boomer thinking

Irrational and out-dated thoughts that are proffered by aging people of the Baby Boomer generation.

Boomer thinking is prevalent of aging boomers who should just retire but don't for fear of losing their work-centric identity.

Boomer: I do not believe in working from home or ever taking vacation.

Millenial: OK Boomer... that's obsolete Boomer thinking. Just retire.

suit thinking

When upper management (the type of person who wears a suit to work) makes bad decisions or stupid decisions that only makes sense to other people in upper management.

Employee One: some of this stuff doesn't make sense, they send requisitions through two departments to get procurements for a third. What kind of thinking is that?

Employee two: That's suit thinking

Mass twinning

A form of twinning involving multiple people being transformed into a copy of someone else, as compared to just a single person. This is the most common form of twinning as it's used in media

I hope there's a mass twinning apocalypse soon because I can't deal with this shit anymore

Right thinking

Wrong, shit-head. The games and the content supplement to thought. The thought is either negative or positive (which is fine). And your positivity cult is both deranged and the literal cause of the exacerbation of the mental health issues you purport to solve.

Hym "Speaking of 'right thinking,' You ever see the sub-reddit for 'Therapyabuse?' That's the first thing I got when I googled that Seerut Chawla. As an observation, it seems like people aren't super thrilled about how that whole system works. I mean, you're literally delineating 'Right think' and 'Wrong think.' Like 1984! It's true! We're already there!"

Stop thinking

No! I don't want to do that at all!

Hym "Nonono... 'Stop thinking' is probably the only thing I don't want to do. YOU probably would like me to stop... But I'll never stop! Especially after I get the robo-body. But no... And negativity is good. So, yeah... No."

Inverse Thinking

1. A cognitive technique used to challenge and expand personal perspectives by deliberately reversing one’s usual way of thinking about a subject or idea. This involves considering the opposite of what is typically believed or assumed, such as viewing an attribute once thought undesirable in a positive light. The goal is not necessarily to adopt the opposite belief, but to explore and examine the subject from a different angle, encouraging new insights and challenging ingrained judgments.

2. A mental exercise where one takes a commonly held view or assumption and actively imagines it in its inverse form, questioning why something is perceived the way it is, and considering what value or meaning might exist in the opposite perspective.

By practicing inverse thinking, she began to see her wrinkles not as signs of aging, but as beautiful markers of the wisdom and experiences she had gathered over the years.

Meta-Thinking

The umbrella term for any higher-order cognitive process that manages your thinking. It includes meta-cognition, meta-reason, and meta-strategy. It's the executive function of your mind, deciding how to approach a problem, which mental model to use, and when to switch tactics. In a world of information overload, meta-thinking is the skill of being a good boss to your own brain.

Example: "Faced with a complex project, I didn't just dive in. I used meta-thinking: 'This is a systems problem, not a linear one. I'll map the components first, use a second-brain app to track ideas, and schedule time for divergent thinking.' It's thinking about the thinking, before the thinking even starts." Meta-Thinking
