Andrew Huberman: "You have a pulse of cortisol every 24 hours, a "quote unquote" stress hormone. It's not a bad hormone; it's a great hormone. But you need it released at its highest levels early in the day. How do you do that? Sunlight in your eyes increases that peak by about 50%. If you're not doing that, you start running into trouble. Studies from Stanford School of Medicine show that if that cortisol peak is shifted later in the day, you start experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, failure to sleep, and the whole thing cascades."

@mattjcan It would be reasonable for Social Media (X, IG, FB ect) to require ID in order to create an account. This would make it a lot harder for (Governments for example) to influence public opinion online using anonymous accounts.
Parents look after their kids. Gov stays out of it.
Never forget what this callous woman did. She stopped a pregnant mother from getting to the nearest hospital for urgent medical attention, locked out thousands of Queenslanders, locked up thousands of others and fed fear mongering garbage down our throats every day. She has run down essential services - crime is up, waiting lists are up, power prices are up and our education standards are down.
Katharine Hepburnโs childhood, in her own words.
โOnce when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.
Finally, there was only one other family between us and the ticket counter. This family made a big impression on me.
There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. The way they were dressed, you could tell they didn't have a lot of money, but their clothes were neat and clean.
The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly jabbering about the clowns, animals, and all the acts they would be seeing that night. By their excitement you could sense they had never been to the circus before. It would be a highlight of their lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say, "You're my knight in shining armour." He was smiling and enjoying seeing his family happy.
The ticket lady asked the man how many tickets he wanted? He proudly responded, "I'd like to buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets, so I can take my family to the circus." The ticket lady stated the price.
The man's wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, the man's lip began to quiver. Then he leaned a little closer and asked, "How much did you say?" The ticket lady again stated the price.
The man didn't have enough money. How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus?
Seeing what was going on, my dad reached into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill, and then dropped it on the ground. (We were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) My father bent down, picked up the $20 bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, "Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket."
The man understood what was going on. He wasn't begging for a handout but certainly appreciated the help in a desperate, heartbreaking and embarrassing situation.
He looked straight into my dad's eyes, took my dad's hand in both of his, squeezed tightly onto the $20 bill, and with his lip quivering and a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied; "Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family."
My father and I went back to our car and drove home. The $20 that my dad gave away is what we were going to buy our own tickets with.
Although we didn't get to see the circus that night, we both felt a joy inside us that was far greater than seeing the circus could ever provide.
That day I learnt the value to Give.
The Giver is bigger than the Receiver. If you want to be large, larger than life, learn to Give. Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.
The importance of giving, blessing others can never be over emphasised because there's always joy in giving. Learn to make someone happy by acts of giving.โ
Happy Wednesday folks ๐ซ
While I do feel Sam Harris has a tendency to be very closed minded when it comes to some subjects, this podcast is a perfect example of how two people with differing views can discuss them openly and respectfully. Great work Lex.
Here's my 4+ hour intense conversation with Sam Harris. I express my hope in the intro that friendships and conversations, including respectful disagreements, continue between Sam and Elon, Joe, Bret, Eric, Jordan, and others. Love is the answer. https://t.co/DrTP2lpPpO
Well worth a watch. Seriously interesting, thought provoking documentary. Well done Graham and Netflix for putting out this important work. Hopefully the turning point towards a society with more open minds.
