Thoughts?

me: This morning I had the epiphany, maybe false, that the brain is horribly fucked up in that it's wired so that correlation implies causation.
Like how if you're happy, you smile, and if you smile, you get happy.
What the hell is with that.
Claire: Haha, I don't know.
me: And the potential for crazy feedback loops like I think happens during jhana in meditation. You get happier and more relaxed and compassionate and more accepting of yourself, which causes you get get happier and more relaxed and compassionate and accepting of yourself, until you reach this ridiculous altered state that feels like you're enlightened. How is the brain set up so that it's possible to do that just by focusing on your breath and relaxing for 5 minutes? WTF.
Claire: Everything has its bugs.
