Why do we with Scott Barry

Bulletproof radio, a state of high performance. But what is the mechanism there inside us that makes us, like, reach for stuff that we know at some level isn't really a good choice? Well, you know, so humans are cybernetic systems. I'll just get really into the nerdy aspect of this. So humans are cybernetic systems, just like a thermodynamic system is a cybernetic system. There's no. There's no difference in terms of our understanding of. Of goals and how goals work. But the interesting thing about humans is that we have evolutionary goals, and we also have goals that we set in our own lives that have no evolutionary history. And so what we have is this hodgepodge of conflicting goals going on within us. If you just think about the domain of romantic relationships, it is miraculous if a marriage works. You have the evolutionary evolved drives of somehow all having to come together in a harmonious way. Lust, caregiving, romantic passion. I don't know if I said yeah. I say caregiving, romantic passion, secure attachment. All these things come apart in different ways and evolve for different reasons across the course of human evolution. Why did you say lust three times? Because that's more of a memory issue. I know. I know you're joking. I think if you're hinting it's a Freudian thing. I think it's just more just. I'm getting old. My memory ain't what it used to be. Psychology jokes. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. No, I mean, I love it. Yeah. So to me, it's miraculous when. When you get a. An integrated, harmonious human. Because like. Like turtles don't have this issue, you know, like, orangutans don't sit there thinking, how can I become a harmonious, integrated orangutan? You know? But for the human that can have that wisdom and foresight and consciousness to create and design a life that allows them to somehow take this hodgepodge and be a whole operating, harmonious unit. I think that's miraculous, quite frankly.
