This case study examines the effects of overthinking on cognitive function in individuals who have been exposed to excessive amounts of existential dread.
Methodology:
Participants were subjected to a series of increasingly complex thought experiments, designed to induce maximum mental anguish.
Results:
Our results show a strong correlation between overthinking and decreased cognitive function. However, we were unable to replicate the results due to our own existential dread.
