Comment on Science, Engineering and Art all involve lots of concentration.

Concentration is a crossroads, a natural coming together point, a city that already exists in your mind, you just have to find it except when you do, it irrevocably changes the city and risks sending the true heart of your concentration somewhere else and thus at least for some of us “concentration” is the name for an eternal wild goose chase not a name for a set of tools we have in our woodworking shop.

Despite the hugeness of its effects, I’m inclined to the “set of tools” model mself. I hold my focused attention upon a thing. I hold it there as I would hold my fngertip upon a spot on the wall. It’s as simple as that. It is a thing that I can do. A power.

Fair but listen to me when I say our minds are nothing alike, if you ever pretend to understand what makes people like me tick or it will be the beginning of your undoing for better or worse.
