Andrew Huberman’s Mechanisms of Control via NY Mag
With repeated listening to the podcast, one discerns a man undergoing, in public, an effort to understand himself. There are hours of talking about addiction, trauma, dopamine, and fear. Narcissism comes up consistently. One can see attempts to understand and also places where those attempts swerve into self-indulgence.
Welcome to my online Commonplace Diary! I’ve been wanting a place to share things I find around the internet, whether it’s articles or links to watch or even a quote, that resonate with me. I’d rather not clutter up my blog with it so here we are on a sub-blog! Feel free to throw this into an RSS reader and subscribe…I’m working on getting an email subscription version up soon.
Today I’m sharing a great podcast with Cal Newport on the Huberman Lab podcast about productivity, social media, and some thoughts about adhd vs addiction I’ve been thinking about with regard to the rise in talk about adhd on social media–I’ve thought for a while now it is actually an addiction issue and a different pathway to neural changes in the brain rather than strictly adhd, though yes, there is a rise in that certainly. Anyway, great episode, it’s long but worth listening to even in spurts.
