We've got legacy hardware and software that were built with Doc.

You know this.

And the amygdala, and it's giving us signals that are just not rational signals.

It's wiring that was based on, you know, a thousand years ago.

There were different kinds of fears.

And they were legitimate, like if a lion showed up to attack us or we're going to fall off a cliff or freeze to death.

But now most of our fears are really, really just the avoidance of discomfort.

That's all it is.

So if you quickly do a head check and say, oh,

I know what's going on there. My brain is just looking to get me to stop running right now or

stop climbing or get away from the cold shower because it doesn't want to be comfortable. That's

not a legitimate fear. Collective Insights is a voyage through topics and technologies

revolutionizing human well-being.

We explore the fields of neuroscience,

integrative medicine, anthropology, optimal psychology,

systems thinking, and existential risk.

Groundbreaking approaches for a better world and a better life await you.
