About This Quote

When you are alone in your own thoughts, it is hard to make sense of what's going on in your mind. You can't save the content to a file or write it down. It's only when you share your thoughts out loud that others can get insight into them. They can catch any mistakes or false assumptions that were not directly noticeable to you. Brain scans are useful for this purpose, but they don't take the place of other techniques like introspection.
