I'm not sure I'd agree that people are 'thinking' too much.... But they are definitly conceptualizing things and problems in irrational ways. But they are also 'doing' too much. They are constantly knee-jerk acting on poor thinking leading to incredibly odd outbursts. (I recently at a 50+ year old ranting about the fragility of Gen Z and yet, when poked, acted like a triggered SJW. Literally, acting the extreme of the role he condemned)
What I think is missing is Critical Thinking. That is the ability to learn, unlearn and relearn and also to form, unform, and reform ideas while applying logic to test them.
Because I find when I do that, I often don't ever take action. I borrow from the Daoist concept of Wu Wei and apply intentional non action becasue I did think, and therefore I don't have to (re)act.
Wasn't talking about people in general. Just the nerds like me who are power users of internet. Skepticism is good but in excess it breeds inaction and makes you boring. Sometimes you need the "fuck it, I'm doing it" attitude to win big.
