I get what you’re saying. However, I find the terminology problematic. The term Physical Thinking is generally understood to be interchangeable with the term Visceral Thinking. Both are predominantly linked with the right hemisphere of the brain, which is NOT normally associated with logic and reason, as far as I know. Physical Thinking is (once again, by my understanding) about the assimilation and processing of viscerally registered stimuli and therefore tends to be a modality of empathy. It is intrinsic to intuitive thinking and aesthetic judgement.
Anyway, my point is that adopting another term would be helpful here.

Wow, this exact same type of phrase has come up for me too many times. Why to people judge others feelings to make sure everyone is miserable like them? Your right, by “You” they really mean “I am too lazy to think like that.” I think you can blame a lot of this dishonest conversation on the media/education system. Many people are just generally confused about what their beliefs are. Then there is Science that claims to have the answer for everything. This type of rational thought, has totally destroyed spirituality and intuition. I had a long conversation with a friend who said “there is nothing out there that science can’t explain”. Its hard not to start arguing with people at that point! See he is a computer programmer, so it kinda makes sense for him to be “ultra rational”. This person is quite “smart” but only in the sense of book smarts. Working all these high paying IT jobs, really does churn out some nice little robots. Work is just a tool, it was never meant to be the whole purpose of our lives. That’s how i feel, fuck ‘em!
