Humans evolved for face-to-face courtship in small communities, where attraction unfolded gradually and choices were limited. Today, we're navigating global dating markets, algorithms, AI recommendations, endless novelty, and constant rejection. So what happens when ancient mating psychology collides with modern technology? I am joined once again by Dr. Justin Garcia, evolutionary biologist and Executive Director of the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. He is the chief scientific advisor for Match, and author of the new book The Intimate Animal: The Science of Sex, Fidelity, And Why We Live and Die For Love. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: How do dating apps shape our dopamine responses and bonding tendencies? Could AI actually improve mate selection, or is that better left to humans? Are changing relationship patterns a sign of human adaptability, or something else? Where might the future of sex, dating, and intimacy be headed? To learn more about Dr. Garcia, follow @drjustingarcia on the socials. Got a sex question?

Dive into the bizarre and fascinating on this eclectic episode of The Other Side of Midnight. Host Lionel and his cast of late-night callers tackle a veritable cornucopia of topics, starting with the weird world of hallucinogens, drug-fueled historical misadventures like Doc Ellis pitching a no-hitter on acid, and the paralyzing effects of 1970s Quaaludes. Buckle up for mind-bending neurological deep-dives into synesthesia, phantom vision in the blind, and the electrical origins of deja vu. The late-night existentialism reaches its peak with philosophical detours into the ethics of hell, the concept of limbo, and a caller's baffling debate over whether God committed adultery with Joseph's wife. From a man who permanently lost his sanity after winning $37,000 at the racetrack to stoner theories about the order of the alphabet, this episode is a hilarious, mysterious, and profound journey into the human mind.

A few weeks ago I mentioned we were working on a new podcast series called Exponential Clarity. The first episode is out. I wrote something in my book Results back in 2016 that I've been thinking about a lot lately: "Giving humanity exponential technology at our current level of consciousness is like giving a toddler a machine gun." I wrote that eight years before ChatGPT; before the wave we're living through right now. In this first episode, Andrea Deltetto and I dig into what that actually means - and why the gap between our technological capability and our understanding of our own minds has never mattered more than it does right now. We're already on the rope bridge. The question is what we bring with us to cross it. If you're a leader, a change-worker, an entrepreneur, or someone who helps others navigate change and uncertainty - I think you'll find this one particularly relevant. Big love, Jamie

What does it mean to seek God, and what does it mean to desire God? What role do our emotions play in seeking and desiring God? Can we still desire God even if we feel nothing? In this episode, Matt addresses these and other questions. In the Western Christian world, there's a tendency to center one's relationship with God around emotion and feelings. Some Christians turn Christianity into nothing but brainy intellectualism. How can we leave room for both emotions and the life of the mind without reducing everything down to one or the other? Listen to find out! Mentioned in this episode: “Teach me to seek you, and as I seek you, show yourself to me; for I cannot seek you unless you show me how, and I will never find you unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you by desiring you, and desire you by seeking you; let me find you by loving you, and love you in finding you. Amen."

Are classroom screens really helping children learn—or quietly working against how their brains develop?In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath joins us to discuss his new book The Digital Delusion and what the science actually says about technology in the classroom.For years, schools have been told that more technology means better learning. But many of the ideas that built the EdTech movement—like “multimedia enhances learning,” “kids learn best on their own,” and “AI tutors can replace teachers”—were never strongly supported by evidence.Dr. Horvath explains what the data actually shows about classroom technology, including the surprising cognitive tradeoffs of 1:1 devices, why handwriting and reading on paper still outperform screens for deep learning, and why the brain struggles with multitasking and constant digital interruptions.We also explore the three biological drivers of learning—attention, empathy, and transfer—and why screens often disrupt all three.Perhaps most importantly, we discuss developmental timing. Children's brains are highly sensitive to environmental input, and heavy exposure to screen-based stimulation can shape reward pathways, condition dopamine systems, and increase vulnerability to compulsive screen use later in life.Is it really possible to “moderate” highly stimulating screen activities? And what should parents do in a world where technology seems unavoidable?If you've ever wondered whether all this classroom technology is truly helping your child—or quietly making learning harder—this conversation will give you the science, the context, and the reassurance parents need.Because the goal of education isn't just to use technology. It's to help children learn deeply and prepare for life beyond the screen.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.

Join Jemma and Marina who are trying to process the latest news cycle.At time of record, Donald Trump has bombed seven countries in twelve months. Super - really earning that peace prize he's after. Diplomacy with Iran was reportedly within reach just 24 hours before US–Israeli strikes began yet here we are. Still, ignorance is bliss because some Dubai influencers are mainly worried about missing meetings or a flight. The Trawl ladies look at the legality of the attacks under the US Constitution and the UN Charter, the collapse of negotiations, and the human cost, including, tragically the bombing of a girls' school and a hospital hit in Tehran. Why does the language shift depending on who the victims are? And why does nuance suddenly disappear when it comes to condemning both authoritarian regimes and reckless military escalation?They discuss the euphoria felt by some Iranians at the death of the Ayatollah and the worry about what comes next. They examine Trump's call for Iranians to “rise up” against a heavily armed regime, the historical precedent of abandoned uprisings, and the now-familiar promise that the “worst bombing is still to come.”There's nuclear hypocrisy, oil politics, Operation “Epic Fury,” and a Medal of Honor ceremony detour into ballroom interiors.If this is liberation, it's a strange way of showing it.It's chaos. It's escalation. It's The Trawl.Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you've even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you'll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there's a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it's your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.

Some people are not bad at learning. They were just trained inside the wrong system. Russell Van Brocklen joins Matt and Luigi for a conversation that starts with dyslexia but quickly turns into something much bigger: how highly capable people get mislabeled, misunderstood, and boxed into models that do not match how their brains actually work. If you run a business, manage people, or have ever felt like you think differently than the world expects, this episode will feel strangely familiar. Inside this episode: Why dyslexics often function as specialists, not generalists How traditional education mirrors many workplace problems The hidden pattern behind "smart but struggling" Why writing can stabilize fast, scattered thinking The cost trap families and systems fall into Extreme performance shifts from simple changes Why environment fit often beats raw ability

Are you carrying too much in your head right now? Between client details, timelines, delegation, and daily decisions, it can feel like your brain never fully turns off. In this episode, I introduce the concept of a digital brain and explain how creating external storage for your ideas, systems, and responsibilities can dramatically lighten your mental load and support a more efficient interior design business.       I share why your human brain was never meant to hold everything and how relying on memory alone increases overwhelm and mistakes. You'll learn how to create simple, centralized digital spaces that protect your time and mental bandwidth, support better delegation, and reduce the constant looping of unfinished tasks. When you free up mental space, you create more room for creativity, thoughtful leadership, and strategic growth in your design business.        Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/165        Access the free Get It Done Daily Planner: https://www.desicreswell.com/resources      Sign up for my Monday Mindset email list to get bite-sized insights on topics that you can use to set your week up for success: https://www.desicreswell.com/monday-mindset     Follow along or send me a message on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desicreswell/

Farrier training and education in the United States can be a touchy subject amongst people in our trade. Whether or not 6-8 weeks is long enough for someone to be able to successfully learn all the skills needed to become a successful farrier or if attending a school that has a large amount of students at that time if you're going to be able to get enough attention from the instructor to learn the valuable skills needed. This episode isn't about dogging on the current farrier schools we have in the US. This episode is about the farrier school that Brian Strelow has developed to be more hands on and attentive from the instructor to give you the best possible options of becoming a successful farrier. Brian developed a 6 month curriculum for two students at a time to attend where they can gain so much exposure and education in that amount of time without feeling left out or possibly missed. The biggest thing i learned someone can gain from his school is the amount of exposure one will get by enrolling in Brian's school.

In this episode of Translating ADHD, Asher and Dusty discuss the crucial role of fun and joy as essential tools for managing ADHD. They explore how many people with ADHD fall into the trap of endless to-do lists and feel they must “earn” their fun, which leads to burnout, depletion, and a life spent in procrastination or the “dark playground” — a place of unproductive scrolling and disengagement. By prioritizing fun and incorporating playfulness into daily routines, individuals can create the mental capacity and motivation needed to tackle tasks more effectively. Dusty shares a personal story about transforming the mundane task of taking calcium pills into a joyful ritual, highlighting how small changes in aesthetics and mindset can make a significant difference. The hosts also introduce a framework called the "Forces of Fun," breaking down fun into four categories: create, consume, commune, and cavort. They emphasize the importance of making space for pure fun, even when it feels difficult due to executive dysfunction or burnout. Strategies such as pre-deciding activities or creating dopamine menus help overcome barriers to engaging in enjoyable activities. The episode concludes with a reminder that fun is a birthright and an essential part of self-care for people with ADHD—not a reward to be earned but a necessary part of living well.

What is it like to be a brain surgeon? How much of our personality is determined by brain structure? Do we truly have free will or is it an illusion created by neural processes? Will there ever be a cure for dementia? And could artificial intelligence replace neurosurgeons? In this episode of Good Is In The Details, hosts Gwendolyn Dolske, Ph.D., and Rudy Salo sit down with renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Theodore Schwartz, author of Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery, to explore the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, medical ethics, and culture. Dr. Schwartz offers a rare, inside look at what it means to operate on the human brain: the organ that houses memory, identity, personality, and consciousness itself. From the evolution of brain surgery to cutting-edge research, he explains how the brain functions, how structure shapes behavior, and why understanding neuroplasticity is essential to both medicine and human development. The conversation moves into the philosophical debate of free will vs. determinism. If our thoughts, impulses, and decisions arise from neural circuitry, do we truly choose — or are we the product of biology? Is the "mind" something distinct from the brain, or is it an emergent property of physical processes? Drawing on pop culture references like Star Trek, Memento, and Gattaca, this episode connects neuroscience with questions long explored in philosophy and science fiction. The discussion also addresses: How brain injuries alter personality The future of dementia research The promise and limits of neuroplasticity Why AI is unlikely to replace human neurosurgeons What makes brain surgery uniquely human Dr. Schwartz explains why, despite advances in artificial intelligence, neurosurgery requires intuition, judgment, and embodied skill that cannot be automated. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in: medical ethics neuroscience and consciousness the philosophy of mind free will and determinism dementia and brain health AI in medicine how identity is shaped by the brain The brain is the seat of personality, memory, and moral agency. Understanding how it functions challenges our assumptions about responsibility, autonomy, and what it means to be human. Through thoughtful dialogue, Good Is In The Details bridges philosophy and real-world expertise, offering listeners tools to think more deeply about science, ethics, and the nature of consciousness.

In this inaugural episode of Brains at Work, I delve into the profound relationship between human cognition and our work environments. As a designer and researcher with a focus on psychology and neuroscience, I explore how understanding the intricacies of the brain can revolutionize the way we approach work. We uncover the significance of decision-making processes, recognize inherent biases, and highlight the importance of neurodiversity in the workplace. Throughout our discussion, I emphasize the need for inclusivity and emotional safety in professional settings. It's essential to recognize that work is not merely a series of tasks; it is fundamentally about cognition. By embracing a design framework that considers every unique cognitive profile, we pave the way for a working environment that supports and nurtures the capabilities of all individuals, irrespective of their cognitive styles. I share my journey and the multifaceted roles I play in this field, underscoring the complexity of defining oneself when wearing multiple professional hats. My aim is to facilitate a shift in perspective—one that urges businesses and individuals to cultivate creativity and harness the collective potential of their teams. Join me as we set the stage for future conversations and engage in discussions designed to empower everyone to thrive at work. This is just the beginning of an exciting exploration into designing work that truly accommodates every brain. 00:00:13 Introduction to Brains at Work 00:01:17 The Many Hats We Wear

Turns out you don't learn faster when you're stressed, you learn faster when you're happy! So let's talk about treating your brain like a friend, not a factory worker. Muscles respond to stress with pretty linear upgrades; brains don't. Brains upgrade through meaning, novelty, and attention—especially when something feels like play. That's why memory champions don't “grind” digits: they build absurd stories and mental rooms and suddenly their recall looks like magic. Same with skills. Stress is useful—but mostly as a signal: “avoid that.” If you want real output, your job is to become a better teacher to yourself: make the hard thing interesting enough that you'll come back tomorrow. Turn one task into a game (score it, time it, level it up). Find the “fun entry point” and start there, not with drills. Reduce stress friction: smaller reps, better cues, better environment. Listen in—and pick one thing to make genuinely enjoyable today. SPONSORS

If you’ve stopped and looked up in the middle of a shopping centre or on your train or bus commute, there’s probably one think you’d notice – almost everybody you encounter having their faced buried in their phones. The growth of social media and smartphones means we are constantly looking to be entertained. Today’s guest says – that’s a problem. And he would know, he’s an acclaimed cognitive neuroscientist who has studied behaviour and brain imaging research for more than 25 years. In his new book, Dr Mark Williams reveals how screen exposure is rewiring our brains, especially those of our children. From dopamine loops and social media addiction… to loneliness, parenting, and the subtle ways technology reshapes memory and relationships - this is a conversation every parent needs to hear. While there’s plenty that is scary in our discussion, Mark also has some simple and effective solutions to help build real-life resilience and connections in a digital world.

Tomás Bogardus joins to discuss his book "The Nature of the Sexes" and argues for a reproductive-functional account of biological sex. According to Bogardus, males and females are defined by the reproductive function their bodies are structured to perform: producing sperm or eggs. Even when that function is not realized and no sperm or eggs are produced, a person's sex remains the same, because it is grounded in biological organization. To defend this view, Bogardus considers intersex and DSD cases, critiques contextualist accounts that treat sex as domain-dependent, and argues for a unified meaning of “male” and “female.” The conversation later turns to whether sex is essential or changeable, as well as debates about pronouns, sports, and medical interventions for minors.[00:00] Introduction to the Debate on Sex[00:23] The Delivery Room Thought Experiment: "It's a Boy/Girl"[02:04] Sex as Reproductive Function[07:41 ]Gametes, Competitor Theories, and the Non-Producers Objection[11:29] Intersex & DSD Cases[19:23] Contextualism and Cluster Concepts: Sex in Sports, Bathrooms, Dating?[26:23] Conjunction Reduction & Animal Examples: Rooster vs Crocodile[30:24] One Unified Meaning of Sex Terms[32:06] Are ‘Man' and ‘Woman' Social Roles or Biological Sexes?[37:15] Is Sex Essential or Contingent?

What does this mean for what counts as explanatory, and how might AI help us in the near future? What does any of this have to do with how the drug Ritalin got its name? Today we’ll speak with neuroscientist Nicole Rust, author of Elusive Cures.
