A brain seeks to maintain attention. It will do so by whatever means it can.

You don’t understand… a brain seeks to maintain attention. It will do so by whatever means it can. There isn’t a lot of conceptual difference between your brain and strings of christmas lights. It wants the lights on. What’s the problem? some of us have better wiring, some of us are more wired together, or more compartmentalized, some of us have more wiring some of us have more lights, and some of us evolved the ability to get attention at different levels of our brain’s development: sensory, physical, emotional, empathic, systematic, and rational. and yes, that’s a hierarchy of development, and no we aren’t equal. It takes better wiring and more lights with more current to feed reason over time than it does to eat ice cream or watch porn.
