Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin · Angus Fletcher · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

Would you like to see if they actually work?

Would you like to see if the human brain does think it's story?

Would you like to see if you could bring in people and help them develop their imagination and their intuition and get better and more effective at these things?

And I was like, yeah, I would like to do this.

And I was like, well, why do you want me to do this?

Like, what are you gonna do with this information?

and they said well we've noticed that young people coming into special operations are not as imaginative they're not as intuitive they don't have as much common sense when they hit these volatile and uncertain situations they're unable to cope with them and so we're starting to have a real crisis in special operations because back in the day

We had so many folks who would come in who would have imagined, you know, back in the 70s, basically.

And our job was just to pick the ones who were the most imaginative.

But now what's happening is we don't have anyone who's imaginative.

And we need to figure out how to train up that ability in young folks or else basically special operations is going to die.

And I was like, okay, this is kind of like a cool problem.

It's a wild story.

Yeah, it is totally wild.

Yeah.

And there was a long period of time where they thought I might be a total scam artist, you know, because a lot of the stuff I was saying, they'd be like, well, where's the evidence for this?

And I was like, well, you read this book.

And they would be like, this book is written by you.

I was like, yes, that's right, but the evidence.

They're like, yes, but where's there another book that isn't written by you that has the evidence?
