This is similar to the risk of sleepwalking through life and living in your head instead of being where you are and richly experiencing everything you encounter. It is an extension of woke where you realise that you are filtering your experience through your ego. Thinking that you are separate and superior to others. Constant thinking is an affliction.
Try a day of thinking less and experiencing more without judging what you see and hear. Listen without interrupting or correcting.
Be woke and just be.
