Hi everyone. I can do the boring bit where I just try and somehow check that I'm live in all the right places, mainly substif, it's the only one I actually care about.

0:10.8

I am probably going to move this just to substype so they don't have to fath with this all the time.

0:17.3

And I've realised that might actually just be a bit of an easier thing to do, but for now, bear with for 30 seconds while I get this up late.

0:29.1

I mean, got the email, which is a good sign, but did not, cannot see deep breaths every time. it? Why is it so hard? Maybe I'm getting notified, but.

0:40.3

Okay, I've found myself, not literally, unfortunately. No, I'm joking. I feel great.

0:45.5

Okay, right. I'm ready for today's science versus bullshit, which I'm very excited about.

0:50.7

I do these science versus bullshit every single week because there is so much

0:56.1

confusing and often manipulating information or misinformation more to the point online that leaves

1:03.2

1:21.7

that you should be doing in order to get results. So first question I had today and did, I have scoped this slightly more

1:30.0

towards what I want to talk about, which is quite a political answer. You know, whenever people

1:35.3

ask politicians something and they're like, great question. Anyway, back to my manifesto that I'm trying

1:39.7

to push on you. Not quite to that extent, but someone did ask for the research and the science behind discipline

1:47.7

and there is some and i do remember i think it was like a hubberman podcast i watched on this it was

1:54.3

quite interesting and goggins talks about this a lot as well i've never actually looked

2:00.1

to verify the claims that

2:03.9

they've made. I would be quite careful with those podcasts in particular. I think some of the

2:09.5

information is absolutely incredible, but sometimes there's like a vague theory that has then been

2:15.3

like articulated as like gospel truth. So I would bear that in mind.
