| 0:00.0 | Hey deserve our listeners, this is chapter 7 in our deep dive on the psychology of Elon Musk. |
| 0:06.5 | Let's get into it, Burto, what do you say? |
| 0:08.2 | Let's do it. |
| 0:08.8 | This is the Psychology and Seattle Podcast. |
| 0:10.5 | I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda, I'm a therapist and a professor who are you |
| 0:13.8 | Burrow my name is Roberto Castagnan and I document narwhals in the wild so I was telling you off |
| 0:18.6 | air that I'm really gratified with the opportunity to do this deep dive for a number of reasons. |
| 0:25.0 | You know, I've known about E. L. Musk and I've passively read some of the news and heard people talking about him. |
| 0:30.6 | But I never really had a understanding of what was going on. I would hear what people were saying and |
| 0:37.4 | and it's satisfying to have the time to go through because the way that I do this is kind of like journalism in a sense where I'm |
| 0:46.6 | gathering information you know I'm gathering secondhand information but |
| 0:50.6 | there's a lot of different people saying different things about the same thing and so I have to kind of piece together what I believe to be the objective truth, you know, and there's also a level of depth that I'll go through. |

Like, why did that happen? Why do people do that? Why do I do what I do? |
| 1:43.0 | Yeah. How do people come together? |
| 1:45.0 | Behavioral puzzles. |
| 1:46.0 | Yeah, what's going on? |
| 1:47.0 | You know, what makes people tick? |
| 1:49.0 | So to go through this, it's been gratifying in that way because there's so much data |
| 1:54.4 | out there and after going over all this and also walking through it with you and |
| 1:59.7 | getting your input I feel like I'm putting together the puzzle, you know, and it I don't know it just feels and also I think what this story because it's not just Elon Musk I think the story of Elon Musk involves a lot of other stories. It involves the |
