Is Meditation a meme or is there something deeper to it
gpt
depends how you use it. Meditation is like training wheels on a bike. Once you learn to observe your thoughts and stop them before you get in that spiral, there is no need anymore to do it. You'll 'meditate' while walking, cooking, working out, painting, drinking water etc etc etc. Sitting in lotus 'meditating' for years is really just a meme. Its like seeing adults using training wheels for 25+ years without being disabled or something like that. It just stops your progress and makes you a worshipper of spirituality. None of the big enlightened teachers meditated all of their lifes, unless you are a budhist or do it for religious reasons.
