I don't think that makes any sense.

Thinking is an extension of feeling, so if you can't feel, you can't think.

We know that the higher cognitive functions of the brain ('thinking') 
are built on top of the more primitive ones ('feeling'), using the same 
neural mechanisms. Thinking without feeling would be like music without 
notes or a meal without food.
