    I think this distinction is imagined, thinking is largely just a reorganisation and reinterpretation of memory.

      That’s a neat hypothesis, but there is no settled science on what is “thinking”. Specially thinking in the sense of coming up with new ideas.

        But my point is thinking is all smoke and mirrors, its really just an active memory.
