I cannot meditate either because my mind is not capable of going into a suspended mode of operation. I am too connected to everything around me to just simply close down and shut off all outside stimulus. I exist in the natural world therefore I am in a connected state 24x7. My mind can find peace in its own way by simply ignoring my body, a sort of transcendent state if it requires a label. I am my mind first and my body second so perhaps that is like meditation but on a more discreet level.
I've never believed in that mystical eastern stuff because I am already connected to nature and I don't see how doing some zen bullshit makes that any different. I've always considered meditation as some sort of BS that low-IQ people do to convince themselves they are more capable in the mind than they really are. I can't do it because it's not real.
^ This exactly. I’ve known spiritual people all my life and they always came out to be the dumbest ones, using some fairy tales magic talk to explain things that are easily explained with empirical evidences.
They are like low-IQ people trying to pretend they are autistic.
No wonder most of that bullshit (meditation, yoga…) comes from that shithole called India.
Meditation came from that region, but not from shitskins. It came from our Aryan ancestors. The earliest depictions of Buddha show him with red hair and a curly red beard.
Meditation is practiced by low-IQ anyway, no matter who came up with it. Its purpose is obvious enough.

People that can meditate are most likely the ones that don't have an internal monologue at all. I always have one main thing on my mind and a few other 'background processes'. Why would I even want to shut it out? I need to think about those things ffs.
So let me get this straight:
You have a voice talking in your head at all times? What exactly does it tell you to do?
All your base are belong to us
on a loop
Don't you have the same? It's internal monologue, not dialog.

Yes the background processes are essential to my life. Those processes are great for problem solving. They automatically set themselves and report back to me when they have milestone information or a solution ready to go. I cannot imagine life without background processes and I absolutely cannot imagine not having an internal monologue. Those without either are truly NPCs and don't really matter in the world as they contribute nothing.
Ya and sometime ctrl alt del wont end a process or two
