Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Two things can be true.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

I felt like I was good at heart and yet, behaviorally speaking, a total piece of shit.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

One of the things I resonated in the conversation with Claudia Rao was these kids, I include myself here, right?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Maybe not to the same degree as some of the people she was talking about.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

They're coming with major, major problems.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Yeah, they're not the easy kids to deal with.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

No, but to say it that way isn't giving it the truth.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

When people sign up to do foster care, they're not signing up to like have their daily lives induced with constant nonstop stress for 10 years.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

It's just very hard.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And so when I try to forgive my grandparents, it's in that light.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Now, I don't know if you related at all to this, but I also think at a very young age, as social primates, we are justice machines.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

We look around and why did they get that and I didn't get this.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

That is how the whole system functions.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

You're monitoring who's getting what and my status entitles me to this.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And so I think even when you're young and you're looking around, like some kids have all this shit.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And I don't.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

I think you feel deputized to get what's yours.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Yeah, so I was not blessed with that thing.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

And I should say I was not cursed with that thing.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Sussillo (on foster care and neuroscience)

Cursed, yeah, yeah.
