What it really comes down to is osmosis. You remember osmosis, don't you? In high school science, you learned that's the process that lets stuff pass through the membrane that surrounds your cells. Osmosis lets the good stuff in and the bad stuff out, trading spent fuel for new fuel. It keeps you alive.
The funny thing about osmosis (other than the name) is that it's automatic. There's no conscious thought involved. That's why if you get stranded at sea, like Tom Hanks in Castaway, you mustn't drink seawater, even if you're dying of thirst.
In fact, if you drink seawater, osmosis is what will kill you. It will move the fresh water out of your cells and take salt water in until you're basically a pickle. You can't stop it, anymore than you can consciously make your nose stop running.
You don't have a choice.
Switch gears from water to information, from your cells to your mind.
