Gregory's ServerI have ADHD and one time I was doing a mindfulness meditation where you were supposed to visualize a mousehole where thoughts were coming out and count how many thoughts.
That was the first time I realized most people have one thought at a time most of the time.
Anyway, needing elaborate nesting systems to represent how my brain thinks is very relatable to me, can't say if it's universal though.

I hope this doesn't sound like some kind of "iamsosmart I have more thoughts than most people" thing.
The thoughts are not better or more, it's just my brain uses up its focus fuel too fast to sustain attention through a full thought unless the thought is really gripping because it is related to my interests, is challenging, generates conflict, or is an emergency.
In which case my brain has trouble switching to any OTHER thought.
