| 0:00.0 | From the year 2000 to today, the average male's testosterone levels have dropped by more than 25%. |
| 0:08.1 | And modern life is only making the problem worse. |
| 0:11.3 | Algorithms are now so effective at hijacking the male brain's dopamine system that millions of men are stuck in loops of porn, only fans, and endless scrolling, feeling like they're making progress, but in reality, they're stuck. |
| 0:25.4 | According to my guest today, Stanford neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, modern life is uniquely disrupting the male brain. |
| 0:31.7 | In this interview, he details the trap that men are falling into as well as exactly what they need to do to climb out and optimize for |
| 0:39.3 | a success. If you're a man or you love one, you're not going to want to miss this episode. So without |
| 0:43.6 | further ado, I bring you, Andrew Huberman. Modern life seems to be hijacking men's brains. So whether |
| 0:51.1 | it's porn, only fans, social media, you've got men that are depressed, demotivated, |
| 0:57.4 | unable to form relationships. What do you think is the actual breakdown? |

| 1:26.8 | is there a payoff? And they'd probably say, |
| 1:30.3 | no, I realize there's not, but I can't stop. That's why. And, you know, we've talked before about |
| 1:35.2 | dopamine. And I think nowadays, most people appreciate that dopamine is about motivation and pursuit, |
| 1:39.8 | at least as much as it's about pleasure. Or least the things that were motivated to do at first |
| 1:45.3 | bring us pleasure the drug the gambling the pornography etc but that very quickly over time it |
| 1:51.3 | keeps us in the groove of pursuit and that groove is getting tighter and tighter but the pleasure |
| 1:56.8 | value starts dropping dropping dropping dropping dropping dropping now do you think that male acquisition of goals, like the obsession with that is disproportionately |
| 2:06.4 | affected by the modern dopamine hijacking things like social media? Or is this universal to men and |
