First recorded thought-stream on self

If I may speak for everyone for a moment, let me assert that our current state of affairs is characterised by confusion. (The fact that I note this state exclusively suggests its weight in my general characterisation of states). To alleviate this ailment which prevails in reminding us of its existence with every human thought, first it is necessary to deem plausible the determination of the plausibility of (absolute) clarity.

I hope the reader can forgive me for using unclear or verbose language. Let this serve as an example of the recurrent manifestation of reasons to believe achieving clarity is implausible. Throughout this text the reader may find assertions which conflict with existing evidence, have little to no evidence, or which contradict previous assertions. Here I state, without ambiguity, that my purpose in writing this text is to develop the clearest explanation as to why I am writing this text, without directly addressing the question.

Needless to say, there is very little of interest to find in the completion of what seems to be an arbitrary self assignment of a time consuming task. However, I urge my readers to keep an eye out for whatever interesting ideas that emerge throughout.

There is absolute truth in the fact that I do not know the cause for any event, be it a tree falling in a distant forest, the Big Bang, or my own thoughts and actions. My fundamental concern with this is the recurrent necessity to identify the causes of events in one's life. The problem is vastly simplified under the assumption life is finite, necessitating that events also occur in finite time, allowing for the edification of a logical methodology by which to identify events.
Even so, the problem is unapproachable mathematically, at least without adhering to some notational convention, preconceived framework or formalism.

An objective observer could plausibly associate my concern with my inability to adopt the most efficient methodology when asked to identify a cause and the context to which it belongs. The notion of efficiency arises in the question of competence. Achieving a set of possible decisions which lead to that end in itself requires that the methodology used to arrive at the most efficient conclusion be the most efficient from the commencement of one's means. That is, the most efficient methodology must be chosen as quickly as possible from a finite set of methodologies, and must also be the first to be chosen among these. Choosing inefficient methodologies and/or choosing methodologies inefficiently is a characterisation of incompetence.
