“I’ve always wanted to also have a place in a very rural area, so Colorado or Montana are high on my list right now, and to be able to pivot back and forth between the two would be great, just for such different experiences. And also, I like a very physical life, so the idea of getting up with the sun in a Montana or a Colorado type environment, and I’ve been putting some effort towards finding a spot for that.”

04 / belief
“I think that thankfully more often than not, people lean away from the violent and harmful parts of their shadow.”
05 / belief
“Like for instance, I think when we don’t try and process it too much… Okay, look at this cat, this civic cat.”
06 / belief
“I agree that long-form conversation is a whole other business, and I think that people want and deserve to know the people that are running for office in a different way and to really get to know them.”
07 / belief
“There was one person in particular who came out swinging with language that in my opinion is not of the sort that you would use at a university venue, especially among colleagues, but that’s fine.”
08 / commitment
“The moment that forts and dirt clod wars and stuff didn’t cut it, we just wanted into the city. So bucket list, I will probably move to a major city, not Los Angeles or San Francisco, in the next few years.”
09 / belief
“Everyone talks about this. Not creating a commune or anything like that, but I think Jonathan’s right.”
10 / belief
“I mean, I think there’s a lot of errors out there on the internet and people are finding them and it’s cool.”
11 / belief
“The oracle, know thyself. And I think… Listen, I have a friend – he’s a new friend, but he’s a friend – who I met for a meal.”
12 / belief
“I think that if you wait until you’re feeling at your best to train, sometimes that’s detrimental. Because then in the afternoon when you’re doing the work we get paid for like research, podcasting, etc.”
13 / belief
“Not anime, that’s not my thing, but animation, so I’m very interested in the use of animation to get science content across. So there are a bunch of things brewing, but anyway, I delight in Sartore’s work and there’s a conservation aspect to it as well, but I think that mostly, I want to thank you for finally putting up something where something’s not being killed or there’s some sad outcome.”
14 / evaluation
“Certainly, smoking, dipping, vaping, and snuffing aren’t good because you’re going to run into… They would run into trouble for other reasons.”
15 / preference
“What I would like to see in politics and in health is neither right nor left, but what we can just call a league of reasonable people that looks at things on an issue-by-issue basis and fills in the center because I think most people are in the… I don’t want to say center in a political way, but I think most people are reasonable, they want to be reasonable, but that’s not what sells clicks.”
16 / evaluation
“Because then on other days when I don’t take it, I get unbelievably tired at that time that normally I would do the injection.”
17 / evaluation
“It’s a big lizard-looking thing that doesn’t eat very often, and they figured out that there’s this peptide that allows it to curb its own appetite at the level of the brain and the gut, and it has a lot of homology to, sequence homology, to what we now call GLP-1. So I love any time there’s animal biology links to cool human biology links to a drug that’s powerful that can help people with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and there’s evidence they can even curb some addictions.”
18 / recommendation
“I think one of the things that was most striking to me was how he said, when we take ourselves out of stimulus and response and we just force ourselves to spend some time in the quiet of our thoughts while walking or while seated or while lying down, doesn’t have to be meditation, but it could be, that we access our unconscious mind in ways that reveals to us who we really are and what we really want.”
19 / preference
“I use it, so after that morning block, I’ll eat some lunch and I’ll usually do something while I’m doing lunch or something, and then a bit more work and that real work, deep work.”
20 / evaluation
“They’re known for mentoring some of the best scientists that then go on to start their own labs. And I think in podcasting, I am very fortunate I got in a fairly early wave, not the earliest wave, but thanks to your suggestion of doing a podcast, fairly early wave.”
21 / evaluation
“When we’re happy, we rarely think this is going to last forever, which is an interesting contrast in its own right. But I think that psychedelics, while I have very little experience with them, I have some, and it sounds like they’re just a very interesting window into the different apertures.”
22 / preference
“I also just generally try and avoid taking peptides that tap into these hormone pathways because you can run into all sorts of issues.”
23 / recommendation
“So I’m reading an amazing book called An Immense World by Ed Yong. He won a Pulitzer for We Contain Multitudes or something like that, I think is the title of the other book.”
24 / recommendation
“The comments, I love the comments on YouTube because occasionally they’re funny because.”
25 / belief
“I’m talking about from both sides, male, female or whatever sides, but where it’s like assets and liabilities. And that’s where it starts getting into those complicated contracts early on, I think.”
26 / uncertainty
“We had set it up and he was just so happy there. And I think, I don’t know, it was this weird victory slash massive loss.”
27 / belief
“I think in the next five, 10 years, we’re going to see a dramatic shift towards more discussion about sexual and reproductive health in a way that acknowledges that, yeah, the clitoris comes from the same origin tissue as the penis. And in many ways the neural innervation of the two, while clearly different, has some overlapping features that there’s going to be discussion around anatomy and hormones and pelvic floors in a way that’s going to erode some of the cloaking of these topics because they’ve been cloaked for a long time and there’s a lot of… Well, let’s just call it what it is.”
28 / evaluation
“The trust piece is huge and that’s where people start, we don’t want to focus on what works, not what doesn’t work, but that’s where, I think, people start engaging in these covert contracts.”
29 / belief
“I suppose it could, but I think the friendship piece is extremely important, because what’s required in a successful relationship, clearly is joy in being together, trust, a desire to share experience, both mundane and more adventurous, support each other, acceptance, a real, maybe even admiration, but certainly delight, in being with the person.”
30 / belief
“People will pair up along creative-creative or musical-musical or computer scientists. But I think, again, going back to this Conti episode on relationships is that the superficial labels are less important, it seems, than just the desire to create that kind of home life and relationship together.”
31 / belief
“I think Deisseroth, when he was on here, your podcast, mentioned something that, I think the words were… Or maybe it was in his book, I don’t recall.”
32 / belief
“There’s a lot of variable, but there haven’t been systematic studies. So I think probably the best thing to do, unless they’re going to do IVF, is just roll the dice.”
33 / belief
“I was sore for two weeks, but I learned a lot and didn’t get injured, and yes, we ate bow-hunted elk afterwards.”
34 / belief
“I think, based on my experience, and based on input from friends, who themselves have very successful relationships, I must say, I’ve got friends who are in long-term, monogamous, very happy relationships, where there seems to be a lot of love, a lot of laughter, a lot of challenge and a lot of growth.”
35 / belief
“I think that’s what Costello wanted, I think, I have this story in my head that he was just like, “Okay, take this like a kid.”
36 / evaluation
“I never liked the phrase history repeats itself when it comes to humans because it doesn’t apply if the people or the person is actively working to resolve their own flaws.”
37 / recommendation
“I only rolled jiu jitsu with you once but there was a period of time where I boxed which I don’t recommend.”
38 / preference
“I think loyalty is a good thing to cling to, provided that when loyalty is broken, that it doesn’t disrupt too many other areas of your life.”
39 / evaluation
“I think the shadow parts of us are very important to come to understand and look better to understand them and know that they’re there and work with them than to not acknowledge their presence and have them surface in the form of addictions or behaviors that damage us in other people.”
40 / prediction
“” I mean, I have this theory that certainly my experience has taught me that a lot of people but I’ll talk about men because that’s what I know best, whether or not they show up strong or not, that they’re really afraid of being weak.”
41 / evaluation
“This is advanced contracting of behavior for a species that normally we don’t think of as sophisticated as us. So it’s very interesting and it gets to something that I hope we’ll have an opportunity to talk about because it’s something that I’m obsessed with lately, is this notion of overt versus covert contracts, right?”
42 / preference
“engage with people socially and not be podcasting 24 hours a day in your head is key. But I think I love learning and researching and finding those papers and the information, and I love teaching it.”
43 / evaluation
“Overt contracts are the signature of all things good. And I think about this a lot because I’ve seen a lot of examples of this.”
44 / evaluation
“I think my cognition is better when I’m doing more cardio and when the repetition ranges are a little bit or higher, which is not to say that people who lift heavy are dumb, but there is a… Because there’s real value in lifting heavy.”
45 / evaluation
“I will say this, that four episode series with Paul is at least to date, the most important work I’ve ever been involved in in all of my career because it’s very clear that we are not taught how to explore our subconscious and that very few people actually understand how to do that.”
