Is default a pre-altered state of consciousness?

I would argue that at least a shitload of people don't get enough air via breathing and that's why they are in whatever state of consciousness they are in.

Shitty posture, 'toxic' (compared to, again, default) air, water, soil, food and constantly being pounded by annoying stuff on the peripheral of perception disrupts our CNS.

I believe we skipped a few important beats in our cognitive evolution because of that and a lot of people would be a lot smoother ... at least less pretentiously pre-modern-evolution "animalistic", or less obedient to and uncritical about liquidity-and-status-based hierarchies, and other stuff that obviously has a net-negative impact on pretty much everything ... ( lots of which has already been quantified ... multiple times over multiple decades )

.. but peeps just laugh and call this world a gangsters paradise or something ...
