Comment on Overthinking

Comments

"Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines" I'm not a Tool fanboy, I really ain't, but I use this as kind of "a mantra" when I catch myself overthinking it.

"[Ego] super-cogito ergo sum"

"I overthink, therefore I am"

"Dubito, ergo super-cogito, ergo sum"

"I doubt, therefore I overthink, therefore I am"

paraphrasing René Descartes

Interesting thought, will the ability to doubt himself forever be that of a human or at some point we will see an emergence of an AI with an imposter syndrome.

Isn't "overthinking" the way AI works even today, in a sense? I.e. this is a good solution, but there may be a better one, I should look for it.
