Psychological research shows that our mental “central executive” is amazingly limited - we can process only one thought at a time, at a meager rate of five or ten per second at most. This is rather surprising. Isn’t the human brain supposed to be the most massively parallel machine on earth? Feb 16, 2023
Will’s thoughts looks like mine every time I’ve ever tried to meditate. My brain uses it as an excuse to crank itself up with all sorts of anxieties & other unpleasant stuff!
Squirrels actually have very large brains relative to their body mass. I suspect they appear ‘squirrelly’ because they think too much. They are very adept at learning new tasks, too. Anyone who feeds birds can vouch for that.

Sorry Will, can’t tell, I never reached the no-thought-stadium. :-D

Must be half-asleep, can’t work this one out.

Men can do this all the time, have no thoughts—it is due to our thin corpora collosa. Very restful it is . .

Will has gotten more contentious lately! Maybe it’s the holidays.

Not sure what the squirrel is on about, other than it’s a squirrel…

Well Will, he obviously has at least one thought about you! Now doesn’t he?
