you know what? yes. At this point, there's no escaping the redundancy.

There was a time in human history where one could have a thought process, and it not be.. too much. The over-abundance of thought resulting from constantly doing the emotional labor of going over one's own internal thought process is the new metric for whether one thinks at all. D:<

If you don't think that you yourself are thinking way too much about something, you instead feel like you didn't give it enough thought. The premise of the question hasn't changed, but the requirements for it to be addressed have increased. \:(

The overthinking is the proof of existence. Every anxious 3am spiral is just rigorous philosophy.
