Regardless of who or what wrote it, the article is insubstantial, pseudo-intellectual blather. It reads like a fourth grader mocking grown-up problems by throwing around words he doesn't understand.

The following is completely nonsensical, and occurs very early in the article, right after the general introduction:

"Over-Thinking (OT) is the act of trying to come up with ideas that have already been thought through by someone else. OT usually results in ideas that are impractical, impossible, or even stupid."

The only reason to keep reading after this is just to see what other bullshit has been heaped on, like not being able to take your eyes away from a train wreck.

I didn't visit the story when it appeared (regardless of its upvotes) because the very title smelled of self-helpy twaddle. I would for sure have flagged it.

That behavior may be a clue as to what happened. The submission title was crafted in such a way as to deter "nonsense-averse" users from clicking on it, and that may have helped it evade flagging. If a submission evades flags, the only other points it can get are upvotes.
