Real action implies that something tangible will come out of it... which is not really the case with thinking...

I disagree. I know lawyers who charge $700/hour for thinking. In fact, most of the highest paid people in the world get paid for thinking. They then get someone else, who isn't inclined to think to put their thoughts together into what you'd call "tangible". I believe it was Henry Ford that said "Thinking is the hardest work in the world, and that is why so few engage in it."
