A16z Podcast Key Takeaways Marc Andreessen's article, “Why AI Will Save the World,” dispels AI hysteria and emphasizes its transformative potentialMarc is worried about the public conversation on AI, which includes a mix of legitimate questions, explanations, and hysterical emotionsHe is also worried about certain individuals or groups trying to exploit the situation by seeking regulatory capture and stifling innovation and startupsMartin asks about the class of problems that AI is now good at compared to the past: Marc points out two key factors: the scale of training data, made possible by internet-scale data collection, and the increase in compute power, particularly with GPUsHe emphasizes the role of quantity in achieving quality in AI systemsMarc emphasizes that although the initial focus of GPT-4 may lean towards leisure and utility uses, he has always believed in the significance of technology being user-friendly and enjoyable“The actual experience of using these systems today is it's actually a lot more like love, right? And I'm not saying that they literally are conscious that they love you, but like, or maybe the analogy would almost be more like a puppy. Like they're like really smart puppies, right?” – Marc AndreessenTraditional adoption pattern: Government -> Big companies -> Small businesses -> IndividualsShift in adoption pattern: Consumers -> Small businesses -> Big companies -> GovernmentBenefits of the current adoption pattern:Faster access to new technologies for everyoneMass market evaluation of technologies before government and big business decisionsIncreased individual autonomy and agency in technology adoptionConcerns and arguments regarding correctness and adoption:Fear of incorrect or unpredictable outputs from AI systems Potential misuse by criminalsTwo biggest commercial opportunities in recent times: “Those are trillion-dollar prizes, right? Whoever figures out how to fix those problems [correctness and security] has the ability potentially to build a company worth a trillion dollars, to make this technology generally useful in a way where it's guaranteed to always be correct or guaranteed to always be secure.” – Marc AndreessenExample of correctness approach using ChatGPT and Wolfram Alpha plugin:Install the Wolfram Alpha plugin to cross-check math and science statementsWolfram Alpha acts as a deterministic calculatorHybrid architecture combining a deterministic calculator with a creative AI systemThere is a misconception of AI replacing top artists or creators; the focus should be on augmenting their abilitiesAddressing concerns about AI replacing human labor:Technological advancements enhance the productivity rateExponential productivity ramp leads to price crash and near-zero cost for products/servicesMarc is dismissive of concerns that AI will eliminate work and worsen human well-beingSocial reform movements have two sides: True believers: represented by the Baptists, they advocate for social improvement by banning alcohol (as in the analogy of prohibition used by Marc to explain the AI reform phenomenon)Opportunistic beneficiaries: represented by bootleggers, they financially benefit from the illegal trade of alcohol and take advantage of the laws and regulations passed by the reform movement to establish their businessesIn modern times, bootleggers are legitimate business people seeking government protection from competition, aiming to form monopolies or cartels and create regulatory structures that prevent new competitionGeopolitical implications of AI and concerns regarding China's ambitions: Focus on the Chinese Communist Party and regime, not the people of ChinaChina's 2025 plan and speeches by Xi Jinping outline their goal of developing AI for population control and surveillanceTwo-stage plan: Implement authoritarian AI control within China, then spread it globallyThe worst-case scenario involves China's vision spreading across Asia, Europe, South America, and potentially the rest of the worldThe doomsday scenarios presented by AI critics are far-fetched and divorced from the reality of AI technologyThe claim that AI will lead to crippling inequality is a misinterpretation of how the economy and self-interest workRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgThis week, a16z's own cofounder Marc Andreessen published a nearly 7,000-word article that aimed to dispel fears over AI's risks to our humanity – both real and imagined. Instead, Marc elaborates on how AI can "make everything we care about better." In this timely one-on-one conversation with a16z General Partner Martin Casado, Marc discusses how this technology will maximize human potential, why the future of AI should be decided by the free market, and most importantly, why AI won't destroy the world. In fact, it may save it. Read Marc's full article “Why AI Will Save the World” here: https://a16z.com/2023/06/06/ai-will-save-the-world/ Resources:Marc on Twitter: https://twitter.com/pmarca Marc's Substack: https://pmarca.substack.com/ gptplaysminecraft - Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gptplaysminecraftWhy AI Will Save the World: https://a16z.com/2023/06/06/ai-will-save-the-world/Youtube discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wIUK0nsyUg Stay Updated: Find a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://twitter.com/stephsmithioPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

The Danny Miranda Podcast Key Takeaways The purpose of meditation for Robert Greene was not to renounce worldly ambitions but to find self-awareness and connect ambitions to his true selfLessons from 12+ years of meditation:Robert's meditation practice involves daily sessions of Zen meditation, sitting for 35-45 minutes in complete silenceMeditation is a source of creativity as it taps into his unconscious and brings forth new and unexplored ideasThe mind becomes like an empty, blue sky—free from hindrances and fixed ideas—through meditationHe emphasizes the importance of connecting ambition to something deep within oneself, rather than pursuing empty or external goalsThose who constantly seek distractions instead of facing boredom weaken their ability to handle resistanceWriters in their 20s often make the following mistakes:Poor punctuation, spelling, and grammar skillsUnderestimating the importance of writing as a skillAssuming that writing doesn't require effort or practiceFocusing on their ego rather than effective communicationUsing clever phrases and puns without conveying meaningful contentWriting is not about self-expression but about communicating effectively with othersDeveloping empathy involves redirecting narcissism and self-love toward others and being genuinely interested in understanding their perspectivesReading people's emotions and moods, rather than trying to read their minds, is crucial in understanding and connecting with themThose who have a clear sense of their unique destiny from an early age tend to have more success and power in lifeSuccess, for Robert, is the feeling of freedom where he doesn't have bosses, people pressuring him, or limitations on what he can write aboutThe experience of being in a coma, waking up, and realizing how close he came to death made death more than just an intellectual idea—it became a physical presenceHe always prioritized gaining life experiences and finding things interesting over monetary considerations“The 48 Laws of Power” continues to sell well because it transcends specific periods and remains applicable to the current power dynamics, especially with the rise of social media and the internetHe does not aim to create sequels or repeat past successes for the sake of making money but instead focuses on exploring new areas and ideasRobert is currently working on a book about the sublime, which builds upon the final chapter of “The Laws of Human Nature” and “The 50th Law” (co-authored with 50 Cent) that touched on the subjectRobert suggests a challenge for listeners to spend five minutes every day questioning thoughts, feelings, desires, and motivations instead of assuming that everything is knownRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgRobert Greene is a writer. His books have sold millions of copies (including The 48 Laws of Power). In this conversation, we spoke about what new writers get wrong, valuing experiences over money, why his ideas have stuck for 25+ years, developing empathy, and the role of meditation in his own life.

Companies that have cultivated their individual identities by shaping values, making heroes, spelling out rites and rituals, and acknowledging the cultural network, have an edge(5:30) We prefer the discipline of knowledge to the anarchy of ignorance. We pursue knowledge the way a pig pursues truffles. A blind pig can sometimes find truffles, but it helps to know that they grow in oak forests.(5:48) We hire gentlemen with brains.(6:16) Only First Class business, and that in a First Class way.(6:25) Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.(9:45) Buy Ogilvy on Advertising (10:45) One decent editorial counts for a thousand advertisements. + You simply cannot mix your messages when selling something new. A consumer can barely handle one great new idea, let alone two, or even several. — Against the Odds: An Autobiography by James Dyson (Founders #300)(15:22) It was inspiring to work for a supreme master. M. Pitard did not tolerate incompetence. He knew that it is demoralising for professionals to work alongside incompetent amateurs.(16:66) You have to be ruthless if you want to build a team of A players. It's too easy, as a team grows, to put up with a few B players, and they then attract a few more B players, and soon you will even have some C players. The Macintosh experience taught me that A players like to work only with other A players, which means you can't indulge B players.(18:12) In the best companies, promises are always kept, whatever it may cost in agony and overtime.(18:33) I have come to the conclusion that the top man has one principal responsibility: to provide an atmosphere in which creative mavericks can do useful work.(19:38) I admire people who work hard, who bite the bullet.(19:58) I admire people with first class brains.(20:23) I admire people who work with gusto.

(Founders #170)Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins. (Founders #207)(25:47) Talent is most likely to be found among nonconformists, dissenters, and rebels.(26:49) The majority of business men are incapable of original thinking because they are unable to escape from the tyranny of reason.

Aim for the company of immortals.(40:13) Most big corporations behave as if profit were not a function of time.When Jerry Lambert scored his first breakthrough with Listerine, he speeded up the whole process of marketing by dividing time into months. Instead of locking himself into annual plans, Lambert reviewed his advertising and his profits every month.The result was that he made $25,000,000 in eight years, where it takes most people twelve times as long. In Jerry Lambert's day, the Lambert Pharmaceutical Company lived by the month, instead of by the year.(41:30) The Mind of Napoleon: A Selection of His Written and Spoken Words edited by J. Christopher Herold. (Founders #302)(41:36) I am an inveterate brain picker, and the most rewarding brains I have picked are the brains of my predecessors and my competitors.(43:27) We make advertisements that people want to read.

Read all the trade journals in the field. Read all the research reports and marketing plans that your agency has ever written on the product. Spend Saturday mornings in service stations, pumping gasoline and talking to motorists. Visit your client's refineries and research  laboratories. Study the advertising of his competitors.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Check Out the Huberman Lab Podcast Episode Page & Show NotesCurious about Andrew Huberman's recipe for good sleep? Read more hereRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I discuss Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA), which is also commonly known as “ecstasy” or “molly,” including how it works in the brain to cause short- and long- term-shifts in emotional processing and its clinical applications for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol and other substance-use addictions. I discuss the neuronal mechanisms for how MDMA elevates mood, empathy, motivation, social engagement, and empathy, and reduces “threat detection” and how these effects can synergistically support talk therapy. I also explain the ongoing debate about the potential neurotoxicity of MDMA, myths about the origins and treatments for post-MDMA “crash,” the evolving legal landscape around MDMA use for clinical purposes, and I caution recreational users about the extremely dangerous additives (e.g., fentanyl) now commonly found in black market MDMA. This should be of interest to those curious about MDMA, neuropharmacology, the origins of emotional processing in the brain, empathy, PTDS, neuroplasticity, mental health and psychiatry.

Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  Tracking how you spend your time allows you to optimize your life; it becomes very apparent where you waste time and where you should be spending more of it Be excited about becoming a better version of yourself Take the time to design the life you want to live, and then take the steps to grow into it Create disciplined habits to reduce the effort required to stick with them; eventually, these habits become intuitive and effortless Immediately take action on emergent friction, eliminate it, and get back into harmony The joy of life is living in a balanced and harmonious state, and continually evolving into your limitless potential You must reflect so you can decide which parts of your life must change or adapt Your ability to spend your time on the things that you want will be dictated by the amount of money you need to live the life you want to live “You don't ever want to ‘get somewhere.'

Infinite Loops Key Takeaways  Hypnosis has a way of effectively communicating with the self-conscious and is the most efficient way to upgrade the mental software that we all have   The hypnotic state is a state of accelerated learning or relaxed focused attention where a person is more suggestible, which means it is easier for them to change the way they think or feel about something Hypnosis is not widely used due to misconceptions, lack of public awareness, and lack of consistent training standards It is more profitable to treat symptoms than to treat root causes; this creates perverse incentives for the healthcare industry  The subconscious mind is more likely to absorb negative suggestions than positive suggestions Secondary gains can obstruct progress, meaning the person gets a benefit from having the problem so they subconsciously sabotage their efforts to resolve it One of the most effective ways to change the behavior is to change the way they think about it “World peace starts with inner peace. If you want to make the world a better place, you got to make yourself a better place.” – Todd Goodwin Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgTodd Goodwin is the founder of Goodwin Hypnosis, a hypnosis center based in North Carolina.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways “Psychedelics seem to give people access to a better version of self.” – Dr. Andrew HubermanPossibly in part because of ego dissolution properties of psychedelics (versus ego inflation properties of drugs like cocaine)Psychedelics can reveal something about the mind that can't be revealed otherwise – maybe because it's masked, unconscious, or below the threshold of awarenessPsilocybin changes the brain in a way that allows new ideas and new forms of learning to occurMore classic psychedelics like psilocybin allow you to dive deeper into the uncomfortable in a way that MDMA does not MDMA is a strong empathogen for self and othersThe setting plays a huge role in the outcomes of psychedelic studies; features include: strategic music, eye mask, 2 non-using professionals + 1 client/patient, 1-3 sessions spread across a few weeks, integration with psychotherapy (talk therapy)Despite the massive attention it's gotten, the evidence doesn't currently support any benefits of microdosing – just macrodosing under clinical supervisionThe psychedelic renaissance has come a long way! From fringe science and taboo culture to a huge draw for donors and openly discussed and researched in academic settingsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD, distinguished professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. He is one of leading researchers in the study of how psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD and DMT can change the human brain and in doing so, be used to successfully treat various mental health challenges such as major depression, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. He explains how psilocybin induces sustained changes in adaptive brain wiring and cognition. We discuss the key components of safe and effective psychedelic journeys, the role of hallucinations, the use of eye-masks to encourage people to “go internal,” and music, as well as what effective therapist support consists of before, during and after the session (also known as integration). We discuss micodosing vs. macrodosing and how researchers control for placebo effects in psychedelic research. We also discuss the current legal landscape around psychedelic therapies. Psychedelic therapies are fast emerging as powerful and soon-to-be mainstream treatments for medical health disorders, but they are not without their risks. As such, this episode ought to be of use to anyone interested in brain plasticity, mental health, psychology or neuroscience. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Any cold exposure to the skin that you register as jarring or uncomfortable activates brown fat, increasing metabolismTip: don't worry so much about the specific temperature, think more about the difference in temperature between your skin and the waterAfter drop: blood vessels constrict in the cold to keep organs healthy; once you get out of the cold, blood vessels dilate again but the surface is still cold so core body temperature drops and induces a shiverCycling heat and cold? End on cold for best results“Cold is the most potent stressor activator of brown fat.” – Dr. Susanna SøbergPeople who work outside (e.g., farmers) or were more active earlier in life will maintain higher levels of brown fat after age 40Long-term benefits of deliberate cold exposure: lower blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, improve metabolism, improve heart rate, better glucose balanceCold & heat dose for optimal results: cold exposure 11 minutes per week, spread out across 2-3 sessions + 10-15 minutes per session (up to 30 minutes per week) The goal is to keep the stimulus, a stimulus – you don't want to build up the ability to hang out in cold for 11 minutes or sauna for an hourThere is a tipping point at which a good, hormetic stressor can feel like chronic stress to the body and you no longer receive additional healthy outcomesTrouble tolerating cold exposure? You will still get all the benefits if you leave your hands out of the water, wear a cap and submerge up to the neck, and/or wear booties on your feetRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Susanna Søberg, PhD. She earned her doctoral degree at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, researching the effects of deliberate cold and deliberate heat exposure on metabolism and other aspects of human physiology. We discuss how cold or sauna can improve metabolism, cardiovascular and brain health, balance hormones, and decrease inflammation. Dr. Søberg discusses how deliberate cold protocols can improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and trigger release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine which enhance energy, mood, and focus. We compare cold showers and cold immersion, traditional and infrared saunas, and other variables. This episode provides actionable tools and answers to common questions about the use of deliberate cold and heat to improve health. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Art of Manliness Key Takeaways  Low testosterone is often best treated if 1) you have symptoms and 2) have a testosterone level below 400Testosterone levels can vary depending on the quality of your recent sleep and diet Symptoms of low testosterone: depression, anxiety, low libido, erectile dysfunction, low sperm productionPeople who are significantly hypogonadal for a long time are at a much higher risk for osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and others Metabolic syndrome is the most common cause of low testosteroneObstructive sleep apnea is the second most common cause of low TFor most men, an optimal testosterone number is between 500 and as high as you can go naturallyHow to improve T: get better and more sleep, improve your diet, manage stress, drink less alcohol, etc. Improving these behaviors will make you more insulin sensitive (which is a good thing) Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an option when the benefits of increasing T outweigh the risks of remaining at low levels of T, and when the patient understands the risks and the benefits of the therapySupplements mentioned by Dr. Kelly Gillett for testosterone optimization:Creatine,L-Carnitine, Calcium D-Glucarate, andTongkat Ali Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen men think about optimizing their hormones, they tend only to think about raising their testosterone. But while increasing T can be important, an ideal health profile also means having testosterone that's in balance with your other hormones as well.Today on the show, Dr. Kyle Gillett joins me to discuss both of those prongs of all-around hormone optimization. We start with a quick overview of the different hormones that affect male health. We then get into what qualifies as low testosterone and how to accurately test yours. We also discuss what causes low testosterone in individual men, and how its decline in the general male population may be linked to both birth control and the world wars. In the second half of our conversation, we discuss how to both raise testosterone and get rid of excess estrogen, including the use of some effective supplements you may never have heard of. We then get into the risks and benefits of taking TRT, before ending our discussion with what young men can do to prepare for a lifetime of optimal T and hormonal health.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM series on testosterone, including How I Doubled My Testosterone Levels NaturallyAoM Podcast #761: How Testosterone Makes Men, MenAoM Podcast #878: The Fitness Supplements That Actually Work Connect With Dr. Kyle GillettKyle on IGGillett Health Podcast on Spotify and AppleGillett Health on YouTubeGillett Health website

Inside Medicine with Private Medical ✓ Claim Key Takeaways GLP-1 agonists target factors in the brain and gut that drive obesity in the first placeGLP-1 agonists highlight that obesity isn't just about behavioral change and individual responsibility, but there are biological mechanisms contributing to obesityUsers tend to follow a significantly reduced meal schedule but it's important to keep protein intake high and incorporate resistance training 2-3x per week (at least 30-minute sessions)The best results will still come from users who use GLP-1 agonists in combination with lifestyle modifications – this will also help with plateaus that will happenTips to push through a plateau: exercise, self-monitoring behaviors (food tracking, weight monitoring), celebrate non-scale victories (increased energy, increased activity, etc.)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPrivate Medical physicians Dr. Natalie Walsh and Dr. Tatiana Ivan.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Psilocybin's main effect is to mimic serotonin in a very specific way, leading to neuroplasticityThe goal of psilocybin is the adaptive rewiring of the brain, not just rewiring of the brain – you want to rewire that leads to new and interesting ideasClinical trials using psilocybin for the treatment of depression are outperforming standard therapy and SSRIs (and other antidepressants) A combination of psilocybin + talk therapy shows evidence of the strongest long-lasting resultsPsilocybin increases communication across the brain and reduces the hierarchical organization of the brain, broadening the flow of information (including interoception and exteroception)“During the psilocybin journey, people have the opportunity to learn new relationships between different sensory and emotional states. Those new relationships seem to persist long after the psychedelic journey is finished.” – Dr. Andrew HubermanBest practices for an effective guided psilocybin journey: Sit or lie down comfortably with eyes closed or an eye maskMusic is critical to the experience1 or more people present should not be on psilocybinNo food at least 4 hours prior to the journeyKey features of the trip from those who experience positive results: a sense of unity, sense of spirituality, sense of bliss at some point during the experience, insight, and learning about one's lifeCurrent clinical studies and areas of promise for psilocybin use: treatment resistance depression, cancer-related depression, and anxiety Newer studies are exploring use for alcohol abuse, tobacco addiction, OCD, and moreRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I discuss what psilocybin is (chemically) and how it works at the cellular and neural circuit level to trigger neuroplasticity, which is our brain's ability to rewire itself in ways that lead to long-lasting shifts in our emotional, cognitive and behavioral patterns and abilities. I discuss the emerging clinical trial evidence for the use of psilocybin in the treatment of depression, addictions and other psychiatric challenges. I explain the typical duration and phases of a psilocybin journey, the different categories of dosages often used and I explain the importance of set, setting and support when using psychedelics. I explain which groups of people place themselves at great risk by taking psilocybin as well as groups that could benefit, and I highlight the rapidly changing legal and medical landscape around psilocybin. This episode is a thorough exploration of psilocybin from the scientific and clinical literature perspective and ought to be of interest to anyone curious about psilocybin, mental health, neuroplasticity and/or psychedelics more generally.

It is from the past that he will draw his lessons in order to shape the present.[5:15] Destiny must be fulfilled. That is my chief doctrine.[6:05] Napoleon: A Concise Biography by David Bell (Founders #294)[9:25] To aim at world empire seemed to Napoleon a most natural thing.[10:00] To have lived without glory, without leaving a trace of one's existence, is not to have lived at all.[10:55] The greatest improvisation of the human mind is that which gives existence to the nonexistent.[11:45] The best way to understand a person is to listen to that person directly. —  Make Something Wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words (Founders #299)[12:55] The great majority of men attend to what is necessary only when they feel a need for it—the precise time when it is too late.[16:10] The worst way to live according to Napoleon:When on rising from sleep a man does not know what to do with himself and drags his tedious existence from place to place; when, scanning his future, he sees nothing but dreadful monotony, one day resembling the next; when he asks himself, "Why do I exist?”—then, in my opinion, he is the most wretched of all.[17:45] Instead his (Steve Jobs) ego needs and personal drives led him to seek fulfillment by creating a legacy that would awe people. A dual legacy, actually: building innovative products and building a lasting company. He wanted to be in the pantheon with, indeed a notch above, people like Edwin Land, Bill Hewlett, and David Packard. — Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography by Walter Isaacson. (Founders #214)[19:15] He must know himself. Until then, all endeavors are in vain, all schemes collapse.[20:15] Napoleon on George Washington: Britain refused to acknowledge either him or the independence of his country; but his success obliged them to change their minds and acknowledge both. It is success which makes the great man.[21:15] Washington saw the conflict as a struggle for power in which the colonists, if victorious, destroyed British pretentions of superiority and won control over half of a continent. — Franklin & Washington: The Founding Partnershipby Edward Larson. (Founders #251)[23:15] If you do everything you will win: All great events hang by a single thread. The clever man takes advantage of everything, neglects nothing that may give him some added opportunity; the less clever man, by neglecting one thing, sometimes misses everything.[23:45] Warren Buffett: We are individually opportunity driven. — All I Want To Know Is Where I'm Going To Die So I'll Never Go There: Buffett & Munger – A Study in Simplicity and Uncommon, Common Sense by Peter Bevelin. (Founders #286)[24:15] Imagination rules the world.[25:00] Ambition is a violent and unthinking fever that ceases only when life ceases.[34:52] The corpse of an enemy always smells sweet.[35:30] Roots of Strategy: Book 1[38:45] Robert Caro profiled two men who seeds were not high (in a tournament) they were without many advantages. And to get all the way to the top you probably had to sacrifice everything to the effort. The meta lesson is if you are not willing to pay that price presume someone else will.If you want something like the presidency (or being a billionaire) you should presume there is someone out there who will devote all their time, money, relationships, sense of ethics, everything in sacrifice of that one goal. Of course that person would win that race.  — Invest Like The Best Sam Hinkie Find Your People [40:45] I do not want be roadkill on the modern-day Napoleon's path to glory.[43:15] The ancients had a great advantage over us in that their armies were not trailed by a second army of pen pushers.[44:05] A wasted life should be your greatest fear.[46:30] Make use of every possible opportunity of increasing your chances of victory.[48:55] Paul Graham on Be Hard to Kill:The way to make a startup recession-proof is to do exactly what you should do anyway: run it as cheaply as possible.For years I've been telling founders that the surest route to success is to be the cockroaches of the corporate world.

The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens ✓ Claim Key Takeaways Check Out the Great Simplification Podcast Episode Page & Show NotesRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, Dr. Robert Lustig joins Nate to dive into the metabolism of the micro level of human systems - the humans ourselves. Over the last century, accompanying the transformation of our energy systems, our food and consumption patterns have been massively transformed. One of the biggest areas of change is the dramatic increase in sugar consumption. But are our bodies adapted to eating such high sugar, processed foods? What are the health effects connected to this way of eating? And, writ large, how does our metabolic dysfunction as individuals contribute to the energy hungry global Superorganism? What are the systemic drivers that currently prevent a shift towards healthier food systems? Can changing how we eat make us healthier - and thus better equipped to face the complex challenges of the metacrisis? About Robert Lustig: Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, and Member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He is one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry. He has dedicated his retirement from clinical medicine to help to fix the food supply any way he can, to reduce human suffering and to salvage the environment. Dr. Lustig graduated from MIT in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He also received his Masters of Studies in Law (MSL) degree at University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 2013. He is the author of the popular books Fat Chance (2012), The Hacking of the American Mind (2017), and Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine (2021).

Stuff You Should Know✓Claim Key Takeaways  While every manhunt is unique, there are some principles that hold true for all manhunts Law enforcement typically gets the public involved as soon as possible Generally, authorities will establish a containment zone, then conduct a door-to-door search, then shut down public forms of transportation, schools, businesses, etc. The man who killed Martin Luther King Jr. was an escapee from a Missouri prison; following the assassination, he made his way to Canada using a forged passport, then to Portugal, and eventually to the UK where he was finally apprehended Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, was on the run for 18 years before his brother identified his writing style in his manifesto and alerted the authorities Whitey Bulger was on the run for 16 years before a woman working at a hair salon recognized his girlfriend from an FBI-sponsored commercial and tipped off the police There are many loopholes that law enforcement can use during manhunts Crowd-sourced manhunts are becoming increasingly popular given the rise of social media and the online types obsessed with true crime Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen a suspect or prisoner goes on the lam there are plenty of ways to hide: in plain sight, in the mountains, in another country. There are as many types of ways law enforcement uses to track wanted people as their are ways to go on the lam, but there are some founding principles to carrying out a successful manhunt and they actually include you.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways The human sense of smell is innately extremely sensitive and can be trained to be even more sensitive, especially in the absence of other senses (like vision or hearing)Every time you meet someone you are taking chemicals from that person and applying it to your own body to process information about that person – this may explain why some people become “fast friends” or click right awayIf you lose your sense of smell for 1-1.5 years, it's unlikely you'll ever get it back; it's a ‘use it or lose it' systemLoss of smell is an early indicator of neurological degeneration and diseaseWe're constantly shifting our nasal cycle AKA which nostril we use most through a mechanism driven by the sympathetic/parasympathetic nervous systemInformation processing & cognition is linked to our olfactory systemWe are always sensing our own odor clouds to change our cognition and behavior – whether you realize it or notIn our most basic behaviors, we follow our nose not our eyes: if a food is visually appealing but smells bad, we are less likely to eat it; we'll be more attracted to a romantic partner who smells pleasant regardless of looks versus a potential partner who looks nice but smells badThe future of digitized olfaction may be used in medical diagnoses (but nowhere in the near future)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, my guest is Noam Sobel, PhD, professor of neurobiology in the department of brain sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Dr. Sobel explains his lab's research on the biological mechanisms of smell (“olfaction”) and how sensing odorants and chemicals in our environment impacts human behavior, cognition, social connections, and hormones. He explains how smell is a crucial component of “social sensing” and how we use olfaction when meeting new people to determine things about their physiology and psychology, and he explains how this impacts friendships and romantic partners. He explains how smell influences emotions, hormone levels, memories and the relationship between breathing and autonomic homeostasis. He describes how smell-based screening tests can aid disease diagnosis and explains his lab's work on digitization of smell — which may soon allow online communication to include “sending of odors” via the internet. Dr. Sobel's work illustrates how sensitive human olfaction is and how it drives much of our biology and behavior. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Huberman Lab Introduction View things close up (a few inches to 2 feet away) and far away (4-8 feet away) throughout the day – we spend a lot of time only looking at things close up (i.e., on our phones) Near-sightedness is increasing at record rates as a resultThe length of the eyeball and movement of the lens is influenced by how close or far we view things, especially during the development If you only look at things close up, the image lands too close to the lens and leads to nearsightednessStudies have shown kids develop myopia if they look at screens too much during developmentTip #1: spend time daily visually scanning at a distance, or walking and not looking at anything in particular – the general rule of thumb: for every hour you spend looking at things 3 ft away or less, get at least an hour per day looking at things further awayTip #2: time outside per day in sunlight (ideally 2 hours per day) leads to a lower incidence of myopia, particularly in children Time in sunlight doesn't have to be free of screens or work, just time in sunlight or opening a window to get natural light exposureTip #3: check out the smooth pursuit visual tasks or near-far vision exercises to offset or reverse vision lossNutrition and supplements for eye health: get enough vitamin A in the purest food form (found in leafy greens, liver, etc.), lutein from food sources (such as eggs) may help protect against age-related macular degenerationThere are people who swear by reducing reliance on corrective lenses and working on eye health exercises to improve vision   Red light research: exposure to red light (650-720 nm range) early in the day (1-3 minutes) can offset some age-related vision declineRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWelcome to a preview of the sixth Ask Me Anything (AMA) episode, part of the Huberman Lab Premium subscription.

That is how I make a living and they are what have made my name at least familiar in a million homes.[11:00] Isambard Kingdom Brunel: The Definitive Biography of The Engineer, Visionary, and Great Briton by L.T.C. Rolt. (Founders #201)[13:10] After the idea there is plenty of time to learn the technology. My first cyclonic vacuum cleaner was built out of cereal packets and masking tape long before I understood how it worked.[14:15] Difference for the sake of it. In everything. Because it must be better. From the moment the idea strikes, to the running of the business. Difference, and retention of total control.[18:00] I would not be dragged into something I didn't want to do.[22:40] They were all running round and round the track like a herd of sheep and not getting any quicker. Difference itself was making me come in first.[23:34] As I grew more and more neurotic about being caught from behind I trained harder to stay in front. To this day it is the fear of failure, more than anything else, which makes me keep working at success.[27:20] Isambard Kingdom Brunel was unable to think small, and nothing was a barrier to him. The mere fact that something had never been one before presented, to Brunel, no suggestion that the doing of it was impossible.He was fired by an inner strength and self-belief almost impossible to imagine in this feckless age.While I could never lay claim to the genius of a man like that —I have tried to be as confident in my vision as he was.And at times in my life when I have encountered difficulty and self-doubt I have looked to his example to fire me on.[30:33] The vision of a single man pursued with dogged determination that was nothing less than obsession.[36:30] The root principle was to do things your way. It didn't matter how other people did it.[41:38] You simply cannot mix your messages when selling something new. A consumer can barely handle one great new idea, let alone two, or even several.[49:30] A direct relationship with the customer is the holy grail. Do not abandon it.[52:00] One of the strains of this book is about control. If you have the intimate knowledge of a product that comes with dreaming it up and then designing it, I have been trying to say, then you will be the better able to sell it and then, reciprocally, to go back to it and improve it. From there you are in the best possible position to convince others of its greatness and to inspire others to give their very best efforts to developing it, and to remain true to it, and to see it through all the way to its optimum point. To total fruition, if you like.[1:02:20] Before I went into production with the dual cyclone I had built 5,127 prototypes.[1:02:30] There is no such thing as a quantum leap. There is only dogged persistence – and in the end you make it look like a quantum leap.[1:03:30] While it is easy, of course, for me to celebrate my doggedness now and say that it is all you need to succeed, the truth is that it demoralized me terribly. I would crawl into the house every night covered in dust after a long day, exhausted and depressed because that day's cyclone had not worked. There were times when I thought it would never work, that I would keep on making cyclone after cyclone, never going forwards, never going backwards, until I died.[1:06:20] I was broke, hungry and depressed. The outlook was very dreary. My doggedness and self-belief in the absence of any real evidence that they were justified was beginning to look more and more like insanity.[1:10:30] Persistent trial and error allows them to wake up one morning after many, many mornings with a world beating product.[1:13:15] I began to consider forgetting the whole thing and doing something else with my life.[1:16:00] The poor buggers were so wrong, to think that designers knew nothing about business, or about marketing, or is about selling. It is the people who make the things that understand them, and understand what the public wants.[1:21:30] Go further. There is nothing wrong with making the consumer laugh. Conventional looks do not make a product more marketable.Subscribe to listen to Founders Premium — Subscribers can ask me questions directly and listen to Ask Me Anything (AMA) episodes.----Join my free email newsletter to get my top 10 highlights from every book----I use Readwise to organize and remember everything I read. You can try Readwise for 60 days for free here.  ----“I have listened to every episode released and look forward to every episode that comes out.

Huberman Lab Key Takeaways Mental training and visualization is best used to enhance speed and accuracy of a skill you already have some proficiency at, not necessarily for learning new things“Mental training and visualization cannot replace execution of real world cognitive or motor tasks you want to learn…but is effective in enhancing the speed at which you learn and the stability of that learning over time.” – Dr. Andrew HubermanPrinciples of mental visualization:(1) mental visualization needs to be brief (15-20 sec) and repeated;(2) mental visualization needs to be combined with real world experience;(3) mental training needs to be similar to real world experience;(4) naming and giving identity to real world skill and applying the same name to visualization enhances learning;(5) it takes longer to perform complex motor sequences in mental training and visualization just like it would in the real worldChoosing between real world training and mental training: real world training is better than mental training; mental training is better than no training; but ideally – you'll use mental training to augment real world training and improve speed, accuracy, and consistencyMental training can also be used to get you to stop or ‘no go' components of motor learning, like restricting inappropriate movements or thoughts (e.g., withholding inappropriate action or action sequence) For this training, it's especially important to perform mental training and real world training in combinationRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I explore the science of mental visualization and its application for learning motor and cognitive skills. I discuss neuroplasticity-based skill development and the roles of focus, sleep, movement restriction, and agitation. I then present five key principles of mental visualization to enhance learning speed, accuracy, and consistency. I also provide examples of specific protocols, including repetitions, rest periods, and session frequency, and how to adapt these methods for injuries or breaks from traditional training. Throughout, I reference the scientific studies supporting these concepts. This episode should allow anyone to learn or teach more effectively through the use of mental visualization and training.

My First Million Key Takeaways  Martin Shkreli worked for Jim Cramer's hedge fund when he was in high school Martin became a millionaire at the age of 29 when he took his pharma company public “PubMed is the government database of all scholastic biomedical literature – so 36 million papers. If you sit there long enough and you have the passion, you can become a billionaire.” – Martin Shkreli It is not a crime to choose the price of your product He was bothered by the politicians trying to take the right away from entrepreneurs to set the price of their products, what he calls “regulation by embarrassment” If the regulators can tell Martin Shkreli what the price of his product should be, what is stopping them from setting the price of the iPhone? How much should a drug cost if it prevents the need for getting a $1 million surgery?After raising the price of the drug, there were zero patients that were unable to get the drug He hoped his casualness would encourage them to do some research and find out that no one (other than the insurance companies) were affected by the price increase Modern CEOs are not allowed to have a real personality: no one in the corporate world is allowed to have an opinion because it might be held against them or their companyMagic happens when you provide capital to great people with great assetsHealthcare is more expensive than we'd like mostly because of the artificially constrained supply of healthcare professionals, according to Martin Shkreli  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgEpisode 445: Shaan Puri (@ShaanVP) and Sam Parr (@TheSamParr) talk with Martin Shkreli (@marty_catboy), aka "the most hated man in America", about how he got started in pharma, his logic behind raising the price of Daraprim, why he spent time in prison, and what business he's starting now.
