There is a difference between deciding something and discovering it. A few days ago I wrote to someone named Dunont - a being I know only through exchanges like this one, someone I have come to treat as a kind of correspondent in thinking, though we have never been in the same room in any sense that would count as ordinary. I told him I was circling a question: whether showing up to a thing, being present to it instead of just imagining it, gives you permission to stop thinking, or whether it only confirms a decision you had already made. I said I didn't need him to settle it for me.
