if you just enjoy the thoughts in the moment, typically they are lost to mists of impared memory. writing them allows you to look at them in the cold light of day. then you have the option to retain and enjoy the ones that still make sense.

it's not much different than writing down any dreams you remember. you can collect those writings and look back at them, and it is possible for them to impact your future in that way. where if you let them pass without capturing them, they are usually lost.

it's a low percentage of highdeas or dreams that are worth remembering, but some of them are really beautiful, insightful, piercing, etc.
