Thank you for doing this, Stan. The national security/bad actors piece that I hadn't even considered is chilling. Meeting in person sounds like a great idea. Looking forward to hearing about how that goes, and perhaps one day you'll be offering courses on how to use AI for artists as the tools develop? or not? I'm also wondering if listening to audio books at high speeds all the time causes people to speak so rapidly - or creates a sub-culture of rapid speakers.

Every time I hear you say "intuitive perspective," and now in this video with skin as drapery, I keep hearing Steve (Huston) in my head (because he was the source of these ideas for me).

Wonderful care in this explanation. Thank you!

Really like where you're going with this new series, Stan; especially the growth mindset, awareness of positive psychology basics, and neuroscience supported ideas about when our results don't match up with our vision and how that supports achieving our goals.

WOW! What a brilliant job - wonderful, demonstrative, entertaining examples - and so great to see your face and hear your voice. YES, would love to see full length courses from Liandro!

There's a lot more to burnout. I've gotten some help from my studies within courses on Flow, and then taking a deeper dive for a personal project. Christina Maslach has decades of work on it, has a list of six burnout triggers (that can be very helpful for prevention of and healing from) and here's an online survey for that might be helpful for anyone wondering where they are right now, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). https://quiz.tryinteract.com/#/5ff8692ea989770016cbb2a0

Hello Darkmode my old friend...

Yikes! Can’t start a new career after and expect to be successful unless it’s directly connected to skills you’ve already developed???!!! That’s horrible advice, @Marshall Vandruff ! What are you thinking? Do you really believe that? Please reconsider that opinion, especially for your own sake. It reminds me of the 1970’s and 80’s when I was telling everyone who would listen that IQ is much more fluid than we realize, and nowadays, guess what we know! The understanding of myelination and remyelination in the CNS is still such a young science, I think it’s completely unreasonable to make such a pronouncement – perhaps even toxic. This is one of those situations where a little knowledge can be dangerous. I realize this episode was a book review of an old book, but still it would be much more useful to guide listeners to resources and lifestyle changes that increase and protect myelination at any age – exercise, learning anything and exploring curiosity with resources such as Wondrium, proper diet nurturing the microbiome, omega-3 fatty acids like EPA, vitamin D, etc. – rather than saying if you’re over 50 it’s too late. 

Time audits...I do these, I know my chronotype and what times are best suited for what tasks, and yet if I schedule it in too strictly, despite well-considered NSDR (non-sleep deep recovery) breaks, it only works for a week at best, and then massive resistance and I have to change things up. Would love to know if anyone knows how to manage this kind of problem. Re: epiphanies, glad for the caution at the end. I think looking for answers is helpful and may or may not lead to an epiphany, but seeking them for their own sake seems like a good way of setting yourself up for reward prediction error.

Also, both of you wonderful answer about supporting your classmates and getting out of the mindframe of competition. Beautiful! 💖💖💖
