I think it would be good to ask this question in <./>askh2g2</.>

I believe it is good to be able to think and find out or it wouldnt be possible to set the h2g2 and make it usefull for us here..plus life would be misserable if we have to take everyday as it comes if dont choose and plan what to do and think about it :o)

As a general rule...NO! Most of the problems I've encountered were because someone, sometimes even myself, thought.

don't do it, thinking will drive you mad!

Thinking; takes much more then just saying"oh I thought it will be ok" if the problem turns out to be wrong moves you made.

Thinking is good for you, it stimulates the mind (without Red Bull), If more people did it there wouldn't be so much hassle in the world. This would also work if people listend to their thoughts.

What about the people who hear voices that tell them to do monsterous acts

Thought on its own is not bad, it is the acting on such toughts that can make the act of thinking bad. If a person does not think enough for themselves then those of us who think too much are here to balance out the equation, the sad part of this is that while our minds are like sponges that soak up all of the information around us (even if it is on a subconscious level)most of what is out in general circulation is totally useless crap, thus lowering the quality of thought whilst quantity of thought has remained constant.

As children we are taught not to think for yourselves, that adults are better qualified to think for us. As adolesents if our thoughts run contrary to those of our parents or elders it is seen as being rebelous. In adulthood we are resigned to the fact that no matter what our thoughts those in power will do whatever the hell they want to any way. And finally in old age independant thought is seen as eccentricity. Thus creating a circular agrument that thought is in no way a freedom and that from birth to death our thoughts are regulated by a society that does not care.

so optimistic (!)

Thinking is good for you if you are thinking origional thoughts - things you thought of yourself and things that matter. If you are thinking things that have been put in your head by advertisements, the media, and stupid politicians that have no common sense then your brain is rotting more with each thought.

Politicians suck. Not all of them, but most do. The problem certainly isn't that people don't think enough, but that they don't do what they think is right cause noone else does. Most politicians also belong to this group. Nothing to tell, but much to say.

The problem here is that we're all thinking that our thoughts will be good. The problem is that what seems like a good idea to some people could be bad for others. Thinking without intelligence can lead to all sorts of problems.

Thinking should only be done in moderation and under strict supervision. You never know what might happen otherwise.

If thinking was only done under strict supervision, wouldn't that be much worse than if somebody had an bad idea he considered good? Supervision of thinking means destroying all the creativity of the human mind.
