Why Sleep With the Television on Since Age Three?

From the episode: #2566 - Cody Tucker

Answer

Cody Tucker has slept with the television on since the age of three and still cannot be alone with thoughts. The television has to stay on. Being alone with thoughts is too much.

Meditation does nothing. Cody Tucker can let a thought come and let a thought go without forcing the mind to zero, and kept the practice up for months at a time. Nothing felt different afterward. The practice does nothing. What works instead is suffocating the thoughts with distractions, because distraction is required.

Joe Rogan argues that one required way to live, think, and behave is not real, and that creative people whose brains work differently are a great thing. The burden of never being alone with thoughts is also why so much content gets produced, because the mind has to stay engaged. Joe Rogan says the facts and information put into the world have changed a lot of people's perspective, given people plenty to think about, and amount to a great service.
