I’ve been eating Maui Nui Venison for the past two years, and there’s no going back. My pantry and freezers are full of it, and I restock every month. Why? (1) If I combine Maui Nui Venison with even a little exercise, I drop body fat unbelievably quickly. (2) It tastes delicious and isn’t gamey. (3) Ethically, I feel great about Maui Nui protein, as axis deer are an invasive species on Maui, where their population needs to be managed in order to protect vulnerable ecosystems. Harvested using stress-free methods, Maui Nui’s fresh venison is clean-tasting, tender, and one of the most nutrient-dense meats on the planet. Maui Nui is a nearly daily go-to for me, both as a supplement to my daily diet (with broth, jerky snacks, etc.) and through main courses (via their fresh-meat subscription program). I fell in love with this company so much that I ended up investing, which is a rarity. Remarkably, Maui Nui has nearly stabilized Maui’s Axis deer population, which means the door to one of the most exclusive proteins on the market will soon be closed. The list of people waiting for invitations to become a Fresh Subscriber is long, which is why I am excited to offer my listeners an exclusive opportunity to bypass the waitlist and get instant access to one of the few remaining subscriptions.

Microplastics Are Everywhere. How Dangerous Are They?

Plain English with Derek Thompson

Plastic is a life-saving technology. Plastic medical equipment like disposable syringes and IV bags reduce deaths in hospitals. Plastic packaging keeps food fresh longer. Plastic parts in cars make cars lighter, which could make them less deadly in accidents. My bike helmet is plastic. My smoke detector is plastic. Safety gates for babies: plastic.But in the last few months, several studies have demonstrated the astonishing ubiquity of microplastics and the potential danger they pose to our bodies—especially our endocrine and cardiovascular systems. Today’s guest is Philip Landrigan, an epidemiologist and pediatrician, and a professor in the biology department of Boston College. We start with the basics: What is plastic? How does plastic become microplastic or nanoplastic? How do these things get into our bodies? Once they’re in our bodies what do they do? How sure are we that they’re a contributor to disease? What do the latest studies tell us—and what should we ask of future research? Along the way we discuss why plastic recycling doesn’t actually work, the small steps we can take to limit our exposure, and the big steps that governments can take to limit our risk.If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.Host: Derek ThompsonGuest: Philip LandriganProducer: Devon BaroldiLinks:"Plastics, Fossil Carbon, and the Heart" by Philip J.

The Many Lives of Glenn Loury

The Unspeakable Podcast

This week’s guest is economist and public intellectual Glenn Loury. Glenn is almost certainly no stranger to Unspeakable listeners, many of whom know him from his long-running podcast The Glenn Show. In addition to opining there about political and social issues, Glenn is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and the Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences and Professor of Economics at Brown University, where he has taught since 2005. He grew up on the south side of Chicago and eventually became the first black professor of economics at Harvard and a prominent conservative thinker and policy expert. The Glenn Show debuted in 2012, and Glenn’s conversations about race with linguist and cultural critic John McWhorter were foundational to the emergence of the independent media sphere sometimes called the “heterodoxy” (at least they were Meghan’s gateway drug). Glenn has published numerous books, but his latest, a memoir, is a major departure. Late Admissions: Confessions of A Black Conservative is not just an account of his professional trajectory but also an unflinching interrogation of his personal choices. This interview is stunningly candid and also utterly delightful. Meghan is grateful to Glenn for his honesty, deep insight, and great humor. GUEST BIO Glenn Loury is a professor of social sciences and economics at Brown University. His new book Late Admissions: Confessions of A Black Conservative is out May 14.

The Effects of Cannabis (Marijuana) on the Brain & Body

Huberman Lab

In this episode, I discuss cannabis (aka marijuana), including the biological mechanisms underlying its effects on the mind and body, its known medical applications, its impact on libido, creativity, hunger, hormones and more. I also cover the known adverse health consequences of chronic and even acute (one-time) use and the factors that determine if cannabis is helpful or harmful. Additionally, I detail how the various strains of cannabis: sativa, indica and hybrid strains, can produce such divergent effects depending on the strain type, THC-to-CBD ratio, total dosage, and frequency of use. I review why cannabis can impact speech patterns and one’s propensity to develop anxiety/depression during and after use and, in some individuals, paranoia. As the legal landscape for cannabis is rapidly evolving, this episode should interest a wide audience, including former/current cannabis users, those in the medical, sports, law enforcement, and educational communities and, of course, children, teenagers, and parents.For the full show notes, visit <a href="https://hubermanlab.com/the-effects-of-cannabis-marijuana-on-the-brain-and-body/" rel="nofollow">hubermanlab.com</a>.<h2>Thank you to our sponsors</h2>AG1 (Athletic Greens): <a href="https://athleticgreens.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://athleticgreens.com/huberman</a>LMNT: <a href="https://drinklmnt.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://drinklmnt.com/huberman</a><h2>Supplements from Momentous</h2><a href="https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman</a><h2>Huberman Lab Premium</h2><a href="https://hubermanlab.com/premium" rel="nofollow">https://hubermanlab.com/premium</a><h2>Timestamps</h2>(00:00:00) Cannabis (Marijuana)(00:005:02) Sponsor: LMNT(00:07:03) Tool: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR), Sleep & Anxiety(00:15:08) Cannabis Strains, Psychoactive Compounds: THC & CBD(00:19:34) Sativa vs. Indica, Stimulant vs. Relaxation Effects(00:25:55) Hybrid Cannabis Strains, Type 1, 2 & 3 Strains(00:31:56) Naturally Occurring Receptors: Nicotinic & Cannabinoid Receptors (CB1)(00:35:18) Sponsor: AG1(00:40:35) THC, CBD vs. Endogenous Cannabinoids, Dependence(00:43:14) Endogenous Cannabinoids, Cannabinoid Receptors & Nervous System Function(00:53:07) Biological Effects of Cannabis(00:56:29) Cannabis Sativa & Subjective Effects: Mood, Stress, Alertness, Paranoia(01:04:58) Cannabis Indica & Subjective Effects, Memory, Dosage(01:09:41) Brain Areas Affected by THC & CBD, Side Effects(01:16:08) Creativity: Convergent vs. Divergent Thinking & Dopamine(01:26:41) Does Cannabis Increase Creativity?(01:35:08) Chronic Cannabis Use & Changes in Speech Patterns(01:46:46) Cannabis & Libido, Dopamine & Prolactin(01:56:55) Cannabis & Hormones: Prolactin, Testosterone, Estrogen & Fertility(02:06:53) Smoking/Vaping Tobacco or Cannabis & Negative Health Consequences(02:10:06) Avoiding Cannabis During Pregnancy/Breastfeeding, Fetal Neural Development(02:18:13) Negative Health Consequences of Cannabis, Anxiety & Depression, Tolerance(02:25:57) Cannabis Use & Adolescence/Young Adulthood, Predisposition to Psychosis(02:34:36) Adolescent Cannabis Use: Brain Development & Mental Health Disorders(02:41:44) Cannabis & Pain Management, Divergent Effects of Cannabis(02:44:54) Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Huberman Lab Premium, Momentous Supplements, Neural Network Newsletter, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn Title Card Photo Credit: <a href="https://www.blabacphoto.com/" rel="nofollow">Mike Blabac</a><a href="https://hubermanlab.com/disclaimer/" rel="nofollow">Disclaimer</a>

#581: Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Stewart Copeland — Fear{less} with Tim Ferriss

The Tim Ferriss Show

Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life. You’ll get plenty of that in this special episode, which features my interview with Stewart Copeland from my 2017 TV Show Fear{less}. The “less” is in parentheses because the objective is to teach you to fear less, not to be fearless. Fear{less} features in-depth, long-form conversations with top performers, focusing on how they’ve overcome fears and made hard decisions, embracing discomfort and thinking big. It was produced by Wild West Productions, and I worked with them to make both the video and audio available to you for free, my dear listeners. You can find the video of this episode on YouTube.com/TimFerriss, and eventually you’ll be able to see all episodes for free at YouTube.com/TimFerriss. Spearheaded by actor/producer and past podcast guest Vince Vaughn, Wild West Productions has produced a string of hit movies including The Internship, Couples Retreat, Four Christmases, and The Break-Up. In 2020, Wild West produced the comedy The Opening Act, starring Jimmy O. Yang and Cedric The Entertainer. In addition to Fear{less}, their television credits include Undeniable with Joe Buck, ESPN’s 30 for 30 episode about the ’85 Bears, and the Netflix animated show F is for Family. Please enjoy! * This episode is brought to you by “5-Bullet Friday,” my very own email newsletter that every Friday features five bullet points highlighting cool things I’ve found that week, including apps, books, documentaries, gadgets, albums, articles, TV shows, new hacks or tricks, and—of course—all sorts of weird stuff I’ve dug up from around the world. It’s free, it’s always going to be free, and you can subscribe now at tim.blog/friday. * On Letterman and lions: Stewart details the only two drum solos he’s done in his life (and, for the sake of participation, I share mine). [05:28] The great thing about taking risks with music? It’s not paragliding. How does Stewart introduce a new musician to having fun with music without worrying about the consequences of making mistakes? [10:30] With a father who was both a jazz musician and a CIA agent, what was Stewart’s childhood like? [14:09] What initially drew Stewart to music, and how did his first gig go? How did these early forays into music abroad affect his evolution as a musician? [16:25] How Stewart became the drummer for a band he was managing and married the singer in what looks, on paper, like a series of Machiavellian, Game of Thrones-style power moves. [20:55] How did The Police come together as a band? [23:04] During the early days of The Police, what did Stewart and his bandmates imagine success might look like? What milestones inched them closer to realizing this success? [27:08] How does Stewart prepare for a gig? [29:52] Why being in The Police was often like wearing “a Prada suit made out of barbed wire.” [32:27] Circumstances that might trigger the righteous anger by which Stewart finds himself invigorated. [36:41] Examples of good things that have happened to Stewart simply by saying “Yes.” [39:37] How did Stewart wind up scoring Rumble Fish for Francis Ford Coppola? [41:13] How does Stewart define success? [43:27] Stewart’s advice for anyone from a rock and roll musical background who wants to pursue film scoring. [44:33] Stewart’s advice for a budding musician trying to get their foot in the door of today’s entertainment industry, and how the process differs from when Stewart was just getting started. [46:22] What music does Stewart find particularly interesting from today’s roster of artists? [48:42] On favorite failures as a concept. [51:47] What Stewart’s billboard would say, and parting thoughts for the audience. [52:42] * For show notes and past guests, please visit tim.blog/

Dr. Matthew Johnson: Psychedelics for Treating Mental Disorders

Huberman Lab

This episode I discuss medical research on psychedelic compounds with Dr. Matthew Johnson, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. We discuss the biology and medical clinical-trial uses of psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, DMT, and LSD. Dr. Johnson teaches us what the clinical trials in his lab are revealing about the potential these compounds hold for the treatment of depression, addiction, trauma, eating disorders, ADHD, and other disorders of the mind. Dr. Johnson describes a typical psychedelic experiment in his laboratory, start to finish, including the conditions for optimal clinical outcomes. And he explains some of the potential hazards and common misconceptions and pitfalls related to psychedelic medicine. Dr. Johnson explains flashbacks, the heightened risks of certain people and age groups using psychedelics and the ever evolving legal and pharmaceutical industry landscape surrounding psychedelics. Dr. Johnson also explains how the scientific study of psychedelics is likely to set the trajectory of psychiatric medicine in the years to come. Dr. Johnson is among a small handful of researchers who have pioneered the clinical study of these powerful compounds. He has unprecedented insight into how they can be woven into other psychiatric treatments, changing ones sense of self and of reality.For the full show notes, visit <a href="https://hubermanlab.com/dr-matthew-johnson-psychedelic-medicine/" rel="nofollow">hubermanlab.com</a>.<h2>Thank you to our sponsors</h2>AG1 (Athletic Greens): <a href="https://athleticgreens.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://athleticgreens.com/huberman</a>LMNT: <a href="https://drinklmnt.com/huberman" rel="nofollow">https://drinklmnt.com/huberman</a><h2>Supplements from Momentous</h2><a href="https://www.livemomentous.com/pages/huberman?irclickid=y34ypYQ0vxyIWDCTfRQmEXIuUkD1Ob10U0Gk180&irgwc=1&nb_platform=impact&nb_adid=1318412&nb_cid=15826&nb_pid=3406974&nb_aname=Podcast+Link&nb_atype=TEXT_LINK&nb_asize=&nb_product_sku=&nb_partner_name=Huberman+Lab&nb_mtype=mediapartner&nb_partner_shared_id=&utm_source=Huberman+Lab&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_content=3406974&utm_campaign=15826&_ga=undefined" rel="nofollow">https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman</a><h2>Timestamps</h2>(00:00:00) Introducing Dr. Matthew Johnson(00:02:27) Sponsors: AG1, LMNT(00:06:40) ‘Psychedelics’ Defined(00:14:09) Hallucinations, Synesthesia, Altered Space-Time Perception(00:19:56) Serotonin & Dopamine (00:23:50) Ketamine & Glutamate (00:28:00) An Example Psychedelic Experiment(00:37:30) ‘Letting Go’ with Psychedelics(00:44:10) Our Mind’s Eye(00:48:00) Redefining Your Sense of Self (00:58:56) Exporting Psychedelic Learnings to Daily Life(01:04:36) Flashbacks(01:12:10) Ayahuasca, & ASMR, Kundalini Breathing(01:15:54) MDMA, DMT(01:26:00) Dangers of Psychedelics, Bad Trips, Long-Lasting Psychosis(01:38:15) Micro-Dosing(01:56:45) Risks for Kids, Adolescents & Teenagers; Future Clinical Trials(02:03:40) Legal Status: Decriminalization vs. Legalization vs. Regulation(02:18:35) Psychedelics for Treating Concussion & Traumatic Brain Injury (02:27:45) Shifting Trends in Psychedelic Research, Academic Culture(02:44:23) Participating in a Clinical Trial, Online Survey Studies, Breathwork (02:50:38) Conclusions, Subscribing & Supporting the HLP, SupplementsTitle Card Photo Credit: <a href="https://www.blabacphoto.com/" rel="nofollow">Mike Blabac</a><a href="https://hubermanlab.com/disclaimer/" rel="nofollow">Disclaimer</a>

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: The Subversion of the West

Honestly with Bari Weiss

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is the author of several books—including the 2006 autobiography Infidel—as well as a fellow at the Hoover Institution She runs a foundation focused on human rights and, yes, she has a Substack. But Ayaan comes from a very different world from most of the people who inhabit our think tanks and ivory towers. Unlike those of us in the West who grew up with everything, Ayaan grew up in Somalia with. . . nothing. No liberty, no rule of law, no system of representative government, no pluralism, and no toleration for difference. Ayaan knows what it is like to live without those ideals, which is why she also has a particular instinct for when they are under attack. And that is exactly what she sees happening—all over the West. Today, you’ll hear Ayaan read the epochal essay she published this morning in The Free Press. She explains how subversion—the act of undermining a country from within—works gradually and sometimes invisibly, but can ultimately explode and destroy a society. And she argues that what’s at stake in our inability to see the threat plainly is nothing less than the preservation of our way of life.

#636: The Big Reveal: The Legend of CØCKPUNCH — Kevin Rose and Tim Ferriss on Tim’s New and Extremely Bizarre Art Project

The Tim Ferriss Show

Brought to you by Maui Nui Venison wildly delicious venison, Athletic Greens all-in-one nutritional supplement, and Allform premium, modular furniture. Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is usually my job to interview world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life. This episode is something different. It’s an exploration of my creative process, how I think about first principles, and how to get serious things done without being serious all the time. In this case, I am the guest and Kevin Rose (@KevinRose) is the host. Who is Kevin? Kevin is a technologist, serial entrepreneur, world-class investor, self-experimenter, and all-around wild and crazy guy. For more on The Legend of CØCKPUNCH™, visit cockpunch.com and follow on Twitter (@cockpunch). Mint date is coming up soon, so make sure to follow that Twitter account for news, as well as @tferriss and @TimTimNifties. I will also be announcing next steps via my newsletter, and you can sign up at tim.blog/friday. Please note: 100% of NFT primary sale proceeds are being donated to the Saisei Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit private foundation that funds cutting-edge scientific research and other initiatives related to psychedelic medicine, mental health therapeutics, and much more. The episode you’re about to hear was originally published on the PROOF podcast, a podcast hosted by Kevin, which provides in-depth NFT coverage. The PROOF podcast is part of PROOF (@proof_xyz). PROOF is creating community-centric products that celebrate art, connect collectors, and activate creative entrepreneurship. Under the PROOF umbrella, they have the PROOF Collective, a private collective of 1,000 dedicated NFT collectors and artists. There is also Grails—which I am a part of—PROOF-curated collections with artists revealed post-mint. Moonbirds, of course. A collection of 10,000 utility-enabled PFPs featuring a diverse pool of traits. There’s more and more. Kevin is doing a phenomenal job, and I suggest you check out what they’re doing. And now, let’s take a trip to crazy town, shall we? I hope you enjoy this as much as I did… * This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so.

I’ve been eating Maui Nui Venison for the past two years, and there’s no going back. My pantry and freezers are full of it, and I restock every month. Why? (1) If I combine Maui Nui Venison with even a little exercise, I drop body fat unbelievably quickly. (2) It tastes delicious and isn’t gamey. (3) Ethically, I feel great about Maui Nui protein, as axis deer are an invasive species on Maui, where their population needs to be managed in order to protect vulnerable ecosystems. Harvested using stress-free methods, Maui Nui’s fresh venison is clean-tasting, tender, and one of the most nutrient-dense meats on the planet. Maui Nui is a nearly daily go-to for me, both as a supplement

The News Media’s Dangerous Addiction to ‘Fake Facts’

Plain English with Derek Thompson

What do most people not understand about the news media? I would say two things. First: The most important bias in news media is not left or right. It’s a bias toward negativity and catastrophe. Second: That while it would be convenient to blame the news media exclusively for this bad-news bias, the truth is that the audience is just about equally to blame. The news has never had better tools for understanding exactly what gets people to click on stories. That means what people see in the news is more responsive than ever to aggregate audience behavior. If you hate the news, what you are hating is in part a collective reflection in the mirror. If you put these two facts together, you get something like this: The most important bias in the news media is the bias that news makers and news audiences share toward negativity and catastrophe. Jerusalem Demsas, a staff writer at The Atlantic and the host of the podcast Good on Paper, joins to discuss a prominent fake fact in the news — and the psychological and media forces that promote fake facts and catastrophic negativity in the press.If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.Host: Derek ThompsonGuest: Jerusalem DemsasProducer: Devon BaroldiLinks:"The Maternal-Mortality Crisis That Didn’t Happen" by Jerusalem Demsas <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/05/no-more-women-arent-dying-in-childbirth/678486/" rel="nofollow">https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/05/no-more-women-arent-dying-in-childbirth/678486/</a>The 2001 paper "Bad Is Stronger Than Good" <a href="https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71516.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://assets.csom.umn.edu/assets/71516.pdf</a>Derek on the complex science of masks and mask mandates <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2023/03/covid-lab-leak-mask-mandates-science-media-information/673263/" rel="nofollow">https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2023/03/covid-lab-leak-mask-mandates-science-media-information/673263/</a> Learn more about your ad choices.

What America’s Bold New Economic Experiment Is Missing

Plain English with Derek Thompson

The news media is very good at focusing on points of disagreement in our politics. Wherever Democrats and Republicans are butting heads, that's where we reliably find news coverage. When right and left disagree about trans rights, or the immigration border bill, or abortion, or January 6, or the indictments over January 6, you can bet that news coverage will be ample. But journalists like me sometimes have a harder time seeing through the lurid partisanship to focus on where both sides agree. It's these places, these subtle areas of agreements, these points of quiet fusion, where policy is actually made, where things actually happen.I’m offering you that wind up because I think something extraordinary is happening in American economics today. Something deeper than the headlines about lingering inflation. High grocery prices. Prohibitive interest rates. Stalled out housing markets.Quietly, and sometimes not so quietly, a new consensus is building in Washington concerning technology, and trade, and growth. It has three main parts: first, there is a newly aggressive approach to subsidizing the construction of new infrastructure, clean energy, and advanced computer chips that are integral to AI and military; second, there are new tariffs, or new taxes on certain imports, especially from China to protect US companies in these industries; and third, there are restrictions on Chinese technologies in the U.S., like Huawei and TikTok. Subsidies, tariffs, and restrictions are the new rage in Washington.Today’s guest is David Leonhardt, a longtime writer, columnist, and editor at The New York Times who currently runs their morning newsletter, The Morning. he is the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ours-Was-Shining-Future-American-ebook/dp/B0BT15DT45" rel="nofollow">Ours Was the Shining Future</a>.We talk about the history of the old economic consensus, the death of Reaganism, the demise of the free trade standard, the strengths and weaknesses of the new economic consensus, what could go right in this new paradigm, and what could go horribly wrong.If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at <a href="mailto:PlainEnglish@Spotify.com" rel="nofollow">PlainEnglish@Spotify.com</a>.Host: Derek ThompsonGuest: David LeonhardtProducer: Devon BaroldiLinks:David Leonhardt on neopopulism: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/briefing/centrism-washington-neopopulism.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/19/briefing/centrism-washington-neopopulism.html</a>Greg Ip on the three-legged stool of new industrial policy: <a href="https://www.wsj.com/economy/the-u-s-finally-has-a-strategy-to-compete-with-china-will-it-work-ce4ea6cf" rel="nofollow">https://www.wsj.com/economy/the-u-s-finally-has-a-strategy-to-compete-with-china-will-it-work-ce4ea6cf</a> Learn more about your ad choices.
