We can only do what occurs to us, and what occurs to our brains is not in our control. If so, you would somehow think the thoughts before you think them. The universe is unfolding the one and only way it possibly can.
But humans are computers. Just confused ones. Thinking should be used to reduce confusion, not to increase it :)
