This has cause/effect backwards.

Writing for me anyway is more like a general anxiety release valve.

Thinking is we just do without external tools as we reassess frame to frame due to the world around us not being static; we develop object permanence of a tree for a while but are burning calories to replace on a much shorter timeline; whole lot of physical state still updating on shorter timelines than a tree; so our brains automatically always wipe and refresh the canvas as a natural consequence of relative entropy

We track these deltas and how to deal with them; writing helps deal with scenarios where there is no roof to fix to stay sheltered. What do I do with these thoughts with nowhere to go; I have food, I have shelter? Writing.
