What are you thinking about ?

What are people thinking? This is what I think of when I think of people. It’s not impossible that people, for their part, will also wonder what I’m thinking. As I think about what they’re thinking. At the same time, I can’t just tell people, outright, that I think what they think. Mind your thoughts, they would answer, no, but what am I interfering with? So I don’t say anything, I look at people in the metro, in stores, in the street, anywhere. And I wonder what they are thinking. You will tell me that, most of the time, people don’t think about anything. What are you thinking about ? Nothing (typical dialogue of a thinking film). But nothing is already something, said Devos. Thinking about nothing is not the same as not thinking at all. Can we not think at all? Well no. All the same. If man is a thinking reed, it is because he thinks. Whereas animals… And why wouldn’t animals think? I found a “top 10 smartest animals” on the Internet. So they think. To what? What we think, if that’s what we think. Brief. Wherever we are, wherever we go, it thinks. And to think that billions of people think at the same time (not to mention animals) is dizzying. Let’s say it: it gives food for thought. What a world could be like where everyone thinks at the same time about a fairer, freer world, all that. As Dutronc sang: I think about it and then I forget…
