Is there a consensus on what 'a thought' even is? There seem to be a lot of assumptions in this idea that I'm not sure are justified, like that 'thoughts' are discreet, localized events in the brain and that mental energy is like a battery powering thoughts and not an affective state.

It's like stepping into a dream that you've been dreaming as long as you can remember and finding out that the dream is more real than your life.
