Archived Thought Theory

Archived Thought Theory (2016)

This is a theory about individual thought, and the way it affects that individual's life and perhaps the small circle of people around him. It deals with thoughts and actions on a small scale, usually concerning only one or two people.

I believe that an individual can significantly alter or change his life relatively quickly simply by recording or archiving his own thoughts using some kind of media, like a notebook, or a text and video blog. The very process of recording thoughts and ideas, regardless of base talent or intelligence, will expand that individual's talents and intelligence through out all aspects of his life. He will not need to wait long to see positive results, provided that he maintains a consistent rhythm and pattern of recording. At the fundamental level, I believe this process physically enhances brain power by building new connections inside the brain while strengthening existing ones. The individual will also gain new perspective on his life that he did not have before. If he chooses to post his content on a public forum that allows for feedback or constructive criticism, he will be able to use that and continue to improve. Outside feedback may further improve progress but personal growth will also take place without it, should the individual choose not to share his media. However, it will be slower, and have less impact, and will exist on a smaller scale.

Conscious thought plays a very large role in shaping an individual's life. A talented painter's first step towards creating a masterpiece is to simply begin thinking about it. In this way, small, simple, conscious thoughts actually have profound effects when looked at over a longer period of time.
