My thinking is that if you'll obey them when they tell you not to bring the Lord an offering then you will obey them when they tell you to go hide while they send a disguise monster of your likeness to do who knows what.

Is it less intelligent to overthink, or underthink?

You cannot overthink. If you think you're overthinking, you're underthinking.

I think this is legitimate. When people try to size up a problem they first need to set up a mental scope and scale of the problem.

If you set up the scale too high than is necessary to fix the problem then you are "overthinking it" for example using general relativity to calculate Newtonian gravity.

If you then make a mistake in the general relativity calculation and someone corrects you by reducing your scope and telling you you can approximate the answer using newtonian physics then you were just "overthinking it".

What the OP is probably thinking is that "overthinking it" means someone was thinking so hard at something that it oversaw the answer. That is not the case.

Overthinking is a classification error where someone tries to tackle something that has a simple answer with a complex methodology.

An analogue to "overthinking" is overengineering where you design a system using more complicated solutions than the easiest way of accomplishing the same functions.

I'm an oldfag and thus I use the original way of writing that has been used on 4chan since a long time ago.

New people to 4chan assumed it came from reddit somewhere around ~2015. But the reality is that we've always written like this and I see it as a sign of oldfags keeping the original mindset of 4chan alive.

both are bad
Thinking should be seen as a resource best used sparingly.

What normalfags describe as """overthinking"""" is just their inability to filter out irrelevant information.
