Do not agree. Music is a reflection of structure and order. It is not

I am assuming this person does not nor has not ever played music. I will
also assume anyone who does, or at least anyone who has reached even a
basic level of mastery, would not agree with him on this.

Any musician who can really improvise or jam does not 'think' about what
to play next. They just do it. Even among composers it is common to
remark that they have 'no idea' where the music came from which they had
just put to paper. This is also true for the other arts if not many other
human activities in general.

What is the point of practice if not to be able to act without thought?
