Your brain generates thoughts constantly, like your gut produces gas. Writing them down helps you sort through them instead of letting them pile up. One speaker prefers keeping unfiltered thoughts private rather than expecting others to read their mind.

I tell my students all the time, our brain makes thoughts like our GI system makes gas.
So it's just like, just all the time spewing out thoughts and you can kind of pick them out and sort them through, which I see that you can do better when you're writing it down.
Yeah, for sure. Mind reading, or I'd never want mind reading. I don't wanna know anyone's unfiltered thoughts, but it does help writing them down and processing them that way.
