The reason he Forgot those things was, in his mind he was in deep thought. All the tedium of the stuff we call normal activity gets in the way. I stopped talking to people a couple times in life. Once, in college, all I was doing was trying to grasp algebra. After, IDK, a few days, maybe a week, I sat down and started writing equations, and each expanded on the last, and it Flowed and was So spontaneous and it just Felt so Obvious, WHILE my head was There. Two days later, I was just almost as bewildered by algebra as before. I'm sad to say I eventually tossed those pages. My chemistry lab partner came, looked, thought I'd copied the stuff. Finally he believed me, and I asked why was it I couldn't do another equation, he said that the papers were all of algebra, a complete synopsis, next step was calculus.
You IMMERSE yourself in a question that the answer just isn't coming to you when it's a Back burner thing, if it's important to get the answer. Ever wonder what it was like, hanging out, around some of the great composers? Or mathematicians? You think THEY would be interested in some running backs stats?? I was sick. Sometimes, didn't leave the house for weeks on end. But, I could think.. and when I got up enough, I started Digging into things that Don't agree with what we are pumped full of.
I immersed myself in finding out what is going on. I never got it all, but I would say What's going on AIN'T what we're Told is going on. And there are, as yet, unanswered questions about just that, in the TT.
