Jason - How do you stay objective as a writer and in life?

Bit of a broad question but I've wanted to ask you, Sam, how do you research for your podcast? You have said that you essentially create a rant about a topic and typically reduce it into something more digestible to listeners, but how does the subject matter of the rant become so seemingly objective about how our neuroscience works? I find when I speak about psychology, I can tell that I have some strong biases that mix their way into the conversation and I'd love to learn how to maintain a more objective standpoint. To detach better from a reactive emotion and to be able to respond in a more productive way that will enhance a conversation or situation that I am in. For example: That story about how that man reacted when you left the beans on the stove all day and came back to that huge mess... The way that guy Bob reacted is the end goal lol. A true inspiration in emotional maturity.

Monique - Do Auditory Learning Difficulties affect a child's willingness to learn?

It's quite a misunderstood problem and I feel it can hold people back. It doesn't affect underlying intelligence but I worry that it can put children off learning when they feel stupid.

If someone is unenthusiastic, is that equivalent to having a negativity bias?

Jasons question in Discord. Context related to issues with depression and lacking work ethic and realising how related his work ethic was to enthusiasm. Found talking to himself, journaling and daily consistent effort a huge boost.

Accountability tool discord

Would it be possible to have discord work as peer to peer accountability tool for those that need to fabricate accountability to get their projects done? Maybe like a coworking session on zoom?
