  I'm guessing mushrooms and/or some sort of stimulant.

    Thinking about where ideas come from is valuable. This thing that I'm intuiting, but don't have a firm logical path to prove or explain: - Is it actually grounded in subconscious observations of real things, and things that I'm learning but cannot yet articulate? - Or is it just something that I made up and I'm pursuing uncritically? Being able to tell the difference more of the time saves a lot of effort.

  GP is saying that there are hunches that are not ready for primetime but which are creative thought nonetheless, and which need to be worked with before they can become workable. It's a good thought, echoed by quotes from other designers like Alden Dow, as well as theologians, scientists, and engineers. Not an encouraging way of letting GP know you encountered difficulty in engaging the nonstandard phrasing. GP was trying to discuss the phenomenon without disclosing his or her hypothesis directly.
