The belief that one exerts more influence over events than one actually has. I.e, being superstitious, or OCD with a positive goal in mind. It is the belief that we can control everything around us with our minds through activity, thought, and sometimes habit.
Everyone, in some ways, has magically thought before. It's a popular activity we have used a lot in our youth. The saying "step on a crack break your mothers back" is Magical Thinking. The hope that a stop light will turn green when you drive up to it, is magical thinking. These, of course, are small examples, compared to the grand mind controlling changes magical thinking can actually some up to.
My friend is the type of person who will cross the street at a crosswalk, keeping her eyes on the WALK light. She thinks, if i make it to the other side before it starts flashing DONT WALK, I'll have a good day. Conversely, she believes that if the light changes while she's still crossing, something, "vague but definitely bad" may occur. This is the type of magical thinking that is dependent on what's happening around us. Keep in mind, sometimes it can turn into extremes, like masochism, or martyrs syndrome, because there relies the hope that something eventually rewarding will happen. But this only happens to the less fortunate who can't control their mind well enough. Some are better than others. The more positive coincidences, the more powerful of a magical thinker you are.
Hey look at steve over there, his life is going wonderfully, he must be a good at magical thinking!

To think clearly.
To think without confusion or interruption.
To assemble one's thought in the order they had intended to.
"I just can't seem to think straight with those buzzing fluorescent lights around."

A subtle influence on a highly self-regarding and insular discussion group that deludes them into agreeing to dubious assumptions and plans on the basis that everyone else seemed to think it was a good idea... or at least no one wanted to be the one to speak up in dissent.
It mentally shortcuts past the process of examining risks and alternatives, assuming that of course the others have taken them into due consideration.
The Bay of Pigs invasion is often cited as a disasterous example of group think; how could the "best and the brightest" engineered such a fiasco?

way of saying: 'to aknowledge something coming at you, both literally and metaphorically, in a quick way because life is short and you gotta think fast!'
Marco: "Do you have a light?"
Polo: "Think fast!" (throwing the lighter at Marco)

Also known as the “4am Party,” the Thinking Party is a time where the homies gather together in a PlayStation party and think. The thought process is amplified by the late night vibes. It is often a depressing atmosphere and can be unpleasant. The Thinking Party can begin any time after 2am, but is usually triggered by a deep thought.
“Yo it’s 2am, the Thinking Party will commence 😔”
“Shut yo stupid ass up nobody cares if ur depressed goofy ass nigga”
A state of mind of perpetual kinkness. Everything, no matter the subject, turn twisted and kinky.
No matter who’s talking to me about what, my kink think is always in control.
