Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

I think that it is the most important decision we make three times a day.

If there was one policy, or not policy, but consumer decisions, because I'm a libertarian, that I could change, it would be about food.

And so people say, well, you would want government regulation.

Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

And I say, no, I actually think that government regulation is the reason why this current food system exists.

And I think it's because if you go to the store and you pick up a box of food and it has a label on it, says USDA organic or whatever you want, you have trust in the government and trust in this regulation.

And because of that, you don't hold out your magnifying glass and you don't become an educated consumer.

and lo and behold when we start to dig we see that the corporations have the ability to influence these regulations and have the ability to put things that clearly aren't organic into organic food and so to me it's because people have the belief that the government is there to save them when it comes to things like food they don't they don't act

Well, and I think that when things become necessary, I think that's what inspires action is ultimately what it comes down to.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

And I think now that I mean, here's and here's the reality.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

And people might not want to admit this.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

And I think this is why the libertarian message is not more popular.

Digital Social Hour

People are fucking lazy.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

They are lazy and they want it.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

You know, it's like people want a government hero to come in and fucking save them.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

so i agree with a lot of that but i guess one of my main criticisms is is that we go back and forth with politics all the time sure right we like this candidate we like that candidate we pass this law blah blah blah and nothing fucking changes yeah you understand yeah um but is that true though i mean again i i think in general i agree with you like politics is one of my least okay i don't want to i don't want to speak in absolutes but for the most part i don't think that there's

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753

I don't think that there is enough change.

There's still glyphosate in food.

Digital Social Hour
Erik Huberman vs. Bryan Calcott: Should the Government Protect You From Yourself? | DSH #1753
