Podcast Notes 🗒️

Rick Rubin has low heart rate variability. So he looked up everything that raises it, picked one technique, and started doing it every day. It worked. The technique: coherence breathing. 10 to 20 minutes a day, at least once, sometimes twice. Now he and @hubermanlab do it together on camera so you can follow along:

Fun fact: 8 billion people are alive today partly because of bird poop. Humanity has survived worse than whatever you're panicking about right now. listen to @friedberg explain it:

Best advice @hubermanlab ever got, from two mentors: 1. Mike Mentzer on training: Low volume, high intensity. 3 to 4x a week, never over 75 minutes. He has done this for 30 years. 2. Robert T. Knight on work: Figure out how much you can consistently do each week. Then find a non-destructive way to reset. His is hiking.

You don't even have to look at them for it to work. Memory researcher Larry Squire told Huberman: put photos of good memories on your wall. Just walking past them primes your unconscious mind toward the positive. Paul Conti called it controlling the climate inside yourself. Most of us are doing the opposite without realizing it. Constantly scanning for what's wrong. Building a climate of fear inside yourself without even trying. The photos flip the bias. You're not doing therapy. You're just walking to the kitchen.

@stephenehorn Then maybe the schools should stop being woke dogshit

Reminder, each student who leaves a public school in North Carolina to receive voucher-funded education could save the taxpayers ~$13-18k in a school district like Durham

@SirajAHashmi Was it with Hantavirus or from it? 😂

Coroners marked it as a “Hantavirus death”

Full depravity of Hamas during October 7 revealed for the first time: New report details how terrorists performed almost unimaginable horrors upon Israeli families trib.al/olj7tnv

This sounds like an interesting solution, to a potential nightmare! It would get rid of all the cults here in American, as well!

@Cernovich @Average_NY_Guy When Trump said this, so many women were literally offended by the idea…

A mind not occupied with the outside will turn on its user.

Anxiety is not your personality. You just never dealt with your problems @naval nailed it here: 1. Stress happens when two desires conflict. Name them, pick one, and it loses its grip 2. Anxiety is just a mountain of unresolved problems you never stopped to deal with 3. Any moment you're not fully present, you missed it. It's gone forever 4. Your gut is the real decision maker. Your brain just rationalizes it after the fact 5. Every bad decision you ever made, you already knew. You just wanted it to be different

You probably need an IQ over ~105 to understand this… This statistical reality puts to bed 98% of the race-grifting philosophy of the D party, and their allies in fake “studies” humanities courses. Sadly, the politicians and profs are mostly too dumb or too unethical to agree.

@pittiecoco @hubermanlab 🤏

@podcastnotes @hubermanlab How much juice was Mentzer on? Yeah, thanks.

Naval Ravikant doesn't run meetings. Doesn't use Slack. Doesn't have managers. And he thinks drones are about to do to modern states what the rifle did to feudalism. Here's how he sees the next decade 🧵

@JTLonsdale Good thing Obama and Bill F’in Gates got to decide what our “common core” is. They teach the human body for 5 years in a row, but none of what matters

The principles & values of today's public education are the opposite of USA founders' intentions. Students must learn natural rights, liberty, and myriad dangers of govt power! Children also need strong moral foundations. Poor education is the root of a LOT of our problems.

@EricLDaugh But @jason told us they just wanted to work!

🚨 GREAT NEWS! Iraqi migrant fumes and declares: "Without welfare, I cannot stay [in America]!" Good riddance 👋🏻 The fact ANY foreigner would stay for welfare is exactly why they need to leave. AMERICANS FIRST. 🇺🇸

@warDaniel47 But @jason read a stupid report that said this is impossible! May be the exception and not at all a real issue.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! No WONDER Gavin Newsom is suing to block Trump's executive order requiring barcode tracking for mail-in ballots CA vote fraudster Shakir Khan had 71 NAMES and 41 COMPLETED MAIL-IN BALLOTS at his single house They want to protect fraud.

@jposhaughnessy can we fund the writers from Fringe to make more shows using AI? 🙏
