Episode notes
Fast Food and Depression
- People eat fast food for enjoyment, not nutrition, especially when seeking a dopamine boost.
- Scott Adams's "pleasure unit theory" suggests people find enjoyment somehow, even in unhealthy ways if necessary.
Robots and Emotions
- Robots can likely understand human emotions by recognizing patterns in body language and micro-expressions, just like people and hypnotists do.
- This pattern recognition is more effective than relying on galvanic skin response.
Trump's Negotiation Strategy

- By appearing committed to escalating the war, he pressures Russia into a deal.
