I thought this was clever, and it all makes sense to me!
My favorite line because of the great aliteration: "A general idea may be the genesis of a whole species of specific ideas"...
This reads very well out loud.
I liked the repitition in the first paragraph; grabbed my attention right away and set the "pace" for the piece.
Liked all the questions in the third and fourth paragraphs, as they not only invited me to participate, but helped me to get a feel for what you were getting at.
I felt it was very well thought out and excellently laid out; I had no trouble following the stream of inner musing.
Great read; thoroughly enjoyed it; glad I found it!

Have a wonderful day!
