Hmmm. Then you don't know you are thinking, hence do you think at all?

I think there is a definition problem here. I agree that a lot of (my) 
thinking does not manifest itself as a reasoning in words. At an 
non-descriptive abstraction level, similarly to the fact that I don't dream 
in "pictures", and that I can't recall a "picture" or "music" in memory.
I would not call this "non-cognitive" thinking, as I can be in an active state 
of resolving a problem, only doing that and will be distracted by the 
"distractions in Asia".

I will make this my "banner of life". Or maybe not...

Who cooks the better food? Who would be more miserable without the other?
