But the flipside of focus is a vast blindness. You can’t have one without the other. Which might explain a lot. It’s a strong argument for widespread use of drugs like weed and shrooms.

    Are you suggesting that other animals are less capable of attention focus? Because I share that experience.

      Hmmm. Good question. Because I’ve seen cats focus like crazy.

      Maybe it isn’t focus so much as a certain locus of focus : thoughts. We’re really good at focusing on thoughts.
