I skimmed through the posts you linked. I find your quantitative approach to life fascinating. I can understand the doubt on whether it’s a good use of your time. For me, I’d say meditation is much more tied to mystical experiences, and subjective life improvements follow. At some point I think I decided this is not something we rationally understand fully, though we may try. Now I am just letting it happen to me, if that makes sense, while recognizing the intellectual component is but a small subset
