> ...naturals at mindfulness because they have really bad time blindness... FWIW, this is not what "mindfulness" means. Mindfulness is a combination of concentration (i.e. intentionally focused attention) and insight (i.e. a deep intuitive knowledge and familiarity with the three characteristics, viz. anicca, dukkha, anatta). People who have reached the deepest stage of enlightenment (known as arahants) are believed to be able to switch their default mode network on or off pretty much arbitrarily (there is interest in verifying this claim experimentally, and it doesn't seem to have been outright refuted so far); they seem to have reached a deeply ingrained understanding of what it does and doesn't do for them, and the control ultimately flows from that.
