Become Idea-Prone

Nobody understands (yet) how your brain—a physical thing—can produce an idea—something that is not physical. All we know is that it happens. Perhaps it happens to you less often than to other people, but since it has happened to you a few times we know that there's no physical deficiency—no genetic mutation in your brain for example—that's preventing you from getting ideas. You can get them. That's proven. So the only things we have to figure out is why you're getting too few of them and to work on getting more of them.
