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

Well, in my opinion, an agnostic believes that they can form a conclusion of certainty.

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

They just don't think they've acquired enough information.

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

I'm just saying the overall condition of humanity is one of uncertainty.

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

We have a similar outlook.

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

Yeah, and so I think that the uncertainty is what scares the shit out of people more than anything.

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

It scares me, I wish I could have my faith.

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

And that's just it, is that I think that, well, no, I'm just saying that I think that when you admit the uncertainty, I think that's when you really tap into your power

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

And I think that's when you really start to figure things out.

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

So I think that we, as a society, need to admit that we have not figured things out and that we have made mistakes.

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

And that rather than running from that fear of, oh my God, but what's that going to create?

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

We need to say, look, in order to figure things out, we first have to admit that we haven't figured things out.

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

And that means that we have to say things are uncertain right now.

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

And so ultimately, I think that it's just that balance

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

base human fear of wanting to run from the uncertainty, I think that that's ultimately what drives the political landscape.

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

Yeah.

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

It's like religious people, they need certainty.

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

And in my opinion, they are willing to pull a bag over their eyes.

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

It ignores some very, very, like to me, very telling facts, archaeological record, et cetera, et cetera.

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

But then you have the people on the science side where they...

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

they've used science to quell that need for certainty.
