2 小时 17 分钟Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, where we discuss science and science based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
My guest today is Ari Wallach.
Ari Wallach is an adjunct associate professor at Columbia University School of International and Public affairs.
He is also the host of a new tv series, a brief History of the Future.
Todays discussion focuses on perhaps one of the most important questions that any and all of us have to ask ourselves at some point, which is, how is it that we are preparing this planet for the future, not just for our children, if we happen to have children or want children, but for all people?
The human brain, as we know, is capable of orienting its thoughts and its memories to the past, to the present, or to the future.
But few people actually take the time to think about the future that they are creating on this planet and in culture, within our families, etcetera, for the next generation and generations that follow them.
Ari Wallach is an expert in this topic, and he has centered his work around what he calls Longpath Labs, which is a focus on long term thinking and coordinated behavior at the individual, organizational, and societal level in order to better, best ensure the thriving of our species.
And while that may sound a bit aspirational, it is both aspirational and grounded in specific actions and logic.
So during today's episode, Ari Wallach spells out for us not just the aspirations, not just what we want, but how to actually create that positive future and legacy for ourselves, for our families, and for society at large.
It's an extremely interesting take on how to live now in a way that is positively building toward the future.
So by the end of today's episode, you will have a unique perspective on how your brain works, how you frame time perception, and indeed, how you frame your entire life.
Before you begin, I'd like to emphasize that this podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.
It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost to consumer information about science and science related tools to the general public.
In keeping with that theme, I'd like to thank the sponsors of today's podcast.
Our first sponsor is David.
David makes a protein bar unlike any other.
It has 28 grams of protein, only 150 calories, and 0 gram of sugar.
That's right, 28 grams of protein.
