You own your brain in the same sense that you own modern devices, you own it but also can't really modify it and there is some closed source shit that really control it

Make our brains FOSS! Why can’t I just tell my brain that now is sleeping time and it will just sleep?!

Meditation is one way of getting control of your brain.

I suspect that most people who have a meditation practice would disagree with this assertion.

Meditation only helps me be more aware of what the brain is doing / making me do. I can’t control it and I’d argue that neither can anyone else. Free will in the common sense is an illusion.

I‘m refering the title with „control“ However, bringing thoughts & feelings into the direction you like to, compared to be just overwhelmed, is a sort of control.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct
