Deep dives
Thoughts can multiply and become complicated if dwelled upon
In this podcast episode, the host uses the movie Gremlins as a metaphor to explain how thought works. The host compares thoughts to the Mogwai creatures in the film, explaining that when you dwell on a thought, it multiplies and becomes more complex, similar to how the Mogwai multiply when they get wet. Thoughts tend to expand and veer off from the original focus, leading to overthinking and unnecessary complications. Therefore, the host suggests not to get thoughts 'wet' by dwelling on them excessively in order to avoid the multiplication and complexity that can arise.
