Likes Colorado. Likes Montana.

“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.”

The good, the bad, and the ugly. So I think there’s something magical about two, three, four hours, but it doesn’t have to be that long, but it has to have that feeling to it where there’s not people standing around and everybody’s nervous and you’re going to be strictly sticking to the question-and-answer type of feel, but just shooting shit, which Rogan is the best by far in the world at that.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
