I'm not saying introspection is bad. Introspection should be siloed off into its own activity. Constantly doing it involuntarily makes you a slave to your own mind.
I'm pretty sure non-human animals can daydream too. It isn't what makes us special as humans. We are special because we have thumbs and can do math.
Granted, you will probably lose out on creativity (in the messy, artistic sense) by shutting off the default mode network. But again, you can silo creativity into its own brainstorming session.
