AWONDERJUNKIE
A WONDERJUNKIE is someone who is passionately curious with an insatiable appetite for learning—someone who follows curiosity wherever it leads.
Curiosity and wonder open an infinite path of discovery.
Through conversations with the remarkable people I meet around the world, I explore the nature of consciousness, the nature of reality, human potential, creativity, and what it means to be human.
I created AWONDERJUNKIE to share my love of learning, connecting, and discovering—and to learn from the hearts and minds of others.
We live in an extraordinary time, with more opportunity than ever to explore ideas, connect with people, and expand our understanding of the world and ourselves.
Open your mind. Stay curious. Embrace uncertainty. Enjoy the ride.
“Those who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe are as good as dead; their eyes are closed.”
— Albert Einstein

takeaways
“It's a, you in control of your breathing or is your breathing controlling you?”
“If you're trying to push your limits, you better have control of your breathing and particularly your breathing rate”
“the tongue wants to be in the roof of the mouth and that airflow going backwards.”
“If you can control the speed of your breathing, you're in control of it rather than it controlling you.”
“Where you place that rib cage, your body organises itself above and below it.”
“You're not trying to teach your body to do something odd by asking it to use your diaphragm to breathe.”
“make the mouth like a nose.”
“just one number in isolation is just a little bit limited.”
“use the right tool for what you're trying to do.”
“We have to find ways to believe in ourselves.”

#164 Federico Faggin -Part 1- Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature
Episode 164
Show notes
Federico Faggin is one of the greatest luminaries of high technology alive today. A physicist by education, he is the inventor of the microprocessor and the MOS silicon gate technology, both of which underlie the modern world's entire information technology. With the knowledge and experience of a lifetime in cutting-edge fields, Federico now turns his attention to consciousness and the nature of reality, sharing with us his profound insights on the classical and quantum worlds, artificial intelligence, life and the human mind. In this book, he elaborates on an idealist model of reality, produced after years of careful thought and direct experience, according to which nature's most fundamental level is that of consciousness as a quantum phenomenon, while the classical physical world consists merely of evocative symbols of a deeper reality.
summary
Federico Faggin shares his extraordinary journey from pioneering microprocessor technology to exploring the nature of consciousness and the universe. This episode delves into his insights on the fundamental role of consciousness, free will, and the interconnectedness of all things.

#163 - Daniela Schiller -The neural basis of emotion and social cognition. Neuroscience & Psychiatry
Episode 163
Show notes
Daniela Schiller is professor of neuroscience and psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she directs the Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience. Her research focuses on how the brain represents and modifies emotional memories. Her lab has delineated the neural computations of threat learning, how the brain modifies emotional memories using imagination, and the dynamic tracking of affective states and social relationships.
Schiller earned her Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University, where she developed a laboratory model for negative symptoms of schizophrenia. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at New York University, where she examined methods for emotional memory modification in the human brain. She joined Mount Sinai in 2010.
Schiller’s work has been published in numerous scholarly journals, including Nature, Neuron, Nature Neuroscience and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. She is a Fulbright Fellow and a Kavli Frontiers of Science Fellow, and she has received many awards, including the New York Academy of Sciences’ Blavatnik Award and the Klingenstein-Simons Fellowship Award in the Neurosciences.
