Huberman Lab · How to Improve Your Memory & Cognitive Function at Any Age | Dr. Alan Castel · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

You're having to transform that knowledge and say, now I'm going to apply it in this one emergency situation.

So maybe that's the difference between, you know, knowledge, which is like, I know so much and then wisdom of like how to carry it out or when it's appropriate.

But some of the best coaches are the ones who are the worst.

Tommy Lasorda, all these people are like, they struggled and they've seen it and now they're gonna go into coaching.

And maybe that's the same with older adults.

Again, these two older adults who took my class who were therapists, it's like, if you see a therapist, would you wanna see a 20 year old or would you wanna see a 50 or 60 year old?

It just seems like there's gonna be a difference in what they bring to the table.

It's a great question.

I'm not of the era that my children are in terms of using AI, but I'd love to be like, answer this like an 80-year-old would.

How would you present it differently if you were older versus younger?

Because a lot of it is just so much more information than I'm like, wow, that's great.

Can you summarize?

I don't use it often, but sometimes I'm like, can you summarize this?

Sometimes it misses things and sometimes it's good.

But yeah, it's really fascinating how

how that sort of synthesis can be so transforming.

And even my son's like, why do I have to learn this when I can just ask AI now?

And it used to be when I was a kid, why do I have to learn this when I can just look it up in an encyclopedia, right?

It's like the information is always gonna be there, but it's like how you're gonna use it kind of in an informed way.

And I always say, could you imagine if the next president said, I don't know our foreign policy with Mexico, but I could look it up.
