what is a thought?

cartoons by Lohbado

Lohbado was surprised when, during a discussion, a person made a declarative statement. When Lohbado asked for clarification, the person replied that the statement was true, because the person had thought about it. Because the person thought about it, no further exposition was necessary. The person assumed: I think, therefore it's true. If you argue, I'll get angry and intimidate you into playing along with my declarative statement.
