    No, because doing nothing. Is doing something.
    It's a hard concept. But if you think about it.

    You can't

    True, but even if you could pause your body...think about this..

    You're DOING nothing.

    That's an act, the act is nothing.


    Or, you're paused. You're being stopped etc..

    So the answer is NO, you can't do nothing.
    And to whomever is going to say "lol idiot what about if your dead"

    You're beind dead.

    SO! Once more.
    You can't do nothing.

    You would be thinking about not doing those things to make sure you dont do them... Think about it breathing is autonomous. As such to stop doing it you have to THINK about not doing it.

    Is it possible to do nothing?

    This is an easy paradox to resolve.

    You cannot do nothing in the context of everything.
    You can however do nothing in the context of occupation, working, job.
    You can do nothing in terms of labour, thinking, writing.
    You can do nothing in terms of acting on a stimulus.

    To do nothing is simply to opt out of making a decision to do something, and in this sense must therefore be used in the context of a decision. To use it in the context of life the universe and everything is simply a misnomer and leads to a logical paradox.

    No - Because, involuntarily, your brain is telling you to breathe, blink, etc, you just don't know it.

    You know, Sythe's large brain scares me :(

    The only people that are doing nothing are probably the dead people since they aren't even breathing...but still, they're probably lying down...

    I believe it is impossibe to do nothing although peoples perceptions of what nothing is can be different. For example one could argue that a bum is doing nothing with their life although their bodies are still maintaining life.

    A more important question. Is nothing something?

    Thought about it some more - If you are doing nothing, you are nothing.
