Marc Andreessen: How Risk Taking, Innovation & Artificial Intelligence Transform Human Experience
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 07. 2024
- In this episode, my guest is Marc Andreessen, the legendary software innovator who co-created the internet browser Mosaic, co-founded Netscape, and is now at Andreessen Horowitz - a venture capital firm that finds and brings to life technologies that transform humanity. We discuss what it takes to be a true innovator, including the personality traits required, the role of environment and the support systems needed to bring revolutionary ideas to fruition. We discuss risk-taking as a necessary but potentially hazardous trait, as well as the role of intrinsic motivation and one’s ability to navigate uncertainty. We also discuss artificial intelligence (AI) and Marc’s stance that soon everyone will use AI as their personalized coach and guide for making decisions about their health, relationships, finances and more - all of which he believes will greatly enhance our quality of life. We also delve into nuclear power, gene editing, public trust, universities, politics, and AI regulation. This episode is for those interested in the innovative mind, psychology, human behavior, technology, culture and politics.

Dear Andrew Huberman, could you please do an episode regarding posture, both while sleeping, as well as being awake? Please like this comment if you find this topic interesting!
I think he once mentioned that on your side is better.
😊
😊
😊😊😊
Dear Andrew,
on this day, 2 years ago, I heard you the first time as a guest in the Tim Ferriss podcast. I never slept badly, but sleep was challenging with a small kid waking up a few times at night. I started viewing sunlight in the morning and only used dim red light in the night. The results were immediate and remarkable. That caused me to tune in to your podcast, and many protocols worked well for me. By now, I have listened to > 110 episodes from the first till the last minute (I only skip the ones on supplements and with guests, where the focus is not the scientific research of the guest.) You have certainly increased my quality of life. I recommend your podcast to everyone around me stating that finally an operating manual for the human body is available. 😊Thank you!
Regards, Krishna
Who is an unscientific guest?
Probably like Tony Hawk, Jocko Willink, Rick Rubin, Sam Harris. @@aysedeveci.x
He's been on Lex Fridman couple of times. Good friends, thank them both. Early episodes the best.
"Finally an operating manual for the human body is available". Except from yoga, as I'm sure you know 🙂
What a beautiful name and story
"The difference between a vision and a hallucination is that other people can see the vision" - Marc Andreessen
Time stamp?
I find bing astonishing. I can actually have in-depth conversations with it. A little bit quirky at first, I took it on a tour of extensialist arguments and it seems to understand us and learn. I don't fear AI, I fear how man may use AI.
Yeah, sounds nice but mass hallucinations still exist. eg - UFOs
This is mind blowing, I have been deep into Marc Andreessen lately and and have been wishing for you to interview him. I jumped with absolute excitement this morning when I saw this!
Marc Andreessen is the GOAT.
Andreessen is an absolute king
My brain releases Dopamine when i see Andrew Huberman.

If you start drooling, it's just Pavlov's Dogs effect.
🤚 Me too.
I can't get over the sneaking feeling that Marc Andreessen reminds me of all the fast talking salesmen that have tried to sell me something spurious. Caution is required.
Dear Andrew, biology and political science teacher here. Love you podcast because you base it on the latest research and interview incredible scientist about their topic. I'd therefore highly suggest to interview a political scientist about political topics such as elites vs the public (which is an incredible complex topic) and and so called "cancel culture". Thank you so much for your work!
Right, or explore the neuroscience of why people (students, employees, other non elites) may desire some accountability.
Such good ideas. Unfortunately I don't think this channel is about the true things like those. It's more self growth based so that people buy stuff
One of the best interviews I've listened to with Andreessen
Andrew navigates the treacherous issues thoughtfully with humility. and And his unique human centric starting point for many complicated sociological topics is refreshing.
The face Huberman made at 1:06:56 after being put on the spot to question his employers at Stanford kills me 🤣 It also came at the perfect timing right after transitioning out of a Public vs Elite conversation
I immigrated from Russia to the USA last summer, for obvious reasons. In Russia, I was always surprised at how fearful people were of speaking up. Sometimes the consequences of that given the level of terror are literally deadly. I truly believe many lives and much suffering could have been prevented if people weren't so afraid to voice their thoughts. Now, watching this podcast I'm even more astonished to see some of the most influential and liberated individuals, like Andrew Huberman and Marc Andersen on this podcast, choosing to self-censor. This reveals much about their character and the current state of American society.
Every system is predicated on some level of power hierarchy and we've yet to see a system that is perfectly ethical. So, it's not unusual that some degree of power is captured and exploited by some less-than-perfectly ethical groups/individuals to maintain their power and agenda. The gaps, legal or otherwise, that always exist in even well-intentioned, well-designed system are enough for creative minds and resourceful people to exploit. Our host and guest maybe aren't sure how to address those issues because they don't know the real enemies to be able to talk about those problems intelligently and truthfully or else be labeled conspiracy theorists. If some of such power is legally in the hands of the government but are held (at least for the time being) by people who have a different ideology than yours, some self-censorship might be wise ... Despite all that said, it's still a bit depressing to see them not able to talk about it. :-(
Marc Andreessen would have made an excellent alien overlord in a 1960s scifi movie. Andrew would be the rebel leader to fight against his rule.
I'm going public with an innovative project, starting this week. Marc's comments are bringing some confidence that this will work. Perfect timing, Dr. Huberman!
he's going to send you a cookie

100%. I want to not only stay ahead of the game, but to thrive in the age of artificial intelligence. I am very excited about what the future has to offer. We truly live at a very cool time in history. My attitude is that if we ignore all the BS going on in the world and focus on the good stuff then our lives will improve by leaps and bounds.
People are going through real life crisis, think now isnt a time to focus on Airtificial intelligence. Our main concern should be wealth generation in times like these.
You are accurate, of course! Economic downturns present a wide range of opportunities for common people to build riches from scratch. However, if you want a more forceful return, you might need to seek advice from an investment planner.
Very true, you can be passively involved in the markts and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with “Vivian Carol Gioia” and I have been working together for nearly four years, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her
Marc Andreessen is fantastic
Great episode! I really didn’t know if I would enjoy it to be honest. I don’t really know anything about tech. I was pleasantly surprised. I did have to slow down the playback speed to 0.75 to I could process everything Marc was saying but sadly as a consequence Andrew started sounding like he was intoxicated. It made for an interesting watch. Thanks so much.
Oh, thank you, I am struggling with the fast speaking guest too. I shall try your tip.
What a graceful way to help. Thank you!
Same here, had to go 0.75 for the first time. Marc is too fast for me :)
Excellent interview with several deeply insightful points! The only thing I think was missing was discussion of the elephant in the room around innovation--privilege (usually money, but also other kinds of power). #1 because a major predictor for someone becoming an innovator is how many chances they get--rich kids can take a dozen swings and fail, and keep swinging; poor kids usually can't afford to take any, maybe one or two. #2 because a major predictor of the adoption of an idea or technology is the power & money behind the people promoting it--Andreseen was arguing strongly for "the truth" making a huge difference, but it was just a minute after he himself described nuclear power getting killed because elites were afraid of it, despite the truth of it being better than fossil fuels for climate change, health, and avoiding international wars. (That's a lot of truth.) But other than the privilege blind spot, truly fabulous interview with lots of great stuff to think about!
Very good episode, but I was puzzled as to why being a neuroscientist you did not ask Marc about the effects of AI on our brains. When AI becomes so indispensable to our daily lives, what will that do to our cognitive abilities? It would have been nice if you had also challenged Marc on some of his views instead of just letting him riff. I learned a lot but I found Sam Harris/Marc Andreessen podcast more informative, specially the one on AI.
cos he wants to keep his channel. He isn't goiong to talk about AI being used to mind control and menticide activists. He isn't going to talk about what DARPA are using it for, what is happening to "targeted individuals" etc.
AI can just run an optimal brain training tailored to you.
Marc Andressen is one of the brightest minds in the world currently. Love listening to him.
1:14:48 I love how open minded Andrew is. The moment he says "That is interesting they don't exist" (1:15:13) and looks deeply contemplative... that was a great moment. I love seeing people's minds open more, opinions start to shift, beliefs change, etc.
Great interview gentlemen, this was excellent!! 🙏🏼
I no longer see the sun on my morning ‘light data collections’, instead I see Andrew’s head floating in the sky, nodding in approval.
Wow, looking forward to this! Marc is one sharp mind. Can't wait to get into this conversation
The collaboration we never knew we needed!
Andrew this is such an awesome jump for you. Keep stepping out of your comfort zone and fitting neuroscience into all folds of life.
Andreesen is a Silicon Valley legend.
Andreesen is clearly very smart and interesting. But listeners would be well served to take his words with a grain of salt, for the same reason they should be cautious about scientists who produce findings they’re specifically paid to find, or politicians who advocate increasing their own power. Andreesen is a billionaire entrepreneur who claims that the world would be a better place if people like him were regulated less, taxed less and criticized less. He advocates for a reality in which he specifically would have more power and wealth.
In other words, he has a clear and powerful conflict of interest. This doesn’t mean he’s wrong. We should analyze the merits of his ideas. But the fact that we won’t admit those biases or attempt to correct against them would give us pause in any scientific or academic endeavor. The same standard should apply here.
Thank you! It was disheartening to hear Andrew going along with those comments and not calling him out on it.
Yeah. He is clearly a very smart man, but he glaringly glossed over aspects that did not support his viewpoint while criticizing the hypocrisy of those who don't share his opinions. I found his casual dismissiveness of those who did not agree with him condescending. I would've much rather he bullet pointed his stances and the arguments and counterarguments. Unlike other guests, who had scientific data to support their viewpoints, Andreesen is presenting opinions as facts based on a lot of hypotheticals.
Funny how something Lovecraft wrote in the 30's is still relatable today.."The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown" - H.P. Lovecraft
There's a difference between voting with your dollar against a company that sees itself as a vehicle for an ideology that you disagree with, and witch hunting an individual to destroy them forever, by any means necessary because they've done or said something you disagree with.
One of these easiest guest interviewers to listen to so far. What a great communicator.
Huberman said that Marc was one of the smartest people he’s ever met (on Lex’s podcast).
I get why.
Always humbling to witness brilliant minds in a public forum like this. Thank you. In reference to nuclear power, though, my simple intellect finds some things troubling. First, the uranium deposits seem to be in tenuous locations with political uncertainty. Unlike say, oil, we can't be self sufficient by fracking or some new extraction method. Especially if we built 1000 nuclear plants as once proposed. We could again be held captive to foreign variables. Second, the known reserves from my pedestrian research seems to be quite finite; some saying a 90 year supply. But most concerning is what to do with spent fuel rods. Mark says casually, encapsulate them in concrete. Done. But unexpected events can fracture even unsinkable Titanic engineering. Radioactivity seeping into groundwater would create thousand year dead zones. I would love to see OPEC and Russia defanged and oil relegated to making fertilizer and repeat use plastics. Not sure Nuclear is such a slam dunk, with admitted deference to brilliant intellects like your guest.
Oil will only be used for some plastics regardless of what governments do. Some forms of nuclear power can use nuclear waste as fuel. So, he did a bad job of explaining the benefits of nuclear power.
Another win for nuclear is that all thermal power stations can work as both energy storage and power production particularly if you have multiple stages of waste heat recovery.
However
Waste heat from the industrial process can also be used in this way, and the same applies to other thermal power plants such as solar thermal or geothermal. Thermal is just one of many types of cheap scailabal energy storage. Therefore for Intermitasy is not as unsolvable as most people think it is. So you are right; nuclear is not the slam dunk that most people and governments think it is. Just not for the reasons you think. Opinions are only as good as the reasons they were formed, no matter how intelligent the owner of thoughs opinions are.
@@alwynwatson6119 plastics may start to be made by renewable sources using bacteria, a group at my workplace is studying that atm
Nuclear does have it's draw back and when things go wrong they can go very wrong, but it is still a great source of energy at a relatively cheap price with little to no carbon footprint. Some areas with uranium are in tenuous locations but it is also found in the US, but there are mines throughout the US, fuel rods can be processed differently, it's just cheaper to store them. Overall it is a great addition to the mix, and especially the way they are built in the US and most of Europe it is very safe.
The world needs much more of his positivity, optimism and desire to build.
This guy is on something.
Loses his breath on every single sentence, Laughs maniacally in anticipation of topics, Tries to insinuate connections through his "isn't that interesting?", Goes into countless apartes dipping in and out of the subject...
He might have achieved much but this apparent neuroticism is indicating the end of the production line.
Reminded me very much of Elon Musk. The exact same way to start many sentences, make points, repeat things, half-stutter while organizing thoughts.
I would love to share some ideas for future episodes:
- skin health: sunscreen, deodorants, implications etc
- depersonalization disorder. A widespread phenomenon that really deserves more coverage and attention imo
In France, we have an engineer and lecturer, Jean-Marc Jancovici, who is the emblematic figure defending nuclear power. He's also an energy expert. Perhaps you could interview him soon on the subject of nuclear power, the benefits and risks for the future ?
Anyway, another excellent episode ! Thank you !
Suggestion for possible future podcast: Awareness, knowledge and early signs of suicide as well as prevention.
the speed which marc talks reminds me my ADHD ,great episode
Andreessens incredible intelligence and wisdom just seems unbelievable to me. Great episode!
My favorite podcasts! While Marc is not a brain surgeon, his ideas and strategies… cut through the real world problems like a laser knife.
Marc, have you thought of teaching an online mba course?
Amazing show. Love your stuff. It is changing my and my family's lives. Future episode request (this is not a joke): the connection between western toilets and pelvic issues, including but not limited to: GERD, prostate disease, hemorrhoids, colon cancer, elderly incontinence, constipation, bed wetting... I know there are clinical studies out there, more on the international side than in the US, but I am not aware of an "expert".
I think this would be hugely beneficial to your audience, as something like 50% of women over 40 experience hemorrhoids, 1 in 3 men over 40 experience prostate disease, and incontinence in old age seems like an inevitability in the States, **but it doesn't need to be!**
I have a feeling that if you end up poking at this, you'll get hooked into it and go for the deep dive. :)
Thanks again for the great work!
This was an exceptionally interesting episode with Marc Andreessen. I learned a lot! Please do more with him!
Dear Andrew. Could we have a video about EMDR? By following in chronological order your videos it would seem that you have been skeptical about it in the past, then opened up to the topic based on more research and I would be keen to know your latest view about this field. An update of your video about fear might be a good idea too.
I thought this episode was particularly interesting because I could listen to Huberman having more "relaxed fun" than usually. Not sure if it's simply because he already knew the guest, but it sure is good to see you enjoy a good "not so scientific" conversation.
Your work is changing people's lives. Keep it going!
What does this have to do with science and science based tools to improve our lives?
Absolutely nothing. Its click bait for 2 guys spitting verbal diarreah.
Omg Dr. Huberman and Marc Andreessen together 🎉🎉
Quite a departure from the usual health, well-being, neuroscience type of episodes. Very interesting, and certainly one of your best.
We are interviewing modern day robber barons now. NICE!
1:24:00 pendulum doesn’t always swing back. Marc laughs a lot but it’s ironic laughter. He sees that our country and society are in big trouble. He sees AI as a technological Hail Mary that we basically desperately need to pull through the insane corruption and mismanagement of our society.
My Brain releases Dopamine in anticipation of Monday’s new episode💯❤️💯.
tl;dr Request to interview people like Karpathy or Carmack and draw analogues between the human reward function and that of AIs.
---
Andrew says he reads all the comments people leave so let's see if this makes it.
This felt a lot more like a Tim / Lex type of episode. Though I do love these, there's an additional angle you can provide that you touched on in this episode but more depth would've been awesome.
1. Reward Circuits
Humans have their own neural circuits for motivation (serotonin, dopamine, etc...). When it comes to AI, the equivalent of this is the cost function, and it would be fascinating to listen to a discussion of the similarities and differences between the two.
2. Healthy Habits before/after success
This podcast covers healthy habits a whole lot and it was interesting to hear how Mark isn't as "obsessed" with it as most listeners likely are. It'd be interesting to see whether successful individuals (definition left up to the reader) adopt these habits before or after they've created something of value.
I'm very impressed by these level-headed podcasts with nuggets of gold for us creatives.
Just listening to Andreessen talk as fast as he does raises my dopamine peak
I’m so grateful to have a new and peace oriented perspective in this conversation.
Thank you so much for a very interesting and high-quality conversation, I appreciate that a lot!
Incredible episode. Thanks! I will be thinking about the three phases discussed in AI all week. The adoption in Education is a passion right now.
Can you do podcast on eating? How do food eating competitors eat so much, how come I eat full meal but still feel hungry, or I can eat and feel stuffed and not eat another thing like thanksgiving?
This was a really fanatastic conversation to listen to! Thank you guys for sharing ♥
Wow. Andrew, I can't keep up listening to all your podcast sessions, but please do not stop..
I totally loved this!!! Thank you Andrew and Marc.
Marc stated in this podcast that Three Mile Island, an American nuclear plant, melted down. This is a very, very common misconception spread by the same people whom he was speaking against. Three Mile Island heated up and potentially had a crack in the containment shell. It did not melt down, and was taken through a safe shutdown. There was a nearly negligible elevation in radiation nearby.
I keep hearing it touted as "one of the worst nuclear accidents in history," when in fact its simply one of the ONLY and FEW nuclear accidents in history.
I think it is great to expand to other fields, but, i was disappointed how unscientific this was.
I would have liked some more data around the generalizations about elites and masses.
And i also think the comments about nuclear needed more rigor. Weren't we all terrified russia would bomb the reactor in zaporizhia? Wouldnt countries be reluctant to put dozens of potential nuclear bombs inside their own terrirory which an enemy could detonate? And doesnt the waste provide fuel for bombs, isn't it likely that some countries would convert it to a world-destroying weapon?
The evidence threshold in this talk was much lower than in the medical talks.
Thanks ❤❤❤! Keep doing amazing work. I couldn't agree more that podcasts are the future of both education and entertainment industry.
I'm sure the 40cents went a long way towards the cause!
Why are people made to pay taxes. I would prefer we were all made to listen to this podcast. Thanks for your hard work Andrew, and thanks for your sharing your knowledge Marc.
44:50 Marc Andreesen is one of the coolest genius guys ngl
In my opinion, this episode does not hold up to the standard that is usually set for the discussions held on this podcast.
I usually enjoy the academic depth and carefulness that is applied to every episode of this podcast. This is achieved by having true experts for each field, who know the discussions around the topics in their field and can weigh arguments from both sides, if there is a morale question involved.
While Marc Andreessen surely is a great thinker and can talk about a variety of topics with a certain substance, he simply cannot be an expert on all of these topics at the same time. Some statements are very indicative of that.
For example, when you were talking about why nuclear power is banned in Germany Marc states "because it sounds bad", which is obviously not the reason why it has been banned. Rather it has been the result of decades of experiences like Tschernobyl and Fukushima, as well as the evaluation of risk of potential future nuclear catastrophes and the unknown risk attached to long term storage of nuclear waste that led to that. While maybe coming to a similar conclusion ("banning nuclear power is a bad idea"), an expert on nuclear power or an expert on the economics of the energy markets might have been able to portrait a more nuanced picture.
The same point can be made for the discussion on potential threats by AI. Marc states that "the EU wants to ban AI", which of course is also not true. The EU is trying to formulate a legislation that will regulate AI, based on the use cases of it. Based on the current draft of the EU AI act only a few case will be outright banned, like the use of AI to implement social scoring by governmental bodies.
Going forward I would love to continue seeing more nuanced discussions, held by experts on certain topics. Thanks for all your work!
I agree completely, Marc was just on a crazy rant in this podcast, mainly because Andrew didn’t push back on anything, he just behaved like a gushing fanboy
I totally agree. Andreesen very casually says something akin to "safe and well built" nuclear. He doesn't go into what that takes and how that can be guaranteed. Or why they failed in the past. And regarding AI. You are correct. Interestingly the EU has very strong identity rights. The US does not. There are a few states that are trying to implement laws protecting your visual and audio likeness. Because the US does not have strong identity rights, it has been very easy for AI deep fakes to run amuck. This has been going and has become more prolific when it comes to voice. Individuals are being scammed by fake calls from AI voices of loved ones in need for money. Voice artists have had their voice stolen and AI clones created without their consent being sold by new digital AI voice agencies.
Confirmation of all the evidence available. There was really never a way out of this.
Thank you James
Always has so many good podcast guests. Thanks for sharing!
this seemed like a much more opinion based discussion than usual
Yes, and why does Dr Hubernan chum up so uncritically with Marc Andreessen‘s opinions?
Dr Hubernan, I appreciate your podcast a lot. Could you please make an episode about the consequences for human health of exposure to ionizing radiation (especially alpha and beta particles and gamma waves)?
One of the most refreshing episodes ever.
Wonderful episode. My favourite one yet. I have a question: why did AI, unlike the other technical advancements, transition so quickly from fluff to immensely useful?
Marc mowed this guy down with all his red pilling questions and points. Thank you Marc!
Hey Andrew! Could you please do an episode on serotonin vs dopamine? Also explaining their relation with each other and providing a toolkit on how one can maneuver them optimally as per their demands and situation in life.
Thank you so much for this amazing episode!
I think the guest resource speaker talks incredibly fast. I could catch up and understand him, however, he needs to slow down a bit. This podcast lasts for 2 hours plus. 🙂 Yeah, I know you can control the playback speed in YT.
Two guests I would love to see: Scott Galloway (NYU), or Ryan Smith (Qualtrics founder, Utah Jazz owner) Regarding entrepreneurship and the new economic environment.
I just found your channel. Thank you for broadening my perception
Thank you both for a wonderful conversation. The best way to wake up.
Hey I really like your podcasts, but it would be incredibly one-sided to have on Marc Andreesen to talk about AI without having on someone from AI safety because it presents a very skewed picture. I would recommend Geoff Hinton or Yoshua Bengio if possible. If not, Dan Hendrycks and Chris Olah and Ajeya Cotra would all be good! I think Chris Olah and Ajeya Cotra have thought a decent bit about neuroscience type things. There's also Eliezer Yudkowsky but we've heard him talk so many times now.
He speaks so fast. I need to take a breath for him.
Can you please do a podcast on why people (like me) cannot listen to your speaker because he talks so very fast? :( Sorry, I'm sure there's some good material in this conversation... but it seems like, especially on social media these days, people are speaking faster and faster. I don't think it used to be this way. I have ADHD and I'm not sure if that has something to do with it (though I know many neurodiverse people speak very fast - stimulant meds?) But this affects my ability to understand things on a day-to-day basis...and it feels like a current phenomenon. Thank you!
Have you considered slowing the video down?
Oh gosh, thank you. I forgot I can do that. It does make the "normal speed" speakers sound a bit drunk! But it helps. Truly it's unlistenable otherwise. I appreciate your help! @@alwynwatson6119
Might I suggest you change the pace of the recording such that the rapidity is lessened. I posit your comprehension might well be improved❤
Yes, that's what another commenter said as well. Thanks@@DanceintheRaine666
I'm glad you mentioned this I thought it was just me. (maybe, to those replying on slowing video down, but just for Marc? 😂 have to keep slowing down and speeding up)

That was a really incredible podcast.
I'd really like to see an episode with a discussion of the some of the more established, non-crazypants-speculative bioelectric mechanisms of the body. Not sure who would be a good authority on this... maybe Dr. Michael Levin? Sally Adee?
You're discussion about cancel culture was really interesting.
I think there must be some general academic difficult space between administration and students that makes the idea particularly rough.
Political minds with mediocre intellect will never allow that to happen.
Marc Andreessen has an amazing mind!
Big fan of the show, and fascinated by Marc's description of true innovators - but must pick up on a glaring omission from Marc's analysis of cancel culture. He pointed out (correctly I think) that much political activity on social media is paid for by elite institutions, but failed to mention how this works in both directions. For example, the elite institution that flooded social media in 2016 with pro Trump tweets and Facebook comments was the Russian government.
Likewise in Britain the Brexit campaign was skewed by the social media campaign of a data company called Cambridge Analytica, financed largely by prominent American Republicans and British Conservatives. As Marc also pointed out, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but the idea that "the elites" are entirely made up of Universities and other American government institutions is incorrect.
Marc speaks extremely fast! Its impressive.
Dr. Huberman, you have really gotten me interested in science. Thank you for your work!
I know some of these topics have been covered, and would you consider to cover any of these topics in detail?
High performing athletes and getting into the zone, learning new moves/tricks, and muscle memory.
Lights for home and work: LEDs, flicker, CRI (color fidelity) and fluorescent and tungsten light sources. Possibly the effect migraines with aura.
Carnivore diet. And the inclusion of some carbs in the form of low inflammatory fruits and vegetables. And the role of the body's ability to adapt to various food sensibilities.
Uncanny valley: facial recognition and virtual environments.
Allergies: food, environmental and toxins including insect bites.
List of supplements for migraine prophylactic protocol as recommended by the Canadian Headache Society:
MAGNESIUM CITRATE*¹ 600mg total daily*² 200mg x 3
VITAMIN B2 RIBOFLAVIN 400mg total daily*² 100mg x 4
COENZYMEQ10 300mg x total daily*² 100mg x 3
BUTTERBURR*³ 150mg total daily*² 75mg x 3
*¹If one's pain causes gastric upset (ie Irritible Bowel Syndrome, or if you have Chrohns) be forewarned this form of Magnesium exacerbates bowel upset.
Andrew Huberman, when speaking of the forms of Magnesium he recommended for hydration electrolytes, cautioned against using Magnesium Citrate (this for those unaffected by IBS) as it is known to cause diarrhea. He recommended the two forms: Magnesium Bisglycinate or Magnesium Threonate as these forms are superior in that they do not cause gastric upset.
*² My Neurologist instructed me to buy smaller dosage pills, as the goal of a prophylactic (preventative) protocol is to balance the brain chemistry, and smaller dosage pills can be spaced out equally throughout one's waking hours: spanning from awakening to bedtime She noticed her patients who adhered to this recommendation (as the Science itself found) fared far better than those who simply took the recommended daily dose (of each supplement) in a single or two doses.
*³ Choose BUTTERBURR Root extract only. I have noted less expensive formulations of "Butterburr" are typically extracted from stems and/or leaves, and my Neurologist, again, stated the non root formulations are useless for migraine mitigation.
A prophylactic protocol is not instantly effective, but I and others have noticed both a significant lessening of both the severity of flare-ups and the frequency of one's migraines and/or cluster headaches.
What a great episode. Love this cross section of two great minds.
I think that the powers that be know we are going to have something happen to our internet systems, they are, worldwide, taking all their notes with pen and paper at all the newer summits and world meetings. It's really noticeable and noteworthy.
Outstanding pod Andrew! Thanks for getting Marc Andreessen on! God, I could listen to him forever! So many amazing references , so much wisdom and just perfect questions , conversations! I do not agree on all points with Marc, especially his definition of "Elites", but I have been his fan since the Netscape days and I feel lucky to have listened to this conversation! Thanks a lot!
Great interview, thank you. To Marc's point about OCEAN, I wonder how AI will/could change the requirements. For example, AI can help creative folks who are not as conscientious as traditionally required to be a startup founder/CEO. That is, AI can execute flawlessly and consistently. It's like having Jarvis.
Loved him on Rogan and I'm super excited for this one. Dude COMPLETELY shifted my AI paradigm. Thank you guys 👊👊❤❤
Edit: Only 49 min in and already totally embraced the "Icarus Paradox" and "Infinite Acts". Siiiiiiiick ep dudes thanks again
The subject he's talking about @43:00 makes me think of that Story of the Christian Missionary that which into the Islamic city and learned about Maths and Science, he ended up performing one of the first early recorded Dissection and understanding the insides of a Human.
There is a movie loosely based off it called The Physician. 😊
Thank you for releasing this while I'm at work, I am very excited to listen to this!!
At first I thought how Andrew is going to gel with the VC and tech ecosystem from neuroscience, But damn I loved this episode. Spot on
out of all the podcasts marc andreessen has done recently, this one really stands out as the most interesting. great job!
1:51:33 if I had a machine companion to keep me on track of my goals and my mental health in check (life coach/therapist), the things I would do and achieve would be mind-blowing I imagine. I honestly see myself being better off.
