takeaways
“It's a, you in control of your breathing or is your breathing controlling you?”
“If you're trying to push your limits, you better have control of your breathing and particularly your breathing rate”
“the tongue wants to be in the roof of the mouth and that airflow going backwards.”
“If you can control the speed of your breathing, you're in control of it rather than it controlling you.”
“Where you place that rib cage, your body organises itself above and below it.”
“You're not trying to teach your body to do something odd by asking it to use your diaphragm to breathe.”
“make the mouth like a nose.”
“just one number in isolation is just a little bit limited.”
“use the right tool for what you're trying to do.”
“We have to find ways to believe in ourselves.”

#165 Federico Faggin Part 2 - Science, Quantum Physics, and the Nature of Reality
2026/09/28
Part 2 - Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world's entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this book, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.
summary
In Part 2, Federico Faggin shares his profound insights on consciousness, the nature of reality, and the purpose of life, blending scientific and spiritual perspectives to explore free will, suffering, and the interconnectedness of all things.

#163 - Daniela Schiller -The neural basis of emotion and social cognition. Neuroscience & Psychiatry
2026/09/25
Daniela Schiller is professor of neuroscience and psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she directs the Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience. Her research focuses on how the brain represents and modifies emotional memories. Her lab has delineated the neural computations of threat learning, how the brain modifies emotional memories using imagination, and the dynamic tracking of affective states and social relationships.
Schiller earned her Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University, where she developed a laboratory model for negative symptoms of schizophrenia. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at New York University, where she examined methods for emotional memory modification in the human brain. She joined Mount Sinai in 2010.
Schiller’s work has been published in numerous scholarly journals, including Nature, Neuron, Nature Neuroscience and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. She is a Fulbright Fellow and a Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow, and she has received many awards, including the New York Academy of Sciences’ Blavatnik Award and the Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in the Neurosciences.

#158 Scott Zimmerman - Understanding the significant role that light plays on our health.
2026/08/24
Scott Zimmerman Founder of Silas, Inc., maker of NIRA lighting. Scott has more than 35 years of experience in the fields of lighting and displays. His innovations and inventions have been used successfully in a wide range of military and commercial products that include night vision displays, liquid crystal display backlighting designs, and lighting fixtures. Over the past few years, Scott has been focused on quantifying the health effects of natural sunlight. His efforts led to the development of the NIRA product line with its patent pending design that reintroduces near-infrared into our homes and offices. This research, co-authored with Professor Russel Reiter, was recently published in Melatonin Research 2, a peer reviewed medical journal, and featured in LED professional 3. In response to the pandemic, Scott extended this work toward developing novel lighting and HVAC systems that suppress disease spread. He authored a peer reviewed paper on this topic that was published in the Journal of Infectious Disease and Epidemiology
summary
Scott shares insights on the profound impact of light on health, hormones, and the environment. We explore misconceptions about light, the importance of natural sunlight, and how modern lighting affects our health and well-being. Scott shares insights on the impact of artificial lighting on health, the importance of matching the spectrum to natural sunlight, and the future of light technology and health monitoring. Overall he reminds us to sped more time outside and to bring awareness to the issues with our current modern light environment.
