Wonderful topic. My "profession" is contemplating, but you're right, it's good to distinguish these things.

I now have a name for My regular daily practice. At times I feel guilty for doing so. Well, not anymore. Thank you

I think one reason to do this is that original thoughts are the least influenced by external sources and other people, and thus is unique to only oneself.

Good video. I have plenty of original thoughts, which I suppose is why one of my life-long goals is to write a philosophical book.
If time spent for synthesising original ideas is directly correlated with socialisation (like you say in the video), then I'm the most original person out there (or inside his room)

I have started having quiet time. There is so much noise in my head.
I wonder how much time it takes for the noise to die down.
Really craving for original ideas.

I feel like I contemplate wayyy too much. To where my thoughts become too much for me to bare. Even a simple question is forcibly rejected by my conscience.

The problem with this frame of mind is groupthink is not 'bad' but useful to the wise; that a real Sage uses groupthink to his advantage, to get to a state of materialistic stability, from where he can cultivate his spiritual practice
