What many people call emotional support is actually “idiot compassion”. Lori Gottlieb explains on the Huberman Lab podcast:

@LoriGottlieb1 "Yaslighting"

@LoriGottlieb1 Good one.

A gay podcast host is catching heat for his morally questionable hookup app ploy.

@LoriGottlieb1 My friends who are willing to be honest with me and tell me the truth when I am wrong are the most valuable people on the planet

@LoriGottlieb1 “Idiot compassion” is when you comfort the wound instead of cleaning it. Real support stings.. but it heals.

@LoriGottlieb1 Andrew huberman you are the fucking man !!! I’ve listened to almost all your podcasts over the last year and you helped me change my life.. thank you for all you hook do

@LoriGottlieb1 We need to teach stoicism, neuroscience and evolutionary biology starting in pre-school. Kids do not enter into adulthood with the most basic of tools to understand what they are, what their biologically proclivities are and how to process and respond to what life brings.
