    If thinking per stuff happening leads to mental state, and overthinking makes you anxious, that could be:

    (2 × thinking) / happenings = anxiety

    If you still have the same anxiety and think the regular amount we’d have to move stuff around and get:

    thinking / anxiety = happenings / 2

    Half the stuff is happening. So stuff would be underhappening, no?

      The formula is

      thinking ratio * events badness percentage = stress

      so when event badness is up to 200%, you need to think at 1/4 power to feel anywhere close to normal
