This was largely my purpose for raising my question in the first place. I would indeed like to be able to retrieve an accurately-tuned solution to a problem when I am immediately presented with it, however in my experience this is largely impossible for the kinds of deeply-rooted personal issues that affect, and are effected by, the wide number of external factors that can only be ignored or written off at considerable cost. Instead, these answers take weeks, months, even years to germinate as previously hidden information reveals itself, as I exhaust possible courses of action and unearth new opportunities, and as the dynamics within my own universe change.

And even then, I normally obtain only vague notions. Applying them as fully fleshed-out solutions can be counterproductive or dangerous. After all, they are mere hypothesis that have yet to be bathed in the brine of my own reality and then assessed to determine whether or not they can be implemented.

Attempting to assess these notions on my own, however, can be just as dangerous. I am a human being. I have flaws, biases, and blind spots that can inhibit my own thinking. These defects will always impact my own ability to arrive at a beneficial conclusion, as they often provoke me into writing off evidence that contradicts my self-imposed standards. Dialogues such as this are helpful in allowing one to accept, however reluctantly, a reality that one already "knows" of. External analysis (especially on sites such as 4chan, where anonymity provides me with the licence to speak more freely than would be productive or considered appropriate in face-to-face conversations with people I can trust) provides differing points of view: new lenses through which I can view old problems from different angles and/or under different lights.

Through this process, important connections are unobscured and taken into account. The end result is a solution that is better-tuned for my particular situation.
