As soon as you express a single opinion of your own, or at least an opinion neither you nor anyone else around you can trace with any degree of precision, you are liable to experience an avalanche of strange thoughts. They will bubble up in profusion, as if they have always been there, eagerly waiting to come to the surface. This is a dangerous pursuit, though. And especially if you are longish in the tooth. Soon enough you will be inundated by opinions no-one else would wish to seriously consider, let alone share with you in good faith. By and by, you will cease being an eccentric and become an elderly person pure and simple.
