#45. Marin Zhelezov, Medical Doctor / Neuroscientist discusses our evolving brains and mind!

The Daily Archetype

Marin has researched how to optimize the brain. Some topics include the anatomy of the third eye (pineal gland) from a scientific perspective; the evolution of self-deception and negativity bias, as well as why happiness is elusive from an evolutionary perspective... and much more!
We covered:
1. Why squeezed testicles are more real than atoms and molecules
2. Reaching the full potential of our brains: the pragmatic VS naive idealistic perspective
3. The anatomy of the third eye from a scientific viewpoint
4. Was Einstein's brain anatomically special?
5. The evolution of self-deception (you are constantly lying to yourself and you don't know that you are doing it)
6. Why we didn't evolve to be happy
7. The current unnatural abundance of potential partners and how this actually contributes to the loneliness epidemic
8. There is no contradiction between the molecular and the mythological (biology VS psychology is a false dilemma)
9. Why you should troll people until they cry
10. "If God is dead then everything is permitted"
