Even though it is unlikely that we will ever think a unique thought we can still have a unique experience of that thought. Although, that raises another thought. How could anyone ever know that they had a unique experience of a thought. Unless you've been in another's body thinking that person's thoughts you can not be sure that the other person's experience of the thought is any different from your own experience of it. I've been thinking more and more that our internal experience of things, including thoughts, is the same at some level. Perhaps our reaction to the already-thought thought is what is unique because that depends on our ... that was funny, my wife just interrupted me and I had to go talk to her, which leads me to another thought and it is this --> is an complete thought the same as an interrupted thought when its the same thought ... unique background (education, race, religion, family, friends, geographic location).

I think I had more to say but just can't remember now.
