Just finished up listening to the podcast while lifting. Agree with the person who said the volume was low, but it definitely didn't stop me from listening to the entire talk. First time ever listening to Supptalk but really enjoyed it and thought both parties did an awesome job.
This was my first interview and Ii had a lot of fun. Shane is a great host and really had a quick understanding, even though I didn't have any time to explain the product concepts to him before hand. I like the format, and being able to explain pretty scientifically dense concepts but having to do it under the gun so we didn't go over time really was a challenge - but Clear Edge came through like a champ!
Speaking of Clear Edge, I believe we're going to dedicate a bit more time on it next episode.. Nootropics are already tough to explain for people entirely unfaimiliar with the comcept and how the work, and movies like Limitless and Lucy don't help any - they actually make it more difficult to explain. For the product to work its magic, you already have to be dedicated and involved in some task or problem that is at or near your mental limit. This is critical. General intelligence (G factor) can sort of be bluntly and primitively measured and it's not going to take the yloung man gathering the carts from the parking lot at Kroger and him into a theoretical physicist within 45 minutes of dosing, but what it can do is take that same young man who likes to do word search puzzles that usually take him 15 minutes and knock him down to 13 minutes. As well, since we are tapping and activating the reward center of the brain, he will experience a huge dopamine rush which is highly pleasurable and will be conditioned to try to repeat the settmgs and this time to get the same rush he willl need to increase his performance by getting the puzzle done in 11.5 minutes - but it's highly possible that, he will be able to accomplish this extra push, given the complete formula - most especially the enhancement of the acetylcholine system functioning. It becomes a reinforcement loop that ideally never ends until death. Understanding that states of consciousness, alertness, charisma, and especially mating opportunities increase when outcome satisfaction is at its maximum. It becomes its own state of intoxication, in a way, though not only does it put recently proven neural plasticity into the spotlight by forcing the brain to form new connections to handle the increased load (which will eventually become your baseline, which then requires ever more difficult tasks/proJects in order to release that dopamine rush) but it merges frontal cortex control amd conscious choice with the ancient, primal reptilian brain structures to resolve the conflict inherent to the function that both perform., in their own unique ways, a imified "task lisr" th
