Meditators seek spirituality via cutting influence of brain's default net. Yet many fear ems losing moral value via losing human features, & cutting default net is plausible path. So are ems w/ less default net spiritual ideals, or empty of moral value? https://www.overcomingbias.com/2018/02/how-human-are-meditators.html …

I predict if you just disable the default network, with no other changes, the resulting person is completely dysfunctional, maybe comatose, and has various bizarre neurological symptoms.

When you talk about goal-directed brain editing, then I think of it more in terms of the goal you're claiming than about any particular neurological correlates you think might happen. I am not sure why you think saying "default network" should change my intuitions about this goal
