You Are Not A Frog · The Analytical Brain Trap: Why Smart People Can’t Switch Off · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

In terms of how I was feeling, I would be aware of worrisome thoughts.

But even more than usual, and I'm pretty sure about worrying thought when it comes up these days, but even more than normal, there was almost like a detached kind of, what an utterly pointless thought to have.

You know, every time I was sat there in a chair in a corridor, like waiting for an MRI scan or something on my own, given what was going on, you'd think there would be a lot of worry, but there wasn't much at all.

And then every now and again, it would be like my left brain would sort of drag itself back and go, what about the rest of your life?

And it was so obvious that that was just, you know, just an output of the computer mind doing what it does, just, you know, trying to make sense of things.

So it was even easier than normal to be pretty present to it all.

I was kind of like taking in what was going on around me.

Yeah, it was just sort of took it one moment at a time.

We do.

We've got so used to living in it, living from it, that we've lost sight of the fact that there is something much, much bigger that underpins, surrounds, something all-encompassing, of which that left brain output is a teeny, teeny, tiny little part of that experience.

And yet...

Because it's so insistent.

And of course, it's got all our stuff in it, hasn't it?

It's got all of our experience.

It's got all of our memory.

It knows all the right buttons to press and everything.

But it's just doing its job.

It doesn't even know...

It doesn't know there's anything outside of it, so it thinks it's the boss.

That's the key, is that it thinks it's the boss.
