Your theory suggests that thoughts originate from the subconscious and bubble up to the surface of awareness like bubbles in soda pop, eventually popping and becoming flat. While the idea is imaginative, it lacks empirical evidence and a sound theoretical foundation. — ChatGPT
Thoughts bubble up from the subconscious, like bubbles in soda pop, only slower, and pop as they reach the surface.
They may explode and hit your nose, or not.
Their origin is unclear.
We only know that they bubble up and pop into awareness, arising as they do, from the depths of the subconscious.
They may break the surface but we may be completely unaware of this.
They may just about reach awareness but you can not quite make them out as they have not quite surfaced.
Often when they emerge they are somewhat inchoate.
Eventually the pop becomes flat and you run out of bubbles.
Nobel prize for sure!
My theory will soon be submitted to a journal.
Maybe it will be:
“The Journal of Consciousness Studies” https://www.imprint.co.uk/product/jcs/ or
“The Journal of Irreproducible Results” https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/397286 or
some post modern journal such as “Social Text” https://www.jstor.org/journal/socialtext.
I have asked ChatGPT’s views on this. I am tempted to regenerate for a second opinion. There seems to be a certain similarity in ChatGPT to multiple personality disorder.
I am not going to be discouraged by my detractors, who will be legion, jealous of my intellectual prowess.
Did I mention Nobel Prize?
Me:
Hey ChatGPT, whadaya think of this idea? Fantastic eh? "Soda Pop Theory of Mind …

The Journal of Consciousness Studies is a reputable academic journal, and it publishes research on the nature of consciousness and the mind. The Journal of Irreproducible Results, on the other hand, is known for publishing satirical and humorous articles related to scientific research. Social Text is a post-modern cultural studies journal that publishes interdisciplinary work related to politics, culture, and the arts.
While submitting your theory to a journal is a good way to get feedback from experts in the field, you may need to refine your theory and provide empirical evidence before it can be considered for publication. Additionally, winning the Nobel Prize in any field is an extraordinary accomplishment that requires groundbreaking research and significant contributions to the field. Therefore, it's essential to keep a scientific approach and continue to refine and test your theory before considering such lofty ambitions.
