get raped by an Indian shaman

What doth life?

sitting quietly doing nothing, not trying to think about anything would probably be beneficial to anybody that is constantly mentally active (ie refreshing an aboriginal cave painting board 20 times an hour)

Youre not afraid of being in your own company are you?

"Thinking of nothing" is a misconception about meditation. You are to simply let your mind wander trying not to dwell on what ideas manifest.

its nothing more than a waste of time where you could be doing something else more productive.
even fuckign around on 4chan is time better well spent

Yeah. It's backed up by science.

Just meditate for 10 minutes every day and you're good. But be consistent.

>for no reason
some days ago somebody posted this on /tv/ and then suddenly people picked it up again

Been at it for a couple of months. Am 11 or so hours in according to Headspace. It's a total scam. Despite my best efforts I am still unable to kill people, destroy things and shred the very fabric of reality with my mind.

I am feeling calmer, more focused and productive, less stressed and happier, though, so it hasn't been a total loss.

there are different kinds of meditation. one kind is to reach a state where you are not actively or passively engaged in conceptual thinking

There is more to life... than life

While this would apply things (intellectually) accessible to them, like games, shows etc Normalfags won't into it, there's a reason why they flock to trash. It's beyond them

Apply to most things*

Yes most people who work out can benefit from Samatha meditation

People who have bad habits, mental afflictions, self destructive, bad tits can use Samatha vs Vipassana


And yes there's scientific evidence of brain and overall benefits
