Dr. K, welcome.

So interested in you and the knowledge you hold.

a number of things.

I mean, Ayurveda and East-West medicine, motivation and dopamine.

But I want to start with the internet.

You had an interesting upbringing, so very different than mine, not just because of our age difference, but you grew up on the internet.

And so you really have an empathy for people on the internet, on social media.

Now everyone's on the internet.

What was it that drew you to screens and that interface?

with such a degree of magnetism?

If you don't mind me asking, so you were first-generation immigrant parents from India.

Yep.

I mean, I grew up in the South Bay in Palo Alto, so I'm familiar with...

intense academic environments.

Increasingly so in the last 10, 20 years, but even when I was there, it was intense.

Did you feel that as pressure?

Well, it sounds like you were so into computers, you eventually went over the cliff of computers with this addiction.

I want to talk about the addiction, but I think this is a perfect frame.

And maybe we'll jump back and forth as we move forward.

This is a perfect frame for addiction.
