Love it or hate it. So when you make a mistake, your brain flips into a mode that essentially it's open now to changing itself.

So when you learn something, your brain physically changes.

Actually, when you do anything, your brain physically changes.

That's how it essentially works.

But so let's say you make a mistake.

And I give you feedback and I say, you thought you were doing X,

but in reality you did Y why how can we fix this in that

moment everything conspires to update to say okay cool here's something accurate

let's put it in. Yeah.

Unfortunately, in that moment you enter into a choice where you can stay in that mode and learn,

so we call that error engagement, or you can shut that mode down and you go back in about 72 hours later

you'll forget you ever committed an error so the whole system tries to revert

back to normal and erase that from happening.

Hey everybody before we start the show I want to make a couple disclaimers.

This show does cover a wide variety of topics related to mental health and life in general and

some of those could be sensitive for you.

I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave and

consuming difficult content but also respect and recognize your

limitations. So please use your best judgment. I will never be offended if you

need to skip a question or an episode entirely but

feel free to feel it out check out the episode and just see what happens if you need to

skip that's okay but you know feel free to give it a shot first I also
