Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Of course.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

I'm glad you did that.

And so there's a way for Eric to get that out that's not gross.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Yeah, it's a really powerful force to do things secretly.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

It's a good goal.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

It is.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

But again, so me saying that there seems to be no reward on the other side of it is also me saying like, oh, this is interesting because I know there is a reward, but I can't even imagine it, which is interesting and fun because I'm so locked into this architecture of like โ€“

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

People approve of you.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

That's how you know you're doing the right thing.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

It's like people approve of you.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Right.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

And that's where the growth is, is that why don't I value at all if I think I'm good?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Why doesn't my opinion about myself matter at all?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Unless it's negative, then I think it's very important.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Like when I'm self-flagellating, I think I'm the most astute observer of me in the world.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

And so, yeah, I think I am going into it with a blind faith that one day I'll wake up and go, oh, this is the reward.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

And I love it.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

But it is a bit of a blind faith pivot.
