unnecessary thoughts are so annoying

[Fred Stankovich]

you think one completely random thought and, within the next 10 thoughts, it spirals into you remembering 1 cringe moment you had 10 years ago or starting one of those imaginary arguments with someone you know, leading to a cortisol spike

i wish we could install chatgpt type large language model into our brains that would predict and calculate the chance for certain thoughts/themes to follow after thoughts involving certain concepts, and simply instruct the model to block those thoughts and make 1 step back in the thought tree
