I actually have tried meditation before and found that I never had fewer thoughts. I actually had more because I wasn't distracted. But, I had severe anxiety. One key thing I got out of it was to let thoughts flow like a river instead of trying to create a dam in the middle of it.
Maybe I missed something the first time I tried it, but it was a healthy experiment.
My attempt at humour aside, I think it's fine to 'go with the flow' 😑👍 Have you read Avi' book "24"? You may experience something like that, or zero thoughts at all. I think it's all valid.
I'm not sure I believe in the idea that a brain can have zero thought. But you start getting into the weeds of philosophy to define what thought even is and whether it happens at different levels of consciousness.
