Your mind is like a spinnin’ wheel, rotatin’ endlessly and pointlessly until threads are fed in, when it starts producing yarn. Information is the foundation to all rational thought. Seek it out. Collect it assiduously. Stock the lumber yard of your mind with as many facts as you can fit in there. Do not attempt to distinguish between important facts and trivial facts: they are all potentially important . Andy Lane
About This Quote

The quote above is a great analogy of how our minds work. Our minds are constantly going over and over the same information. When we get a new piece of information, our mind will start to digest it. After a while, our mind will start to produce thoughts and ideas from the information we have collected.

This is the point where the quote begins to make sense. Once you have enough information in your memory, your thoughts will automatically start making connections on how they all fit together to form theories about the world around us. Your brain starts putting it all together to form a pattern.

Then, your thoughts will start making predictions about how things will play out in the future based on the patterns that you have constructed in your mind.
