Drowning

Drowning, also known as the Reflectiveness gap, is one of the Nine plagues

The reflectiveness gap is the dichotomy of two different ways

Wantonness and Analysis Paralysis are two contrasting extremes of acting on your rationality

Wantonness is acting solely on instincts, and ignoring your rationality.

Analysis paralysis is being trapped analyzing everything. Where you cannot make a decision because you are trapped analyzing everything

The vaccine for the Reflectiveness Gap is the Flow State

The Flow state is a state you can reach where your mind is constantly being challenged and needs to adapt accordingly

The flow state is an optimization of the mind and focus sometimes called “being in the zone”, it is a state that can actively be cultivated and is a product of a balance between challenge and skill

History
Seems to be no ancient history directly addressing drowning
