Too bad they made lobotomy illegal. I'd be first in line.

That's basically what we do in vipassana meditation.
That is to say, your awareness is mostly under the control of a bunch of habits. You are always habitually moving your awareness this way, that way, sticking it there or there.
Thinking is mostly comprised of that. Reacting to a thought by moving your awareness to another thought and then to another thought and so on. An endless chain of reactions.
In vipassana we get a handle on that. Get less reactive. Dissolve habits. Get more awake.
It's a pretty good high too.
