@TheoVon @hubermanlab Schultz's 1997 research revolutionized our understanding of dopamine - it's not about pleasure but prediction errors. Your temporal difference learning model elegantly explains why anticipation drives both motivation and addiction cycles.

@TheoVon Dopamine spikes when you work towards the goal and make progress, often moreso than when you achieve the goal.

Be careful about stacking stimulants and exercise. Energy drinks, caffeine, and nicotine can improve motivation and performance, but they also cause high-amplitude dopamine release with minimal to zero effort. When you use a stimulant, you might feel more motivated to workout. But in the absence of the stimulant, your motivation levels are likely to plummet. If you need a stimulant for every workout, you’re creating a pattern of behavior that won’t serve you well in the long run. Listen as Dr. Andrew Huberman (Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.) describes how he uses caffeine to enhance his workout quality while preventing it from becoming a crutch. Check out the post below for a link to the full episode!

Logan Paul responds to Theo Von after Theo called him and Jake Paul an “L” for intentionally messing with his chair, causing him to fall “Theo Von knowingly sat in a broken chair before the inauguration and we pointed out to him… I’m a WWE superstar that’s how you know it wasn’t me, you went through a chair and not a table” 👀

Theo Von just had a holy shit moment. Laura Delano: “Guess how long a psychiatric drug is studied for … to get approved as safe and effective?” Theo: “10 years?” His guess wasn’t even close. Delano: “6 to 8 weeks.” “If you actually read the drug labels … you’ll be shocked by what you read.” “They redact a lot of stuff.” “Some of these are 50 pages.” Theo Von Laura Delano

What a crazy world we live in. Big shoutout Theo Von for defending himself. If you read the full story this dude was going up to Theo multiple times antagonizing him and was asked to stop repeatedly. At what point should Theo be allowed to assume this guy might be insane and shouldn’t be in his personal space?

Deliberate cold exposure leads to a prolonged rise in dopamine and norepinephrine above baseline levels. One hour of cold water immersion at 14℃/57℉ elevates dopamine by as much as 250% above baseline. This can last for hours and explains the lasting feelings of euphoria and enhanced focus many people experience as a result. What's particularly interesting is this boost in dopamine occurs without an apparent subsequent drop in dopamine below baseline levels which is in stark contrast to drugs of abuse like cocaine. Those substances cause large and rapid spikes in dopamine followed by drops below baseline levels (the crash), which can be quite detrimental. ”I’ve never seen anything else...that creates that long arc of dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine release that 1 minute of being uncomfortably cold can create.” - Dr. Andrew Huberman (Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.) Listen to Dr. Andrew Huberman explain how deliberate cold exposure affects dopamine and what this means for cognition and mood in episode 91 of the FoundMyFitness podcast:

🚨 NEW: Theo Von and Jake Paul say the Druski Erika Kirk skit was hilarious and Jake Paul says that he wants do blackface to even the playing field. THEO VON: “It’s so bizarre. It’s hilarious. This looks like it could be you or Logan in 40 years. This is Hulk Hogan’s whole family in one picture.” 😂 😂 😂 JAKE PAUL: “ I thought it was hilarious. I loved it. I’m obviously a Republican and all the Republicans being mad about this is an L for Republicans because this is hilarious. Even though it’s dark and twisted, this is what comedy is. We’re humans, let’s make fun of ourselves. And there’s truth in this.” JAKE PAUL: “I’ve been calling make up artists over the past few days and I want to do a response to this and go full on darker and do it back because why not. Are we on the same playing field?” THEO VON: “ Justin Trudeau, did it and he’s dating Katy Perry. He was b-facing. Look how dark he went. Look at Jimmy Kimmel. He’s even got the cross eyes.” JAKE PAUL: “Jimmy Kimmel is on the left. He’s untouchable. How can he get away with this?” THEO VON: “ the thing that pisses me off is that kids can’t even be black for Halloween. You can have a kid with nothing racist in his heart and he just wants to be his favorite athlete.” THEO VON: “The craziest skit is Druski spit on a black guy out of a car dressed as a white guy.” JAKE PAUL: “Honestly, bro?” THEO VON: “No more honesty out of you right now.” 😂 😂 😂
