Thanks for the info. Appreciated.

"Particularly fat"

Fat contains lipids, not nutrients save the fat soluble ones.

No organism can sustain a high level of anxiety. We're talking about the purpose of the universal default state of mind. It can't be a state of high anxiety.

Does this undermine my point ?Or underline it? For the first 5,000 years of human civilization, slavery was an accepted institution by all peoples everywhere.

To say it's unhappy is not quite right, it's problem solving and running simulations whose goal is naturally and properly a source of low level anxiety - how to secure this organisms future well being.

That wandering mind is conducting probability analysis on potential future events and circumstances or the same calculation on the actual nature of past events. It is trying to secure its future security, to form an ugly phrase.

That's what this organism does with its mind. It runs simulations to try to predict the future in an if this, then that sort of way. That's its natural state. Seems harsh to call that "unhappy".

Productive reasoning, the kind of mental activity we are proud of and covet, in this context, is really less like thinking and more like acting, like engaging in affirmative, directed action.

I don't know about the blanking out part, but the rest of the description sounds like a regular human being. That intense daydreaming is, while not everyone's state, pretty typical of people generally. People with powerful brains just experience things intensely or deeply, including their own reverie. You should harness some of that horsepower.

But you always knew that, because it's obvious

It's called reverie. The stream of thinking that you naturally have when you're not deliberately trying to focus.

Essentially, one thought leading to another which leads to another and so on, without you having to make any effort.

Most people identify so much with their thinking, they aren't aware of it as a "thing"; it feels like it's something you're doing.

What are you thinking about?

But if you try to just pay attention, say to your breath, going in and out, after a few seconds you'll discover you slipped back into thinking, as described above, back into reverie.

Continued failure, despite your increasing resolve, to stay just listening to your breath reveals this fact: you can't stop "your" thinking mind from recapturing your attention.

So it seems like a monkey, that is, a thing which jumps around, from thought to thought, a separate entity from you, one which will not obey you.

Your body requires nutrients to function. Deliberately depriving your cells of those nutrients can't possibly be good for them and likely does them harm. You evolved to survive such catastrophes of course, but the key word is "survive".

What states of mind can be induced by fasting is a separate consideration, it seems to me.

It appears the prosecutor believes the defendant should have, or did, know(n) that ai generated music cannot be copyrighted. The defense has to be he tweaked the output in some creative way where creative is defined very broadly.

I don’t know, are these vids kept on an SD card or otherwise accessible via Tesla corp.? Why doesn't this same principle apply to home cams, where the cops have to ask permission for the footage?Seems like an obvious question. Tesla codes for Musk and Musk now codes right, so if you're being honest you have to at least entertain the idea this is meant to decrease the cost benefit analysis of owning a Tesla.
