You're rather judgmental and cynical. Do you have any real experience with meditation? Something tells me you don't. It sure seems like if entire cultures practice it, there must be something to it.
- robotresearcher 16y ago> It sure seems like if entire cultures practice it, there must be something to it. See also clitoral circumcision, death penalty for apostasy and homosexuality, and other popular cultural practices. There are many things that are widely believed and not true. The claimed benefits of meditation should be available to scientific scrutiny, so we can actually know one way or the other. No need for faith or appeal to common practice.
- cylinder714 16y agoGoogle "meditation research"--people have been doing precisely that over the last few years. Also, please don't lump meditation in with those other practices until you've learned more about it.
