Books

after listening to dr paul conti x huberman pods i decided to get his book.

one of the things that struck me most was in ch4 when his uncle rango talks about ww2 when he had ‘do something terrible, to do the right thing’ 

i’ve been thinking a lot about this lately

gen z have never lived through a war. most urban kids have never met someone who has been to war.

another book ‘you are what you watch’ talks about the physiological effects of watching content has on our bodies 

even if your brain overrides your feeling of fear your body still produces a chemical response

this duality ‘doing the right thing by doing something difficult’ is hard for us.

if you’ve made a decision like this where you’ve had to make that choice you often oscillate between shame/guilt and numbness never feeling truly at peace with it

right now our bodies feel emotionally & chemically charged in response to images of war, its devastating 

and it’s hard to hold that duality that sometimes we have to do hard things to do the right thing
