Ugh. Thought.

Has there ever been any aspect of philosophy more dry than thought? Linguistics, thanks to Chomsky Mcbrilliant-ideas-that-translate-roughly-in-text-form.

Thought, as all good little boys and girls learned in their freshman philosophy course, is the action, and any tangible, physical action is merely the direct object, if you will, of that thought. The point where this becomes difficult is at the point where action is eventual, for, while it creates in the form of material effect, it does so in an almost roundabout way. What is thought, then, as an intrinsic action? Is it merely that which causes action? What of animals, whose actions are instinctual? Wouldn't the conditions of any given situation fall under the category of thought? Is thought then the only action? How is thought created, that it is the sole impetus in the universe? Does this prove intelligent design? That which inspires action could be even the influence of those around you, as almost 'voices' in one's head, could it not? To avoid a three page discussion on free will, I'll skip ahead to my conclusion: thought, being the intrinsic action, is not a decisive force, but the limiting out of all other possible forces. In a very real way, then, the action, (being the thought) is the exclusion, not the thing itself. The resulting material manifestation is the instinctual habit of the body as the thrall of the mind. The action is the negative, or projection, of the action. To throw the ball is the result of the mind limiting out all other possibilities except for throwing the ball, et cetera et cetera.
