Tl;dr - Control your emotions, learn to see logic for what it is, by doing so you’ll learn to see life for what it truly is

I believe this actually is the key point in the deepest understanding of redpill; when you understand this, holding frame comes as a consequence and as you all know, when you’re holding frame people won’t run you over. This type of thinking is what allows you to get (almost) any pussy you want and it’s what allows you to become a millionaire. This is what Redpill teaches you, but I’ve never seen it defined in its most true form so I’ll do what I can to explain it as to what it is.

Overthinking healthy vs unhealthy

What is the concept of overthinking, abstract thinking and how can it be utilized and what are the risks to avoid?

Overthinking is the consequence of being analytical. If you’re analytical, you look for answers and this may be good but it may also be your devastation. There are two different ways of thinking, and that is emotionally and logically. Emotional thinking is the reason that you love your mom and logical thinking is the reason why you don’t shoot yourself in the foot.

Unhealthy overthinking

To be an unhealthy overthinker means that you’re overthinking in an emotional way. This is also what keeps you from living your life to the fullest. Life is about survival, but what is life without a spark? The spark itself comes from risks, and by overthinking emotionally you’re killing the spark. This would be the reason why you wouldn’t follow your dreams as well.

Technically, the closer you are to death, the more you’re living life. When you realize ‘that shit could have killed me’ you also appreciate being alive to the fullest. To live life to the fullest, you have to have a spark in it. When you’re living life without any spark, you’re taking life for granted. To take life for granted makes your life rather boring, sure you may live longer if you don’t gamble with your life but your life become rather grey than nuanced, and how fun is that in the end? To not take things in your everyday life for granted is impossible, because it’s a consequence of habitual thinking. It’s something that our brain has evolutionary decided ‘this is the way to go’. However, the more you challenge your structural habitual thinking, the more you’re also programming into yourself the habit of breaking habitual thinking, and paradoxically in itself this allows you to live more. To risk things is to challenge your habitual structure, because what a risk fundamentally is is something that you’re not used to do and because of that you don’t know how it’ll end up. An example of a risk is quitting your daily job and follow your dream. What differs successful entrepreneurs from the mob is that they turn away from their emotional overthinking and they are willing to take the risk for their better good. They follow their dream, despite that there is a risk that they’re going to fail. They do this by having a vision, and to have a vision you’ll have to be an abstract thinker. To be an abstract thinker, you’ll have to have both emotional thinking and logical thinking im your arsenal but the first step to reach abstract thinking (more on this later) is to be a healthy overthinker. You have to learn to control your emotions

Healthy overthinking

To be a healthy overthinker, one has to apply logical thinking rather than emotional thinking. To argue from your feelings is something that’s stupid because feelings are illogical and out of a argumentative perspective this is something bad, since the best arguments are structured with logic. Emotional overthinking is something that you apply when you don’t go and talk to that attractive girl; what if she rejects me, what if I embarrass myself? These are thoughts that involve your negative feelings. The reason that you even consider to approach the girl from the beginning is because of positive feelings; Ugh, Chad want smash. Other than the latter type of feelings, you want to leave out because they affect you negatively. After your positive feelings has decided that you want to tap that ass, you’ll have to apply logical thinking. To be a logical thinker you’ll have to put all your feelings aside; positive and negative. This is where you have to start looking at pros and cons with the girl, because your positive feelings can affect you negatively as well. The best way to find out if you’re actually interested in a girl more than just sex is masturbating and then ask yourself if you still would enjoy talking to her; I don’t encourage you to masturbate but if you really want to know if you want anything more than just her pussy, this is a quick way to find out. In my opinion, one of the worst feelings in an engaging situation with a girl is when you’ve had sex and there is nothing to talk about. These girls in question is only sexually stimulating, and if you’re thinking like me that’s boring in the long run. I’d never plate a girl without a brain.

If the pros with a girl is: HB9, nice rack of tits and a firm booty, and the cons are: she’s close to mentally retarded, father’s complex, looking for a sugar daddy, then she’s simply not worth it. Would you eat your favorite dish if you knew that it’d kill you?

You’ll have to see past your natural instincts and see to what you actually want and need. This is where you have to evolve a strong sense of logical thinking. You have to be able to argue with and to yourself on what’s best for you in the end. Some ways to learn this is to learn critical thinking, and if you’re really interested in learning logical thinking you should join a debate club. To learn critical thinking, you don’t have to join a debate club but you should rather question every opinion you have. To truly be able to reason for something, you have to understand the counterpart for your position as well. This is why Jordan Peterson rewrote every sentence in his book 10 times, and the reason why it took him 15 years to complete the book; literally every argument he made in the book, he tried to come up with a way to counter it. His goal was to reach the endpoint of which there wasn’t any possible way for him to break down his own arguments. This is what separates the true intellectuals from basic intellectuals, basic intellectuals from normies and normies from actual retards (even if the last ones might be correlated). However, by possessing solely logical thinking doesn’t make you a true artist of thinking.

To go beyond logical and emotional thinking

To truly master the art of thinking, you will have to master both logical thinking AND emotional thinking. For this, I’ll take Jordan Peterson as an example again. Jordan Peterson is highly intellectual in logical thinking and I’d guess this is because he’s always been an overthinker. Overthinkers generally overthink emotions as well, and Jordan Peterson has done this as well. He’s been struggling with depression, and it appears to me that he’s been able to come out of his depression. He was able to use his logical overthinking to sort out his emotional overthinking, and that’s why he’s such a damn good psychologist. He’s been in the deepest parts of emotional overthinking, but has been able to climb out of those depths with logical overthinking.

To reach the art of abstract thinking, you can’t just use logical thinking but you’ll have to feel and use emotional thinking as well. This is why people with autism and aspergers are considered smart, but never the smartest. The art of abstract thinking is when one has combined these two ways of thinking. The most respected thinkers are those who have one foot in logical thinking and one foot in emotional thinking. You can’t explain emotions with logical thinking, in the same same way you can’t explain logic with emotional thinking. One has to form a bridge between these two to reach true insight. You have to learn where to apply logical thinking, and where to apply emotional thinking; if you learn these, you can combine them, and with logic explain your feelings (why you feel like you feel) or with feelings explain the background of your logic (why you think like you think). To truly understand someone else’s feelings, you’ll have to be able to be able to feel, and to truly understand someone else’s logic, you’ll have to be able to think (logical that is). Learn to separate these two, see them for what they truly are in themselves, then combine them. Master them both and not even the sky will be a limit.
