Are the states of alpha and theta brain-waves not sometimes desirable to 'conscious' rational thought? Your question suggests that alpha and theta waves are somehow in opposition to thought patterns or that their occurrence would be unrelated or form an "alternative". But where do you get...

Wise move, bro.

What do you know about the Amish? Gelassenheit Well, I have equal interest in their rejection of technological innovation and those 'utopian' engineers / scientists who have faith in technological progress and transhumanism. Here's a couple very recent stories when "utopian civilizations"...
