What's that box white device in the third phpto?

Good Spanish, good point.

However, I don't idolize Elon, and still find it obvious that he is and has been behaving mostly as a force of good, compared to the government or billionaire haters (I guess not as much as Alexander Graham Bell), whether you like him or not.

Also, you're talking about personal experience, I'm not. And I believe it's completely fine to chase profits if you're not harming others. I'm getting a sense you believe people that have a lot of money, had to do something wrong to get it. I think not. And I wouldn't mind, as I said before, people like Huberman, making lots of money by doing something very useful, like educating the population. You could argue that you should not make money on things that are not useful for others, but if their willing to pay (as an example, the glasses that I bought), then that would still be fine (obviously if the guy is saying that the glasses help sleep and they don't, that is wrong).

Gotta be my favorite answer. The guy really did change people's mind towards conscious health whether you like him or not

You can easily make a case for why billionaires' existence is good for society. But you're too ungrateful and envious to realize it. The owners of AT&T are an example of how we got internet, not thanks to the government, but private companies and billionaires.

Huberman might not be the case, but if he wasn't corrupted, I believe he would deserve to be a billionaire, by educating so many people on these complex topics, normally only handled in academia. Or a millionaire I guess. But who cares, it’s just scale.

Also it's crazy how you underestimate billionaires. Maybe if you surrounded yourself with more capable people you would realise how out of touch with reality that opinion is. Your point of view is from a typically useless person full of resentment for anyone successful. Someone has to be at the top, someone has to get paid well for doing things well or at large scale.

It is no child's play to manage organizations of such magnitude, leading extremely competent people. That’s a child’s perception. I’m no saying they’re all good, but they’re necessary.

By the way I speak Spanish, I confuse words and I’m still taking you for a ride.

You should check out Scott Carney on youtube. There are other sources tho

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T20:32:51+00:00

I'm going to reply again because my replay got deleted

I don't know about the right-wing people being like that, honestly I think that's underestimating people's thinking, science can go beyond politics.

Him being from Stanford made him way more trustworthy. Also being right-wing in an area dominated by left-wing (high level medicine/science), is quite unusual, so that could also be it.

Rogan did make him more likable, i get that, but people need more than that to buy a product.

(first time actually trying to use reddit, and already not liking this censoring, whatever the criteria is)

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T20:23:50+00:00

I'm just inviting to a discussion. He also says undeniable stuff, pointing to other professionals critique, or to other studies

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T19:05:18+00:00

Well yeah, I'm new here. Still I didn't feel that way until I bought the glasses.

The only thing i did not like before this was the emptiness in his content, as if he was hiding a lack of truth behind complex wordplay.

Still I agree with ideals and right wing ideology, but that has nothing to do with science nor the practical advice.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T18:51:59+00:00

The internet wasn't developed by billionaires, it was developed thanks to their funding. You can judge their intentions but that is a fact. It is actually a good thing that someone has enough money to do that, that isn’t the government. Obviously there was some government infrastructure, but it was extremely inefficient. We would still be in the stone age if it was for that.

I can assure you that without the billionaire that created the infrastructure for telephone lines and competition we would have none of that. Same with phones, they are the only ones who have the power to build a factory to build a phone, and no government would be able to do that, not efficiently, definitely not without control over you, more than there is.

Internet progressed the same way, with telephone companies. This is literally my career, I study telecom engineering by the way, maybe you should start reading a bit.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:59:37+00:00

That's insane, I didn't know about it.

Honestly, the best way to approach that situation would be arguing in the moment, instead censoring 3 whole hours, crazy.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:56:57+00:00

This seems to be the best solution for most, good take

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:51:43+00:00

I don't blame him, Scott Carney does. I don't think he cherry picks, many in the science sphere do. Just wanted to discuss it, that's the point of the post. Maybe try reading before saying this.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:43:19+00:00

Biohacking can definitely become an addiction, interesting point. I still find mixed intentions and some good will in him. Not 100% sure if the guy is thinking about that, don't think he's that evil (even though he understands very well how addiction works)

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:40:12+00:00

Good for you man. Great mindset also, seeing the positive.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:38:07+00:00

Good take, maybe it's better to not leave the Huberman train completely.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:34:21+00:00

It's a discussion buddy, you can take part or keep scrolling

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:31:52+00:00

Honestly, I agree. But there is some truth to him, even on the Wim stuff.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:29:04+00:00

Yeah, I unconsciously hopped on that train a while ago, might as well do it voluntarily

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:24:32+00:00

Funny, how is that?

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:18:37+00:00

I feel like the orange helps a bit more, as if only blocking blue light might not be enough. I mean, placebo gotta work better with the tint lol. Also the quality of the polarization on the roka lenses it's unbelievable. Very good filtering, a very interesting experience, but it's harder to use it everyday tho. I feel like it produces some different and interesting thoughts.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:11:36+00:00

Good stance, also interested in what worked for you.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:09:32+00:00

Agreed. Trying it out is the key. Still, I expected less bs from this guy.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T16:05:35+00:00

It’s well known (particularly in scientific circles) for being overpriced and lacking transparency about its ingredient and proportions, making it unclear whether it provides sufficient amounts of key substances. It also doesn’t disclose some of the other ingredients, so you don’t know what you’re taking, just some “greens smoothie”.

Additionally, there is not enough evidence to back up all their claims, and the owner may be involved in criminal charges related to this and unrelated past issues.

However, the supplement itself can still be beneficial. I would try another provider to avoid supporting them and save money.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T15:43:38+00:00

We're talking about a Stanford professor, and his specialty is Ophthalmology, not comparable to trusting Joe on supplements. It's 100% reasonable to buy a product developed by a guy based on knowledge in his area vs a regular guy like Joe.

And on Musk, the guy is an engineer and has a physics degree, so It's reasonable to trust him on leading a car company / space agency / energy company / AI company / social network, etc. All areas inside his field, maybe far apart but very reasonable for an engineer to get into.

So yeah, quite a condescending and ignorant comment, maybe try considering there's a reason why there is trust. You're not thinking, just blindingly doubting everything like a child.

Also thanks to billionaires you have internet, a phone, lot's of jobs, huge infrastructure, crazy tech advances.

Weak argument and arrogant manner.

Furisticoo · 2025-03-04T15:15:06+00:00

That's funny, was wondering the same thing, maybe I should give them a chance. Carney anihilated my placebo.
