At first I rejected internally your statement that our thoughts aren't us, but as you went on and pointed out that you were revealed when you were not thinking thoughts, I had to agree. Of late I have been considering the claims I have recently read that AI can read our thoughts. It occurs to me that simply not having thoughts defeats that surveillance. Whom among us is such a zen master that they can execute that defense? I am unlikely to be such a man, although I have managed to largely suppress the racing thoughts and traumatic recollection of triggers that come with PTSD, so I have some chops.

I couldn't do much useful without having thoughts however, so the potential of that strategy is inherently limited.

Thanks!
