エピソード概要

This episode is the second half of my recent live Q&A. I cover what I’m doing to try to prevent Alzheimer’s, how to change when you can see exactly what’s keeping you stuck, staying hopeful as current events turn darker, what Quantified Self 2.0 would need to deliver, where psychedelics fit in my life now, how I think about “all-natural” vs. synthetic options, and much more.

[00:27:37] Fix your state: exercise. [00:27:58] The best way to spend 5K–10K to get current on AI (you don’t need to). [00:29:59] Where psychedelics fit for me now, shorter-acting compounds, and anti-inflammatory effects at tiny doses. [00:33:49] Hugh Jackman’s 2,000-meter row. [00:37:17] What Quantified Self 2.0 would need to show me, and the missing piece of behavior change. [00:43:26] Life before and after psychedelics, and losing the fear of death. [00:49:59] “All-
