I'm convinced that Grey is an actual grey alien from a world with a stable and extremely narrow set climate due to his specific and particular temperature requirements.
Grey, I lived the shifted sleep schedule of 4am - noon for about 12 years, and I wouldn't recommend it to Myke. It only worked because I worked afternoons and evenings, and although I had a lot of time to myself, which was great and helped with my mental health in the short term, I was constantly having to explain to people why I couldn't do anything before noon, and it also cut me off from being able to see friends, which was a bigger negative for my mental health in the long term. Not a net positive experience
My office is basically walk-in closet in size that has a small window overlooking a tiny pond, and I actually love it after close to two decades of cubicles and work from home on a kitchen table. Just a dedicated space of my own that I can leave behind when the day's over.
I’m worried that Grey is going to some day have an Oppenheimer-esque revelation that his quest for perfect environmental comfort may have gone too far and accidentally doomed everyone.
Mike, using air conditioning and a heated seat at the same time makes perfect sense. Its the exact same as turning on the AC and sleeping with a thick duvet. You've had this conversation with Grey before and agreed with him then.
I naturally default to falling asleep between midnight and 1 am and wake up between 9:30 am and 11:00 am. When I was writing my MSc, the best times of the day for me to write were 9:00 am to 11:00 am because I didn't care and 10:00 pm to 4:00 am between that is when my brain is the clearest. I am a night owl, and my day is late shifted. However, sometimes society doesn't approve the late shift lifecycle (like grade school), so having an early morning alarm at 7:00 am was excellent for me and sleep around 10:00 pm. It is hard, though, because I got a cortisol shift around 9:00 pm every time, but I have to use that time to get cozy.
Grey's wants for notifications sound like he needs an administrative assistant. Someone who can screen calls and messages intelligently based on the situation. I just hope that AI can do something like that in the nearish future for us who can't afford it.
I don't like the AC on as low as Grey, but I can attest that nothing is better than heated seats and AC when I have been having back spasms. The AC helps distract from the pain and the heat helps relax the muscle.
Ooh, and the AC gives you a way to dump all that heat that you're receiving from the seat, which would otherwise build up in your body and give you heat stroke.
I always thought Grey was a creative with unique views and fascinating habits. Then I heard about the heated seat in the air conditioning, and I realized he's crossed over to Looney Tune world!
It might work for him. in his case the van should be more formed as a office space then anything else. The only question would be would lady Grey allow it? The MOT might be a bit much in combination with there living space in central London.
The phone in the morning addiction is a real struggle Myke master time 😳😳 dayum but the life outside greeey Huff... I want to reform my phone all together, a lot of things changed from last year and idek how to adapt, it always feels like a bigger hurdle to start
I wonder with the vision pro how well you could work if you have like a office space with multiple people wearing them. how easy can they share there work? If say three people are working on connected jobs like say two junior traffic controllers and one senior traffic controller. does the senior traffic controler see from there desk beind the two the same image the juniors see from the perpective from the two. and more interesting could then the senior person grab that window and pull it to them. and does the junior worker see it being pulled away from them. So the question is how interconnected can they be. I can see a real good situation where that might be very useful affectively are they in the same matrix system
I doubt it's that fluid. It's probably closer to emailing a copy to someone, but entertaining that idea... Two people pull on the same workspace. Copy or delete? You're working on something, your coworker is more interested in batting around the desktop making what you're doing impossible to keep track of. If other people can interact with your digital things does that mean that a notepad document created at the airport in London has to stay at the airport in London? It opens a lot of what ifs
@@hippiedude2232 it might be more for a Vision Pro version 4 or later. I imagine that is will require a lot of possessing power. requiring a server running just for that matrix like setting. your idea of having the notepad hanging for ever in a airport but only visible for those that you share that (work)space would be quite a drain on networks. however the idea that if you would come back and that note still be there hanging where ever you have left it would also be funny. you could stick a virtual sticky note on that door with the keypad code.
@@sirBrouwer @sirBrouwer it kinda depends on how/where the storage is done. I imagine it would be like storing the notepad document in a locked folder and using GPS coordinates as the folders key phrase... But speculation is just that. Also I'm sure leaving virtual sticky notes everywhere would come with its own set of challenges... Like misplacing them as if they were actual sticky notes with important info on it kinda problems. "Now where did I write down the grocery list? Oh right I was laying under the car referencing a youtube vid on fixing the brakes when that conversation hit."
@@hippiedude2232 I am now thinking of more errors if the sticky note is stuck to a wall and someone would remove said wall in the real world does the sticky note just hang in space or does it goe down with the wall? that later part would be a pain in the ass. you just recreated paper entirely.
But what if by trying to sleep until 1pm consistently you'll eventually wake up earlier every week or so and then you'll consistently be able to naturally wake up early ish
Grey is not the person to judge if you should wait 20 minutes to wake up before messing with your phone. The dude wants to be a computer so to him there's no such thing as too much screen time.
Office - A moneymaking scheme where US commercial property developers do not have to pay mortgage payments on investments. They may instead keep all that money to invest in more developments while collecting rent, on the assumption they will be able to afford a lump sum payoff 10 years later. When the commercial developer cannot afford these payments, they often just obtain government grants so the city won't get a black eye. This relatively risk-free scheme has made many people billionaires. With the rise of remote work, those billionaires may now default on sone of those loans. They would love if you would feel morally reaponsible for their mistakes, and blame remote workers, instead of the inherent risk of a speculative bubble.
I've been a Cortex podcast listener pretty much since the beginning, but I've just recently unsubscribed from the podcast feed. I am not sure who this podcast is for anymore, the topics are getting increasingly irrelevant and not relatable. I wish Grey would spend more of his time on his TH-cam content instead of this
I love you guys but I gotta vent 2 things 1 sitting in a car with the seat heating on and AC on instead of the numerous AC'ed buildings is some captain planet villian level of sustainability distopian nightmare. 2 I gotta ask, I know apple guys don't' like to talk about the price. But if I need a phone, a computer, a TV and all the peripherals for regular life. Where am I supposed to find 3500 dollars for a device that you yourselves describe as a cool gadget that is a neat replacement of having 2 monitors? If my budget for tech is anywhere south of 5000 dollars?
I'm convinced that Grey is an actual grey alien from a world with a stable and extremely narrow set climate due to his specific and particular temperature requirements.
And like, streams of coffee - no water
Grey almost needs a completely separate phone for each of his focus modes
Return of the multipad lifestyle

Myke wouldn't know about the absolute joys of AC plus heated seats because he doesn't even have an operator's license 😏

"Myke, you haven't lived."
Please do a Cortex Animated of the section debating car seat heaters and air conditioning!
I second this! That would be so funny!
43:45 I feel like contractors and other trades professionals have known this forever with their trucks.
Happy to have you guys back

What Grey is proposing is (unsurprisingly) a matrix goo pod
he wants that red pil very much everyday.
@@sirBrouwer I agree, especially considering the original estrogen pills from the 90’s were red
I always thought Grey was a creative with unique views and fascinating habits. Then I heard about the heated seat in the air conditioning, and I realized he's crossed over to Looney Tune world!
"Turn the Air Condition to Maximum Low."
Classic Grey.
Me listening to this on one of my three monitors:
Grey - Cars are a good office!
Also Grey - so anyway, I was in my dad's Tesla..
Cheer~~~the outer layer of the cerebrum (the cerebral cortex ), composed of folded gray matter and playing an important role in consciousness.😊
Hooray! New Cortex!
WHEN ARE YOU UPLOADING ON CGP GREY
40:34 okay… so when is grey just going to start doubling down on van/truck life? Its forever west when your always on the move
It might work for him. in his case the van should be more formed as a office space then anything else. The only question would be would lady Grey allow it? The MOT might be a bit much in combination with there living space in central London.
The phone in the morning addiction is a real struggle
Myke master time 😳😳 dayum but the life outside greeey
Huff... I want to reform my phone all together, a lot of things changed from last year and idek how to adapt, it always feels like a bigger hurdle to start
Does Grey know that he can turn on triple tap on the back of his phone to access control center so that he’s never tempted to go into notifications?
Well, that solves the temperature control problem for the next Greycation hotel room.
I wonder with the vision pro how well you could work if you have like a office space with multiple people wearing them. how easy can they share there work?
If say three people are working on connected jobs like say two junior traffic controllers and one senior traffic controller.
does the senior traffic controler see from there desk beind the two the same image the juniors see from the perpective from the two.

The more I listen to Grey the more I'm convinced he's insane
Btw is grey sick? He sounds a bit nasal and/or trying to use some head voice
Desecration 😂
Why doesn’t Grey get one of those massive monitors? 😅
But what if by trying to sleep until 1pm consistently you'll eventually wake up earlier every week or so and then you'll consistently be able to naturally wake up early ish

It's not quite that black and white
