Speculation is actually Is the word for "thinking outside of the lines".
Speculation is the ability to think outside of the lines. It it entertaining a thought without accepting it. And it is also required in making ANY new breakthrough or discovery. If you don’t ponder and speculate, all you get is the same routine of functions on repeat. But if you do speculate, its like stepping into a thick fog bank and planning to walk 20 feet just to see if theres anything there, and as it turns out there is something om the other side. You get there and make the cinnection and have a mind blowijg WOW! and then go back across to tell people that never went beyond the fog and they refuse to listen because “that’s just speculation” they say. Well, so you think. But the former person is a more capeable being for being able to do so; thinking and acting for themself. Having sudden ideas and strokes of inspiration and running off beyond the fog to go find it, sometimes coming back more enlightened. The latter individual though, more closely relates to someone who is a mere observer of the circuit of life they made for themselves. Never really aiming for anything greater than what they have already achieved. If you like my content, please share it :)
