

AI is not “smart”. Increasingly relying on AI to do one’s thinking for oneself is pretty dumb, in my opinion.

● This fine Saturday morning, perhaps try coming up with a new idea about anything.

● Doesn’t matter what the new idea is, or what topic your new idea is about.

● But your idea muscles will atrophy if you don’t use them.

Just my opinion; as always, you are free to disagree.

    indeed.

    Thanks Rhynhardt Berrange. I tend to collect unusual / humorous / absurd images, and use the images as a starting point to randomly start writing text.

    Which is *not* the same as using AI as a crutch / excuse for shutting off one's own thinking processes.

    The NPC AI Zombie Crowd seems to be growing bigger each day.

    the tongue is mightier than the sword?

    Thanks Rob Berridge (EngTech TMIET).

    Today and tomorrow no coffee / caffeine because I'm on another 2 day water fast.

    I'm realizing just how much of a creative mental jolt a couple large mugs of very strong black coffee can give me. Your mileage may vary.
