The earth is flat, mars = devon island, and NASA’s “satellite” imagery is all from weather ballons and plane flyovers.
Now THAT is a heresy!
But once you know, you know.

My heresy is that consciousness, even sentience is a spectrum (like the senses of vision, hearing etc.) EVERYTHING is conscious and we humans are actually on a limited section of the spectrum, while believing we are at some kind of pinnacle. Just as we cannot see as insects or birds do, or smell as a dog does, we cannot perceive what is beyond our spectrum.

In reply to Ray. I think you’re right Ray. In the current state of affairs no one could stop anyone from taking a treatment in order to live radically longer. But I can “say” something. And I’m worried about us sleepwalking once again into a profoundly altered humanity. As we have done recently with, for example, widespread social media adoption. I don’t like restrictions on behavior any more than I suspect you do, but I’d like to see more conversation and reflection prior to adopting history-changing technologies. That’s why I liked this new format so much! And why I appreciate you picking up my thread.

Long time listener (i.e. listened to all of your previous podcasts over the last year and read tools of titans, Tribe of mentors, and 4-hour work week) I felt compelled to leave a comment and be more involved in your community. This discussion reminds me of deep conversations I used to have with my colleague (and best friend) during my PhD. We would have these deep, argument centric, smash up sessions where we would move between fractalising and re-constituting ideas/beliefs mainly centered around scientific hypotheses but also life lessons as well. Although you are sort of, on the surface, just sharing your opinions and beliefs, I can hear in your voices the same deep considerations, re-evaluation and sublime interest. I think this new format is absolutely phenomenal as it shares with the world how great minds operate in practice. My deepest and humblest gratitude to everyone for sharing their heresies in open discussion. Please, keep them coming.

In reply to JD Hare. If you don't want to live forever, don't take the treatment. You get no say however if I want to.

I love the concept of this show. One heresies to discuss is the historical development of religion; the other marriage. Do another one please

In reply to Kira.

You never know what the lesson is going to be when listening to an episode of the Tim Ferriss Show.

For me, it was Maggie explaining how when someone tells you something or shares something with you, you share something back and show that you understand. As a form of bonding.

I have been beaten up so many times over the years for just that behavior. Been accused of being selfish, pulling the spotlight back on myself. It has been a tough lesson to learn to not do that.

Thanks Maggie. I am not crazy. Don’t know where I picked that up, probably from my parents. I grew up in California, and I certainly didn’t learn it from anyone round here.

Another thing I do – midday meal is dinner and evening meal is supper. Get a ton of grief on that one.

Tim - I quite enjoy the heresies approach and your ongoing experimentation-in-all-things. This format was more energy to pay attention to: not a bad thing just a note to say please don't stop doing the one-on-one interviews too. Two topics on my Tim Ferris interview wishlist A heresies conversation around the topic of sleep and dreaming putting together Dr. Matt Walker + Dr. David Eagleman and having them talk through their differences and theories around why we dream alongside some people who disagree with them both. Could be fun to throw a psychadelics expert or an indigenous elder in the mix. A one-to-one interview with a biomimicry expert like Janine Benyus or Dayna Baumeister and/or materials scientist like Anna Ploszajski. Then later a heresies format talking through different paradigms and belief frameworks that putting wildly different viewpoints together: could be especially fun to put biomimicry in the mix with a mycopunk, an AI expert, or an economics person. Your work is remarkable, I'm incredibly grateful you've chosen this path
