I don't believe in spontaneous thought. Here's a simple argument:
Okay, have a spontaneous thought...... See! That supposedly spontaneous thought of yours wasn't spontaneous, it occurred precisely after I asked.
But then you respond, "but I can have a thought here, now. BAM. And another one there, soon, finally, now. BAM" Sorry buddy, your "spontaneous" thoughts occurred precisely after you were axed on by my ruse.
