Distraction.
How often is it that you watch a movie, read a book or have a conversation with a friend and think; "Wow. That just blew my mind."
Your brain instantly flies off on the wings of imagination, deductive reasoning and or awe-inspired stupor. You have original thought, you want to write it down, tell everyone, or crawl up in a ball and long for the womb.
And then something else comes on the TV, or someone walks past you and tosses a cigarette butt at your feet and it's lost. You had just intuitively grasped moral relativism, planned a zombie apocalypse musical for theaters, discovered something really fucking awesome - and then just forgot. Then you stand there, face-palm, and waste the next couple of minutes thinking about it.
Or perhaps you're a little bit more savvy. You ignore the cigarette butt and continue your train of thought, careering down the rabbit hole at a phenomenal pace, the world suddenly making so much sense around you. Then you get to the bottom, and likely forgot where you started, or ended up back there any how.
So at the end of the day; these moments are more frequent under the influence of alcohol, these little epiphanies, just leave us disappointed. Like leprechauns, you can't catch them by hiding in the bushes all day and waiting, believe me I've tried and it's the only thing the exercise taught me. There must be a better way.
For otherwise what is the use? Am I supposed to start carrying around a notebook everywhere I go?
