The problem, apparently, is that having one is not thereby a guarantee that
thinking will occur -
something in the synaptic wind catches the sails on the intersubjective sea
and there is no doubt that the wind blows strongest, as Socrates noted, in
youth. Or from another tradition:
"The wind was flapping the temple flag, and two monks started an argument.
One said the flag moved, the other said the wind moved; they argued back and
forth but could not reach a conclusion. The Sixth Patriarch said, "It is
not the wind that moves, it is not the flag that moves; it is your mind that
moves."
