So I skipped this like I skip 95% of psych studies but I am assuming they used a random assortment of undergrads like usual? Frankly the whole science can fuck right off I would've shocked myself too and then done my thinking at the damn coffee shop. An interesting question for hubski, maybe -- what's the longest time you've ever sat and thought. We've got loads of meditators here. I once spent two hours in total silence while climbing down a mountain, composing a eulogy, and it was perfect, to Neil Armstrong. Wrote the whole thing. Recited it mentally, forgot it. Very good two hours.
