Systems thinking is my superpower, and funny enough, I'm convinced I started doing it to deal with a brain that seems to easily become overwhelmed. As an example, it can be overwhelming to try to individually understand the participants in the US economy, their motivations, and the consequences of their actions. Some people excel at ingesting, memorizing, and understanding large amounts of information like this. For me, the solution was to compress this information into something I can hold in my mind's eye by understanding the underlying systems and realizing that something that seems complex is actually a beautiful and relatively simple machine. Do this enough, and you start to think like this by default and quickly realize that everything is a machine of sorts, and some of them could benefit from a few new parts.
For anyone who wants to read more about this skill and work to develop it on their own, "Thinking in Systems" by Donella Meadows is a great book on the topic.
