Great book. Read it so long ago I can recall little more than the title. Perhaps the rediscovery of the “phrenes” - in the stomach’s influence over the brain will lead to a deeper understanding of consciousness - or unconscious decision making. Cosmic Consciousness is another worthy tome for those interested in where consciousness lies and its evolution. Sometimes, back in the day, when heavily stoned, I would forget where I was driving to. But rather than become frustrated I figured that if I just kept going, sooner or later it would come to me.
It all has to come from your legs. No coasting. Also bikes are pretty stable and can go pretty far without a rider. Nothing is holding that seat up on a unicycle and it will flop over and stop things quickly if you are not keeping your weight on that center post.
