Thank you David you started my interest in the brain when I saw your BBC program "The Brain" 5 years ago. What caught my eye was the idea of a neuron as complex as a transport network. What followed was a Eureka moment when I realized the structure of such a neuron resembles a holistic route finding algorithm in a dynamic microscopic transportation model I developed 30 years ago. When I later found that the structure of the Neocortex is like a Chicago wired network the idea of a complete optimised intelligent transportation mind followed. NH@PaxAssign.com
The discussion about intelligence made me wonder, Lex, have you read Isaac Asimov's books? Particulary about adventures of detective Elijah Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw? If yes, what do you think was the main idea of that cycle of stories?
Just-In-Case vs Just-In-Time learning. Super interesting contrast. We learn when we're curious. We aren't always curious when we are taught by others. But when we seek knowledge, we learn.
The fact that he just throws out snappy self-defining terms like that shows you what a fantastic communicator he is. I'm really impressed with David on this podcast.
@@kirstinstrand6292 That's a generalization that doesn't seem to apply, actually. That's probably how it works for you - for me it has worked, along my nearly 50 years, on both situations.
I grew up on talk radio. The only talk radio that was available was conservative talk radio. Rush signed a 500 million dollar contract a few years ago. TH-cam allowed others to enjoy talk on their own favorite subject
Omg! His ted talk when he show cases the haptic feedback vest is still one of my favourite talks on the platform to date! The possibilities it suggests are just mind boggling. Thank you for having him on!
Lex, It is nearly ineffable how grateful I am for these podcasts. The ones I watch, I rewatch. I absorb as much as I can from them. Your podcasts with these experts are catalysts for young people to understand what they are interested in. Thank you for being a guiding force for so many people, including me.
This is one of the most impressive conversations ever, Mr Eagleman please full-fill your dream Humanity needs you for the good. Lex you are amazing man, your ability to bring the best from your guests is getting way better at a time and I would like to thank you for that deeply from my heart, thanks!!
David is such a gentleman! I have watched quite a few of his lectures over the years and to attempt to understand what HE might be thinking as each person who interviews him is so far behind his understanding is fascinating! Always a learning experience.
53:59 The discussion regarding in-group and out-group is fascinating. Even if you don't believe you are focusing on in-groups, they are affecting you all the time. Great Podcast!
Check out the stuff you can find of him online too, he's got a great half-hour lecture about time-perception during near-death experiences and how it ties into timing signals and schizophrenia.
@@minhuang8848 Yeah I have! He's a real legend! And if you're interested, his books are perhaps even more fascinating. I'm currently listening to the audioversion of Sum:Tales from the Afterlife, and it is absolutely amazing!
An important feature of curiosity is its fecundity: it tends to lead to other virtues. The virtue of curiosity does not depend on its leading to other virtues, but its having this instrumental value is morally significant. Curiosity bears a close relationship to, and is often bound up with, care and concern. Curiosity is rooted linguistically in the otherregarding activities of “care” and “cure” (from the Latin cūrāre, to take care of). We use the same term, “indifference” to describe both a lack of interest in other persons or things and a lack of concern about their welfare. For one to overcome indifference and be curious about something does not conceptually imply that one will also care about its welfare, but there is often a close relationship. In this section I will explore the connection between curiosity and care or concern in our relationships both with other people and with the non-human world, and I will also try to distinguish curiosity from several closely related character traits. Curiosity’s connection to care and concern makes it an important component of any friendship or deep relationship. It is tempting to say, as Jeffrey Murphy says of “the person who cannot forgive,” that the person unable to be curious “is the person who cannot have friends or lovers.”4 Though that may be an overstatement, curiosity is conducive to the kind of deep caring that characterizes close relationships. Just as one inevitably will hurt and be hurt by those with whom one is close, making forgiveness necessary, people in a close relationship will struggle with important problems and choices that they will want those close to them to understand, and care about. One mark of our relationships with our closest friends is that we desire from them the very opposite of the privacy we value with strangers. Whereas we do not want strangers to be curious about our most intimate longings and fears, we expect those closest to us both to want to learn more and to care about them. Lawrence Blum makes this connection between knowing and caring explicit in his description of the most morally praiseworthy friendships: Though all genuine human caring has moral worth and significance, is it not evident that a deeper level of caring involves greater moral worth? Such caring, far from being a natural process, is difficult to achieve, and it is not really so common. It involves getting outside oneself, being able to focus clearly on and to know another person.5 Blum’s characterization points to an important connection between the virtue of curiosity and the virtue of caring: to care deeply about another requires a degree of knowledge, and both to care and to know demand the ability and desire to get outside oneself and engage with the world.
I often can't believe this podcast actually exists. It is excellent on every metric you would measure for people that are interested in science, technology, computer programming and AI. Thank you Lex, it's extremely high quality, you do great prep, and ask insightful questions whilst keeping it fun and engaging. It is not just the volume, but the lineup of people is outstanding, huge names, it's incredible. To have all this knowledge and insight distilled into one channel is a great achievement. I'm sure many share the same view that if one was to provide a brief for a podcast on these topics the spec would say: - Interview a good mix of researchers, academics, engineers and entrpreneurs that are at the top of their field doing cutting-edge work - Also interview people that have great heritage in these areas but are not necessarily active now, but can provide great historical contexts and understanding - Is crated by someone passionate about the topics and is of a similar calibre/also actively working in the field, but is also humble enough to sometimes ask the simple questions. To play the role of the audience and not assume much prior knowledge - Have it long-form so that they can really get into the weeds and talk at length and depth - Great audio and video, of course This podcast nails every point. Appreciate all of the hard work Lex, you've created something truly remarkable.
David Eagleman is one of my favorite neuroscientists. I’ve read all his books. This interview was one of your best (in my humble & totally unsolicited opinion) ☺️ Thank you for this & all that you do.
1:26:58 "We can expand our umwelt by adding new senses" Lex (and everyone listening): "what's unwelt?" David: "the umvelt is the slick's of reality that you pick up on." Lex: helluva word
47:20 - THIS!!! This is so important and I'm glad he pointed it out and has the humility of thinking that way. I observe this to be lacking in the field of many medical doctors, practitioners and some scientist too.
I’m 2 years too late, but the part about hearing through the skin gave me shivers as it’s so beautiful. This is why beauty is in the eye of the beholder as we can see the soul of our beloved shine through their skin. Namaste
You know; I’ve seen most of Lex’s open-courseware & TH-cam work, & this really is so intriguing. In my opinion: The out of left field inquiry about free will is the best & funniest question I’m aware of, (ever).

I love that Lex has evolved into asking his beautifully interesting guests tough questions 💗 I used to be very suspicious of Lex for downplaying the capabilities of AI, as well as his own intellect.

You’re just trying to help figure out the truth of our {true} potential. & I’ll always respect you as an intellectual, as a standup guy & lifelong student from this point forward until you prove otherwise. Your work has enhanced my self esteem & awareness as to what’s going on in this world (& when I really needed it). I appreciate you bro, & I appreciate all my, disconnected, but connected, intellectual brothers & sisters supporting this young maverick’s “hero’s journey.”
This thought provoking video has renewed my sense of hope for humanity which was headed down hill. David Eagleman altered my ideas about how fast we can adapt, say about 10x faster perhaps even 1k+ depending on circumstances. Becoming aware of our adaptation capabilities increases our ability to tap into those same capabilities. Thanks Lex Fridman for yet another brain stimulating video.k
Incredible interview, new information presented in a way that doesn't negate all prior knowledge, while making new explanations sooooo accessible! Thanks to both!
i know this guy from his conversation with Sadhguru. Time for me to find out what hes about, i only remember him as very open minded and tolerant to other world views and ideas of philosophy and spirituality - which was very satisfying for me to watch since alot of other scientists who go into dialogue with spiritual teachers try to mark their wisdom as nonsense. Love that dude already!
Does anybody else have the feeling that the playback speed changes from 0.5x when the camera is pointing at Lex to 1.75x when the camera points at David? xD
I listen to long form podcasts because it keeps my mind occupied with interesting data while I'm doing housework, etc. I would rather my mind be occupied with this, than with my day to day problems. And I can see both positive and negative possible effects. It can become a new form of escapism.
Loved this conversation 🧠 Just finished reading his book called Incognito. He explains things in a simple way and which is very precious I believe. Thanks for the podcast🙋🏻♀️
First saw Eagleman on the Colbert report 10 years ago. I was 20 and not into science at all. I decided to read his book "Incognito" and it opened my mind!
Great, geart podcast, tank you Lex and I would like personnaly thnak David eagleman for it Ted show in 2015, best ted I had seen, it helped me a lot to make the project I am doing
his TED talk was what got me to choose bioengineering, it's so cool the podcast that has reignited my passion for science and life has the person who did it the first time
Love how “smart people” often close their eyes, stare up at the wall and ceiling, searching their mind for the proper words to express their complex ideas.
I'm working right now. It's a cold magical windy night. I'm listening to this podcast. And I am now willing to try out this Nueralink thing. Just out of curiosity and just out of boredom of life in general. Why not? The thought of being metallic is not as worrisome to me anymore. I'm becoming more comfortable with the idea. I would sign up for it. I enjoyed this conversation.
I think some of the content you provide is valuable and worth to learn from. I really enjoyed the podcast. For us to learn better In the era of lecture like podcasts , it would be nice to share the summaries and key points of the podcast brother. I recommend you to adapt some kind of a teacher attitude and share a few slyest at the end
57:00 - Joe Straczynski, the amazing author of the awesome Babylon 5 Sci-Fi series, discovered this ad hoc. He said that the extras who dressed up as various alien races had an unerring tendency to sit next to each other at lunch in groups, despite the fact that they had been chosen to be one alien or another at random by the casting department.
This is why there always will be war. I think it will stay like this because its also an engine for evolution to rise above itself as a specie. In an evil way maybe yes. But in nature evil or good isnt the most important thing. Its survival.
so awesome topic and guest! especially since i'm listening to Iain McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World"!

Thank you David you started my interest in the brain when I saw your BBC program "The Brain" 5 years ago. What caught my eye was the idea of a neuron as complex as a transport network. What followed was a Eureka moment when I realized the structure of such a neuron resembles a holistic route finding algorithm in a dynamic microscopic transportation model I developed 30 years ago.

The Neuron is the intelligence as one realise the part of a neuron as whole and the whole in every part is natural in completing all optimal pathways.
The discussion about intelligence made me wonder, Lex, have you read Isaac Asimov's books? Particulary about adventures of detective Elijah Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw? If yes, what do you think was the main idea of that cycle of stories?

First with Manolis, now here with David, I just can't help but start wildly grinning once they start talking about 'senses'. Keep it up Lex!
42:00 anyone got any info on this? He was talking about the Romans having 7 levels of learning, the highest of which being curiosity.
I also searched a lot and couldn't find. Any updates on this?
Any sources available ?
Same question. Subscribing for the answer.
An important feature of curiosity is its fecundity: it tends to lead to other virtues.
The virtue of curiosity does not depend on its leading to other virtues, but its having this
instrumental value is morally significant. Curiosity bears a close relationship to, and is
often bound up with, care and concern. Curiosity is rooted linguistically in the otherregarding activities of “care” and “cure” (from the Latin cūrāre, to take care of). We use

I love the podcasts with neuroscientists, it’s really informative and interesting🙏
I don't believe when Joe Rog said "I'm a big fan of your work" but if Lex will say that I'll absolutely believe it, man is such a beast.
Love the idea of restoring and enhancing/creating new senses for humans!
Great guest choice!

His books are so fascinating , I finished the incognito in 3 days , it really que you to think about your perceived world.
What an incredible conversation. I ordered a copy of Livewired in the middle of watching this. Thank you for the great content Lex

Andrew Huberman, Lisa Barrett, David Eagleman, and Lex Fridman are wiring my brain or a part of my brain wiring now. Thank you!
I remember reading one of his books, "Incognito" a while ago and it's always stuck with me, super interesting!
Super fascinating book
Long time Fan of David Eagleman and new fan of this podcast, so happy I found this 😊
This has been my favorite episode of the podcast so far!
If everytime they speak they close their eyes to thing hard, it's a good conversation
Thanks a lot for having David, Lex!

In my opinion:
The out of left field inquiry about free will is the best & funniest question I’m aware of, (ever).
As I feel that out neurochemical “stars aligning” so that agency/really, actually being in the “pilot’s seat” becoming possible is incredibly rare.
Like; winning a low level lottery rare.
For some people it may never happen.
I might be one of those people for whom agency never occurs.
But I was shocked to see that Alex Garland’s “Devs” corresponds exactly with the core worldview I’ve maintained since back when I was a minor.
I love that Lex has evolved into asking his beautifully interesting guests tough questions 💗
I used to be very suspicious of Lex for downplaying the capabilities of AI, as well as his own intellect.
But I see now that I was wrong, & that Lex means well, & that his allegiance is to our “better Angels” 😇
I apologize for ever thinking the worst of you Lex.
You’re just trying to help figure out the truth of our {true} potential.

Great interview Lex ! Always great content and perspective given by Dr Eagleman delivered in a way a lamen is able to digest.
I'm only a few minutes in and I can already tell this is gonna be a good one
The part that blew my mind is the brain can control expression and suppression of specific genes, the implications are profound

I really enjoyed the podcast. For us to learn better In the era of lecture like podcasts , it would be nice to share the summaries and key points of the podcast brother. I recommend you to adapt some kind of a teacher attitude and share a few slyest at the end
Wonderful interview
can’t focus on my work flow when this guys speaks 🤯
You can tell this guy brilliant because he’s a Packer fan. Don’t ever change
David Eagleman is the first guy I feel I relate to more in how we think about big concepts compared to Lex +_+
Wow! Extremely enlightening and inspiring conversation. I highly enjoyed this one, thanks :)
My new favourite obsession, getting high on some quality weed and listening to the Lex Fridman Podcast.
57:00 - Joe Straczynski, the amazing author of the awesome Babylon 5 Sci-Fi series, discovered this ad hoc. He said that the extras who dressed up as various alien races had an unerring tendency to sit next to each other at lunch in groups, despite the fact that they had been chosen to be one alien or another at random by the casting department.
This is why there always will be war. I think it will stay like this because its also an engine for evolution to rise above itself as a specie. In an evil way maybe yes. But in nature evil or good isnt the most important thing. Its survival.
Terrific content...Thanks for sharing, Lex!
Highly recommend his book SUM to anyone who hasn't read it.
What a great talk👍
so awesome topic and guest! especially since i'm listening to Iain McGilchrist's "The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World"!
Hey Lex, seeing ads in middle of the conversation, you said no ads in middle that break the flow? (got ad from v8 sugar energy drink)
Thank you Lex.
