I did the firewalk with him like 30 years ago. I've made it through it. It was cool stuff. But he's not teaching people on the inside out how to deliberately internalize the experiences they're having at the time so that they really land in some kind of system.

And that, of course, would be how to do more research on it, where you take two standard interventions and you add these approaches of deliberate internalization to one, and hopefully you see greater impact and so on. But the broad point I would make about the fields is that I don't think there's much more upside to be had in getting better at fostering shiny experiences for people.

Where the real upside is investigating how does learning actually happen in the broadest sense and how can we help it happen well.

There's tremendous activation in the default mode network. So briefly, and you're familiar with this, there are different networks in the brain. There are probably three major networks that are relevant kind of sort of right here. One is when we're... You know, the salience network is tracking what matters, very amygdala-based.

And then when we identify what matters, like in survival situations back in the jungle, we see the snake, you know, we've detected the snake. Then the second network, task network, gets engaged. Better do something about the snake. Jump back or prevent snakes or in the future go a different trail. Fine. And then when things settle down,

The brain defaults to a third network, which is where we go when we're kind of just spacing out or daydreaming or ruminating. And that network is kind of in the midline toward the rear.

So when people are ruminating, there's activity there. I think of it as the simulator, the ruminator, you know, very involved with what's called mental time travel, imagining the future, reflecting on the past. So when people are stuck, there's a lot of activity there. And a lot of that activity, we haven't talked about this yet, it's super cool, is self-referential.
