well, yeah...
everyone "thinks" all the time. but the problem is that it's 99% chatter. media messages feed into this chatter. chatter chatter chatter. garbage in/garbage out.
to think WELL requires... silence. and yeah that is not taught or promoted. only chatter & brainwash.
meditation... actually helps stop the chatter.
but yes to what you say-- i have the same problem with yoga, btw. i do it with great reluctance and embarrassment. it's undoubtedly great, and i love the effects of daily practice, but the whole social trend around it is like a repellent field force. people who say "namasté"-- ugh. the whole industry around it. and fashions. i wish there was something else but i function better when i do it.
still-- baby/bathwater.
