That's something that's crosses borders and cultures. And yet we end up being a cog in a system. The Uber driver racing around doing things they wouldn't ordinarily do because the system ispushing them to cut every corner. or the mom who's struggling because the
And so this is not going to be the best use of my vocabulary. Cognitive dissonance is that part in a conversation where you're listening, you go, I don't really like that. I hear an opinion.
I don't really-- I don't agree with that opinion. Cognitive dissonance really, in my opinion, shows up when you hear something. Without even thinking about it, you just start to frown.
you're right. You know, the whole, the whole solar system, man. It's just like this amazing..." I'm like, "Whoa, okay. Well, what is it doing?" Like, "Tell me what tools of cognitive and behavioral science are you using to reach that conclusion," right? And so I think it's actually much more productive to take this operational stance and say, "Tell, tell me what protocols you think you can deploy with this thing that would lead you
human. You must be something else." Because humans, I don't know, standard humans today, I don't think can do that. You must be some kind of a bodhisattva or some other thing that has these massive cognitive light cones. So I think what's scaling from zero, and I do think it goes all the way down, I think we can talk about even particles doing something like this. the cognitive light cone. And so now this is an interesting... here, I'll try for a definition of life or whatever, for whatever it's worth. I spent no time trying to
The goal has been achieved. No individual cell knows what a finger is or how many fingers you're supposed to have, but the collective absolutely does. And that process of growing that cognitive light cone from a single cell to something much bigger, and of course the failure mode of that process, so cancer, right? When cells disconnect, they physiologically disconnect from the other cells. Their cognitive light cone shrinks. The boundary between self and world, which is what the cognitive light cone
...and see if it applies. If a thing could be shown to have some kind of cognitive complexity, some kind of mind, why not apply to it the same kind of analysis and the same kind of tools, like psychedelics, that you would to a complex human mind?
And consider the human ability to hold contradictory beliefs simultaneously. Cognitive dissonance is known, but perhaps the function is to allow flexible adaptation, so on and so forth. That really captures the public imagination, that holy shit, this isn't...
infection. Your immune system is very active. You're fighting off a pathogen, right? Do you feel like you're tired or do you feel like you're cognitive cognitively at your peak? Uh yeah, I'm like I'm I'm out of out of action for several days usually, right? You're tired and your brain isn't
And I'm not talking about explicit bias here, where someone is consciously aware that they are discriminating against a person. Cognitive biases happen unconsciously. They are implicit biases, when our decision-making is influenced by beliefs and patterns we aren’t even consciously aware of.
And just as a side note, there's this study that's been going on for decades that has found that people who stay cognitively active to their last days-- for example, they're living with a bunch of other people, and they're constantly having and so on-- many of them have Alzheimer's disease, but it wasn't even known when they were alive.
Easy or difficult? cognitive disinhibition-- some people tend toward cognitive disinhibition, kind of a natural way, because they have changes in their DNA
That's voluntary. And these two things use different types of muscle we don't need to get into today. Cognition is something that, traditionally, in animal behavior was very problematic because we had no way to measure it, no way to think about it. And quite honestly, until recently, there was a huge bias around cognition.
If you flip through the book, you'll find I paid money to put this in the book just because I've wanted to have the caption Making Cogs Great Again.I took the rest of day off after writing that.
¿estos en qué lío me van a meter? Cog í y puse networking.Qué hombre, pues estos americanos que son muy listos enseguida le ponen una palabra y parece que ya es otra cosa.
So there was a gap in between my personal feeling of coming back in, and my intellectual or-- I don't know-- cognitive feeling that I was still in microgravity. So it's not at all the same for a long duration mission.
And those changes occur in vision, motor control, speech and hearing, cognition, attention, learning, memory, Cognitive. So cognitive guidelines that come out of this kind of thing are to focus attention on important information and calls to action, which is not what drugstore.com does.
And so, therefore, other cognitive functions, like language function, visual spatial function, and executive function-- all of these different so-called cognitive domains-- end up getting affected as the disease progresses over time. Now, I do, in my clinic, get confronted with patients who come to me and say, for 30 years, doctor, I've not been able to remember the names of people.
And I use this phrase "cognitive resilience." I mean, resilience is a broad term that has to do with bouncing back from challenge. Cognitive resilience I'm going to unpack. And apologies in advance for the very academic-sounding description.
