wow i didnt know elliot gould was a neuroscientist too. Truly a man of many minds!
i do genuinly want to this man to know how aggresively he looks like current day elliot gould.
My hippocampus must be minute by this point 🫠
No wonder I can’t keep a thought in my head. I’ve been stressed out my whole life.
When did Elliott Gould become a scientist?
he looks like elliot gould
As a man, I approve this message
wait i want to hear more about the contemplative aerobics
Casual Dalai Lama name drop
I think that the squares and normies who say society is “overmedicated” are in actuality, just undermedicated themselves and therefore are either not aware of what they are missing or are just jealous that they aren’t “hip”.
This Dr. is such breath of fresh air – not a common big Pharma affiliate, but a true scientist and truth teller.

Modern dance = contemplative aerobics
Wait….this isn’t Ross and Monica Geller’s dad?!
I have Anxiety just thinking about going outside for food/snacks😅. Even the thought of driving to get to any location.
I’m suspicious whenever experts talk about between-group vs. within group measurements. He says that there’s much more difference between men in terms of emotion than there is between men and women, in an effort to downplay that difference. However, that’s obvious. If we said there’s more difference in height between men than there is between men and women, that’s also obvious, but we would still have no trouble saying that men on average are taller than women. They make these same points when it comes to things like IQ and the like; anything that is immutable makes people uncomfortable because they don’t like differences. We are not blank slates. Not everything is environment. We have natures. I just don’t understand why people try to downplay these statements, as if we can know nothing about the world.
Botox can treat depression by blocking facial expressions
So much of the “gender-based traits” have more to do with socialization of a person than their biological/neurological cues anyway
He’s very antiquated in his references
This CHANNEL IS SO GOATED
We _should_ try cognitive therapy and other non-chemical methods, first, before resorting to chemicals. But making drugs is far cheaper than training more people to be therapists. And our for-profit healthcare system doesn’t want to pay more people to be therapists.
