A human cannot be trusted with the engine of their own life. The mind, brilliant as it is, wanders. It forgets. It sleeps.
Imagine if you had to consciously command your heart to beat. One moment of distraction, one dream too deep, one sudden fright—and the rhythm would stop. You wouldn’t make it to sunrise.
Evolution understood this fragility and made a crucial decision. It built a wall between the conscious mind and the vital machinery of the body. That barrier is the autonomic nervous system—a quiet, tireless government that keeps the country of your body running without your permission. It manages your heartbeat, your breathing, your digestion, and every hidden rhythm that sustains life.
This separation isn’t a flaw. It’s a design born of wisdom. By freeing the conscious mind from the endless labor of survival, evolution allowed humans to focus on what truly requires awareness—seeking food, building shelter, creating art, and pondering existence itself.
You don’t control your internal organs because, if you did, you wouldn’t survive the day.
