Summary

In this episode, my guest is Ari Wallach, most recently an adjunct associate professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and host of a new TV series titled A Brief History of the Future. We discuss the importance of learning to project our understanding of ourselves and our goals into the future, both for our own sake and for future generations. We also explore how this fosters a sense of unity and community within our species. We examine how technology and modern society influence our perception of time and our ability to make decisions in a fast-paced, reward-driven environment that leads to our best possible future. Additionally, we discuss how the dismantling of traditional institutions has altered people's sense of purpose. We outline protocols to cultivate long-term thinking, connect with core values, and define a deep sense of purpose. This episode provides listeners with actionable tools to merge short- and long-term thinking in ways that create a positive, lasting impact on ourselves, society, and the planet.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.
0:06.0	I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
0:15.0	My guest today is Ari Wallach.
0:18.0	Ari Wallach is an adjunct associate professor at Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs.
0:24.0	He is also the host of a new TV series, a brief history of the future.
0:28.5	Today's discussion focuses on perhaps one of the most important questions that any and all of us have to ask ourselves at some point,
0:36.0	which is, how is it that we are preparing this planet for the future?
0:41.0	Not just for our children, if we happen to have children or want children, but for all people.
0:46.5	The human brain, as we know, is capable of orienting its thoughts and its memories to the
0:51.1	past, to the present, or to the future. But few people actually
0:55.7	take the time to think about the future that they are creating on this planet and in culture,
1:00.6	within our families, etc, for the next generation and generations that
1:04.8	follow them. Ari Wallach is an expert in this topic and he has centered his work
1:09.5	around what he calls Long Path Labs, which is a focus on long-term thinking and coordinated behavior at the individual,
1:16.7	organizational, and societal level in order to best ensure the thriving of our species.
1:22.4	And while that may sound a bit aspirational, best ensure the thriving of our species.
1:22.6	And while that may sound a bit aspirational,
1:25.1	it is both aspirational and grounded
1:28.2	in specific actions and logic.
1:30.1	So during today's episode,
1:31.4	Ari Wallach spells out for us not just the aspirations, not just what we want,
1:35.8	but how to actually create that positive future and legacy for ourselves, for our families,
