Episode notes
Brain Invents Tomorrow
- The human brain invents tomorrow using very little or no information.
- It thinks in action (plans) rather than processing raw data like a computer.
Story Is The Brain's OS
- Stories are sequences of actions and they are how our brains think.
- School wrongly treats story as communication instead of the brain's operating system.
Special Forces Tested His Theory
- Army Special Operations sent Angus to test his methods and infiltrated his lab.
- A teaching instructor translated his ideas into practice and made the training effective.
