Get the The Thingy mug.A subset of overthinkrs which take in all of their knowledge that they know, and allow for it all to combine into a path. Which will inevitably lead nowhere. This way of thinking is obscure because it torments the thinker to all of the things that are and ever could be. It's a thinking process that trys to rationalize everything the person knows, but can't because everything is too hard to grab. Since everything is unknown because everything is everything, but everything is nothing.
