Nah you're alright Huberman but you need to watch how you present things. I'm angry at myself here, but not really. You say you never got into cannabis and alcohol. Good for you. You were born lucky.
Some were not. Be careful what you share. I am kinda shitting myself about putting this info about ari on the internet if I'm honest but it's a well known pharmaceutical and people can't just buy it at the convenience store.
Ashwaghanda you warned me about but fuuuuuck that felt so good for 2 weeks and then...
But it wasn't just that.
It was dopamine.
You know the research but your system is not broken. You don't... understand. You can never understand and that's ok. Neither did I. I thought everyone lived in a world of pain. Maybe this is what delineates buddhists?
I like the fact you share real information but think it's just a bit too out of context.
My brain - while I was out for 7 consecutive days of 200km/+4000m 12 hour bike rides in summer holding HR at stead 155BPM and laser focused next to those dump trucks. My brain devouuuuured everything you fed it. And it ran simulations. And it extrapolated. And it made a big fucking mess.
And you sat and read papers next to the fire because you're D1 and I'm D5.
No choice but to act on it. Just like you have had no choice but to act on your dopamine thing to date, though my info is a couple of years old.
Anyway this is your chance to change track mate. I am laying a new track for you here. See threads. Here is a new track for you:
The world is struggling because of overstimulation due to flashy light and loud noises.
Because of how dopamine functions (and this is why I am writing to Elon Musk above you) we are collectively blind to this fact chase it.
It's not our fault or your fault or anybody's fault. It is brain.
The way to achieve some form of peace is to try to minimise the disruption in your dopamine levels while keeping them fairly high
This is an accurate narrative according to my life experience of nearly fucking dying and killing at least 4 fully-formed personalities through pushing so hard into a processing overload migraine again and again that I inflict trauma responses on myself.
Because I had too rapid fluctuations in my dopamine levels.

PS. What you should focus on is how people can offload memory. These memory migraines suck bad and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone had some minor variation on them because of data overload.
