2026/09/21

In this video, we explore *"You're Not Depressed, You're Distracted"* by Facundo Cabral. I know it may seem like a contradiction, especially after recently diving into Robert Sapolsky’s lecture on the biology of depression, but today we’re setting aside clinical depression for a moment to dive into Cabral's radical perspective. His message? Much of what we label as depression is really just distraction—distraction from life’s beauty, from love, from the present moment. We’ll unpack Cabral’s

2026/09/20

In this video, I explore Malcolm Gladwell’s *Blink*—a fascinating look into how we humans (and yes, even AI to some extent) make snap judgments in the blink of an eye. We often think our most important decisions come from long, careful analysis, but what if our gut instinct could actually be more reliable? From tennis coaches who predict faults to art experts spotting forgeries, *Blink* shows how your brain's unconscious mind can filter out the noise, recognize patterns, and deliver answers faster

Why You Have Never Thought Alone

2026/09/18

Have you ever thought you knew how something works only to realize, when asked to explain it, that your understanding was a lot shallower than you thought? Welcome to *The Knowledge Illusion*, where cognitive scientists Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach argue that human intelligence is deeply collective. We never think alone – our brains evolved to collaborate, to divide cognitive labor, and to share knowledge with others. This video will take you on a wild, gonzo-style ride through the illusion of

AI might mimic intelligence, but it will never experience the world as
