Thinking Multiplies, It Doesn't Subtract

  • Human thinking lacks subtraction and division; it only adds and multiplies thoughts.
  • Trying to forcefully remove a thought makes the mind produce many more of the same.

  • Don't treat thought suppression as a moral duty; forcing yourself not to think becomes a full-time job.
  • Stop moralizing your mind and instead observe how the thinking mechanism operates.
