“I’d like to emphasize that this podcast,” he would say every episode, with his particular combination of formality and discursiveness, “is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.

His detractors note that Huberman extrapolates wildly from limited animal studies, posits certainty where there is ambiguity, and stumbles when he veers too far from his narrow realm of study, but even they will tend to admit that the podcast is an expansive, free (or, as he puts it, “zero-cost”) compendium of human knowledge.

There is a hidden cost to everything you own. Things don’t just cost you monetarily. They cost you mentally, too.
The things we own, as the writer Chuck Palahniuk put in Fight Club, end up owning us. Because now we have to use it, we have to get our money’s worth out of that, we have to decide where to put it, how to take care of it, how to insure it. Some part of you is constantly carrying these and other subconscious mental burdens.
