I'm trying to think (I could probably stop the post right here) about how to simplify things. Thoughts, knowledge, ideas in particular. I'm not the type that organizes thoughts or concepts in my mind well. My brain is very much an autobahn--a mass of sheer movement. And trying to isolate one individual entity creates a rupture in the flow, and a multi-unit wreck occurs. Then I have a whole jumble of ancillary thoughts, words, and quips stuck together. And finally I open my mouth and the by-product of that freak process enters the world. Unfortunate.
The process of teaching and explanation is difficult for me because of the need to work within categories. Usually the category is called "ways to say stuff so people understand stuff." Well, I avoid that category because...I can't get into it. With so much to say and so much emotion and pathos behind it, it becomes hard to not sandbag someone with all I got.
