In this episode, my guest is Ari Wallach, most recently an adjunct associate professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and host of a new TV series titled A Brief History of the Future. We discuss the importance of learning to project our understanding of ourselves and our goals into the future, both for our own sake and for future generations. We also explore how this fosters a sense of unity and community within our species.\nWe examine how technology and modern society influence our perception of time and our ability to make decisions in a fast-paced, reward-driven environment that leads to our best possible future. Additionally, we discuss how the dismantling of traditional institutions has altered people's sense of purpose. We outline protocols to cultivate long-term thinking, connect with core values, and define a deep sense of purpose. This episode provides listeners with actionable tools to merge short- and long-term thinking in ways that create a positive, lasting impact on ourselves, society, and the planet.\nAccess the full show notes for this episide at hubermanlab.com.\nThank you to our sponsors\nAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman\nDavid Protein: https://davidprotein.com/huberman\nHelix Sleep: https://helixsleep.com/huberman\nROKA: https://roka.com/huberman\nLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman\nTimestamps\n00:00:00 Ari Wallach\n00:01:58 Sponsors: David, Helix Sleep & ROKA\n00:06:13 Mental Time Travel; Technology & Present\n00:15:46 Technology; Tools: Transgenerational Empathy; Bettering Today\n00:22:00 Tool: Empathy for Others\n00:26:09 Empathy for Future Generations, Emotion & Logic\n00:31:48 Tool: Emotion to Guide Action\n00:36:50 Sponsor: AG1\n00:38:02 Tools: Perfect Day Exercise; Cathedral Thinking, Awe & Future Generations\n00:43:52 Egoic Legacy, Modeling Behavior\n00:51:13 Social Media, Time Capsule, Storytelling\n01:00:06 Sponsor: LMNT\n01:01:18 Short-Term Thinking; Life Purpose, Science & Religion\n01:09:23 Longpath, Telos, Time Perception\n01:15:19 Tools: Photo Frames; Behavior & Legacy; Life in Weeks\n01:23:02 Tool: Visualizing Future You\n01:30:17 Death, Western Society\n01:36:20 Tool: Writing Letter to Future Self\n01:41:01 Society, Future Harmony\n01:47:03 Traditional Institutions, Family, Future Consciousness; \u201cProtopia\u201d\n01:58:48 Tool: Behavior & Modeling for the Future\n02:08:11 Tool: \u201cWhy Tuesdays?\u201d, Examining Self\n02:14:58 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter \nDisclaimer & Disclosures
