    I've heard some refer to deep thinking as mental masturbation. I guess there is some truth to this, as thinkers get off on thinking. But, is it wrong?

    Wrong? No, not in and of itself. But if ones "deep thinking" keeps them from providing for their loved ones, letting them starve to death, it might be considered "wrong".

    But all-in-all, what does "deep thinking" accomplish? And even more to the point, what the fuck is ...."deep thinking"?

    A eureka moment is always nice. Still no reason to run around nude in the streets when you've discovered your million dollar ID though.
    Further on theirs nothing wrong with keeping your mind sharp especially if you have a dull job

    "Deep thinking" is runnning down the objections to the objections. Looking at all the aspects. Taking an enormous amount of time in thinking on one particular topic. Most people do not think deeply. They reflect a moment and then decide. This may be efficient, but it lends itself to missing very important points.

    Humans would probably cease to exist if they did that very often! In fact, if humans had done that much in the old days, we wouldn't even be here talking about it.

    And how could anyone make any decisions if they did such "deep thinking" all the time?

    Besides, people that did that sure wouldn't have many friends, if any, would he?

    If deep thinking is called mental masturbation then would posting about it be considered throwing your pearls to the swine?

    No. Because deep thinking is only called mental masturbation by the ignorant, who probably also have sex with pigs.

    Deep thinking is pointless if you have a shit for brains.

    YES, I agree with this person.

    I find that everytime I find myself mentally masturbating, I also have found myself pig fucking. Its quite a sight for the unprepared.

    No it isnt, and physical masturbation isnt wrong either. I guess its the word masturbation that prompted you to ask the question ?
