Episode notes
Body Pre-Processes Reality Fast
- Your body processes reality about a third of a second before your brain does, filtering information rapidly.
- This pre-processing leads to many of our emotional and reactive responses being automatic, not consciously controlled.
Meditate to Control Stress Responses
- Use meditation to identify and control your autonomic nervous system's fight or flight responses.
- Practicing awareness over these states builds resilience and emotional control.
Living to 180 Is Plausible
- Longevity breakthroughs are exponential due to technology and AI accelerating medical research and therapies.
- Living to 180 is plausible with advances in reversing cellular aging and biohacking energy allocation.
