I recall an Indian guru in a YouTube video once quipping “Many followers have asked me, how do I quiet my brain. I tell them ‘your brain can be cleared of all thoughts only once, and then your family holds your funeral.’ Meditation is not the absence of thoughts but the acceptance of thoughts without interaction.”
the brain can be cleared of all thoughts only once, and then your family holds your funeral
It’s too bad these events aren’t consecutive. My FIL cleared his brain of all thought decades ago but he ain’t dead yet. Fox told him what to fill it with.
I… do not think that’s accurate

Then it’s not clear, you’re confusing cleared of thoughts with filled with stupid, malicious thoughts.
