• Sometimes, there are concepts that I come across for the first time, but I feel like I’ve already thought about them in some way.

    • I didn’t know they had a name for it, but it seems like I’ve had similar thoughts before.
    • It’s a common experience (takker).
      • I remember reading about it in an article called “When Mr. Takker Toba Sei talked about protecting the Inuwashi of Oku-Tadami! About Life Nurtured by Dialogue with Nature” on AERA dot.
    • It’s nice to know that there are already names attached to these concepts.
  • Maybe I had actually come up with the same concept on my own.

    • However, in most cases, I feel like I’ve only received fragmented information about it from external sources in the past.
    • I can’t prove either way.
    • What does ‘thinking for oneself’ mean?
  • It would be best if I could come up with my own answer and then compare it with the answers in classical works or famous books.

    • However, just reading books often leads to a superficial understanding without really engaging in the process of thinking for myself.
    • Going through the process of thinking for myself would lead to a deeper understanding.

Examples of concepts I’ve thought about:

  • The cybernetic aspect of systems.
  • Evolutionary theory.
  • Vision thinking.
  • The rule of modularity.
  • Occam’s Razor.
  • Existentialism.
  • Structuralism.
