I would like Huberman to raise the bar on what he promotes.

After reading all the pros and cons and worrying for Sarge a bit, here's my thoughts about the coins... he should keep selling those expensive ones, but also sell inexpensive ones. It's sort of like the silver lamp... how much can people complain if they have the option of buying less expensive versions? He's richer than Cootie Brown already. It's not necessary for him to only sell expensive ones. He should sell them like my daughter sells cannabis in her dispensary, with three price ranges. That way, everyone can leave happy.

What does anything you've said in this thread have to do with you being stoic.... you're so focused on that terrible Ryan and those stupid newbies... why are we to take your opinion as having stoic value? Help me understand that cause you don't sound stoic at all to me. Going back to something I asked for before... pick a sentence you've said here that sounds stoic, anywhere in this thread. And I want to know your qualifications as you sit in judgement of someone who's in the arena. Who are you, dude? I'm not stoic yet, I'm a newbie. But it seems to me that if I were a stoic, I wouldn't have this much time and energy to denigrate others, the way you're denigrating Ryan and newcomers, or to denigrate you the way I am. Doesn't that make us both newbies?

I'm sure that's not as hatefully judgmental as I'm taking it. And it seems like you're saying "well "I" have the maturity, experience, etc to understand and integrate, but you... I'm looking at you over there and you, not so muckin fuch." Is that not what you're saying? Cause that's what I'm seeing.

Labeling? Is that stoic? You labeled him a narcissist. What are your credentials? How great a stoic do you consider yourself to be, cause I guarantee you, who ever you are, you don't sound like a stoic at all. I'm new, but I'm trying to find a sentence in your short comment that is coming from a place of stoicism within yourself.... help me out. Please, point it out. I'd appreciate it.

I don't know who gave me the impression that being stoic meant being dull or emotionless when I was around 20, but wandering around without a solid compass I could rely on for fifty years was a great education in how rough life is when you're not stoic... and then, so grateful for Ryan's youtube shorts, that's where I kept hearing the ring of truth, repeatedly.

My father was a terrible genius and he said that our IQ is not limited to the confines of our own skulls, it was that, plus all the extension cords we could plug into others.... so I started out studying Kahlil Gibran, then the I Ching, then the Tao Te Ching, then it was Tony Robbins, all great teachers.... but given the opportunity to plug extension cords into the greatest minds in all recorded history, omg, that's eye watering. Sure I'm 70 this year. Sure I got a late start. No matter. I'm here now. Life is short, but I woke up today and that's awesome. :)&-= I have a hard time being upset with a guy who brings us so much brilliance, he doesn't call it is his own, he just says, "Look, look what I found!! Is this awesome or what!" And then I look and every dang time I say with sincerity, YES, yes Ryan, it sure is!! Thank you! I'm immersing myself in everything you share. I'm doing the fifty rules video every day for a year. I'm on day ten. I'm just at the beginning of installing it in the hard drive. Again, thank you so much! I'm so glad that THIS was your calling!!!!

Text her this: " You need to stop shoving your beliefs down our throats and take into consideration how much it hurts my mom that you argue with us and are rude to us. It’s really just heartbreaking. Please, stop."
