People, especially as we get into adulthood, and we're all busy and we're all trying to pay the bills and take care of the family and all that. In a sense, we're trying to minimize decision fatigue. It takes some energy to stop and think about, why am I making this decision? Is this the right decision?

Am I considering what could be if I did something different, or am I just trying to get through the day? It's understandable, but I think a little more introspection on how and why we make our decisions is probably a good thing.

You know, I think there's a bunch of research on how exploring changes across the lifespan. And we naturally explore less as we get older, and that makes sense, because we know more about the world, so we don't need to explore as much, and we... have less time left to enjoy it, to be brutally frank about it.

There's less value in discovering something new at my age than there was when I was eight years old and would have had an extra four decades to enjoy whatever that thing is. So there's a tendency to kind of accept this slide of this gradual decrease of exploration that makes sense. One of the researchers I spoke to, I asked a lot of researchers, like, should we be trying to explore more?

And he said, you know, this decline in exploration is natural. But what you have to remember is that unlike a million years ago when we were evolving, if you're 60 years old, you've probably got a good, you know, and if you're lucky enough to be healthy, you've got a good two or three decades more of living and enjoying things.

So you need to still be exploring because we live a long time now and we have the opportunity to keep discovering new things. So that's a message that really struck home for me.

Thank you, Mike. I really appreciate you having me on.
