The Checkup with Doctor Mike · An Honest Conversation About Looksmaxxing | Jonathan Haidt · 24 Jun 2026 podcast

We have a local community.

I live here in New York City and Greenwich Village is kind of, you get to know the shopkeepers.

So we recreate things.

Okay, so why is the body so important?

Let's start looking at human beings from a different perspective.

We think of ourselves as minds, as brains, where this great intellect that is sort of on top of this body.

Oh, I better take care of my body because that's just like the tool that gets me around.

But really, you know, I'm in here, I'm in my head.

Well, actually, you know, brains are 500 million years old.

They've been evolving for a long time to run bodies.

And a lot of your brain is involved in representing the nerves coming in from your body.

We think using representations of our bodies, we use metaphors from our bodies.

And so to suddenly put people in a world where you're mostly just sitting and looking at a screen, and that's your social life,

For adults like you and me, I mean, maybe it will be okay.

But for kids whose brains are developing and expecting millions of face-to-face social interaction, if you remove 70% of those, the outcome's not going to be good.

So again, what you're saying makes a lot of intuitive sense.

And 20 years ago, I think a lot of people believed that.

And I still hear people saying, oh, but, you know, I mean, they're going to live in this digital world.

They're going to, their workplace, they've got to.

So let's start them early.
