I stopped listening to the podcast app and came to KZfaq just so I could get validation on this guy sounding like a grown up Morty.

Fourth wall was just nuked when Scott said that nerdier parts of this podcast release dopamine in a certain way❤️

You can tell how much he loves psychology just from his tone

As for the introvert/extravert dimensions, there are four primary ones, based on risk aversion vs novelty seeking. There is a physical level (dopamine), emotional level (estrogen), intellectual level (testosterone), and philosophical level (serotonin). Physical introverts are physically more cautious, this is basic depression. Emotional introverts are more wary of more intimate relationships with high emotions, which is social anxiety. Intellectual introverts prefer to follow other's lead in problem solving complex situations. And philosophical introverts are more fearful of life in general and aim to try to control life through careful planning.

After trying for self-actualization for some time my advice is to keep trying but being self-aware and curious for as long as possible with the idea that change is a process is pretty cool.

10:14 "it turns out that Maslow never drew a pyramid!" My jaw dropped at this point, just a few weeks ago I was reading a few documents about teaching methods which kept mentioning _Maslow's pyramid_ and its transitions with ordered/sequential steps (with references!). This means the pyramid's idea is based on some random interpretation of the original content... Now who did that?

So this is what Ross Gellar got up to after Friends ended

This episode is a good one.

Is that Morty?

I've always thought that psychology would inevitably hit a roadblock where quantifiable science and abstract reflection were separated. How can a human mind study itself without poisoning the well? Even with endless statistics and studies the data would ultimately be filtered through the fallible mind of humans. I understand that it uses the same logical steps as every other scientific study, but I can't help but expect inconsistency and blind spots to be inevitable.

Build your purpose "on a foundation of exploration and love." I love that. :)

Loneliness epidemic? There is a dependency epidemic, people are so insecure they can't stand to be along, they are so needy that they can't take care of their own needs. People need to be more stoic. At least that is my opinion, your opinion might be different, opinions on such matters are good but they are not science.

get nerdy please! i really enjoy the attachment style topic

I really wish there was a video version to your podcast Sean I would definately watch every episode.

Hello from Poland, @ll have a good day.

Regarding the 1hr mark on purpose, I recommend the Intelligence Squared podcast episode with Brian Greene and Tom Whipple, where he suggests focusing on legacy and having a lasting impact is only one way of looking at why you are here, the other is to focus on the here and now (see the 38m mark).

This was my introduction to Scott Barry Kaufman, a giddy entrepreneur who today is selling "transcendence" but who deals in other superlatives. Yesterday he was marketing "greatness." Before that, "the truth" about talent, creativity, and "the many paths to (a favorite topic) "greatness." Before that, high-end creativity and "the 10 Things Great (that word again: I'll guess it focus- tests off the charts) Artists, Writers, and Innovators Do Differently." I went to his website and filled out his little personality questionaire, and it had, built in, the same bits that he stumbled over in his giggly - really: it took me five shots to get through the episode: a little of that that giddy, nervous bonhomie - presentation, which places a great deal of emphasis on having a purpose, which Sean latched right on to. Good old fashioned Pragmatism as a philosophy and way of life makes the personality survey difficult to navigate. Like Prufrock, I'm glad to be of use. I don't presume to be able to make the world a better place, or wish to "change the world," like the legion of Silicon-Valley hucksters. The survey also wants to know if I'm a Truth seeker. For me, in everyday life, truth is a metaphor for what we understand to be the case. I'm content to leave capital-T "Truth" to physical scientists to argue over. They can have it (if they can rip it away from the those who believe in the literal truth of their single ancient book). In everyday life, truth is what gets you down the road or what two of you can honestly agree on. Until then it's "opinion." Transcendence is of course a metaphor, and as to what its ultimate meaning is for Kaufman in this year's book, we'll just have to buy or borrow the book to see. Well, I've stepped off the sailboat and, safely ashore, will pass.

I thrive on novelty and absolutely despair in most routine !!!

Yooo his laugh is hilarious 🤣

you might wanna lower your volume before 37:01

How bad is it with the replication crisises?

Alan Turing says ... memory

sounded like fighting words

20:00 Absolute basic of needs water and food. You can live without shelter it is not pleasant but not necessary for life.

Scott sounds like Morty haha.

it felt like the guest didn't really know what he was talking about.

Is this Olaf

1:06:53 😂

00:04 yes I just did.

I don't like the word loneliness. Some people can be alone surrounded by people and some of us can live like hermits and not be alone. I think loneliness doesn't exist as a human concept, it's maybe a boredom issue.

to be plenty

Is it me or does Kaufman sound like Morty?

where is jk

Very annoying. Fake laugh kept waking me up.

A lot of pretending in this episode. A bit too much pretending perhaps.

This is going nowhere.

Why hire actors to play your show? With this kind of wealth, you could actually talk to real psychologists, and maybe learn something
