I don't know.

Will it fix your future?

Who knows?

Do it anyway.

Because this is what's really interesting.

When we think about the conclusions that the brain makes, I couldn't resist it.

We're going into neuroscience.

When we look at the conclusions that the brain makes, what you have to understand is that if you're projecting out your future, the calculation is made by your current knowledge, right?

So our brain is making a calculation based on other centers of the brain.

Our hippocampus has a bunch of memories.

Our association cortices have a lot of good knowledge packed in there.

So we sort of have this projection of the future that is based on our current data set.

Logically altering that data set, thinking through certain problems can help some, but the best way for your brain to learn and change its calculation is to give it new experiences.

So I'm sure this has happened to you where you're like, oh, like I thought this thing was going to be really bad.

And it turns out it wasn't that bad.

So I can logically explain to you, oh, you know, an injection isn't going to hurt, but it is only through experience that your actual perspective towards it will change.

And what I see in the world today is lateralizing our efforts has become so easy that we've stopped experiencing.

Right.

So many of the problems that I see are going to be people posting about like, are all women, women this way or all men this way?

And what they're referring to is not real life interactions.
