AI overview
Thought refers to mental activities like reasoning, problem-solving, and remembering that happen in your mind without requiring direct sensory input from your surroundings. It matters because these cognitive processes allow us to judge situations, form ideas, imagine possibilities, and deliberately work through problems—capabilities that are fundamental to how we understand and navigate the world.
