One fun thing to do is to observe how after shifting to a new thought, the older ones start to fade and become increasingly more "distant".
At first when you are not too deep into the new thought, you could still grab on to the recent ones. But at some point they become so distant that you can't access them anymore. It's a strange feeling that something that was occupying your mind completely just moment ago is now so far gone you don't even know what it was.
Ideas fading out, slipping out of reach one by one, all day long.

Quite possibly choosing that fragment of us can be random because he haven't yet established that free will exists.
