And that's a fantastic joke to start off. 15 00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: I love what you're doing here because I swear to 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,479 God that we have become such a lazy generation due 17 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,560 to the Internet that it's almost like I don't need 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,159 to remember because it'll do it for me. But man, 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,880 you give us so many reasons why that's a bad 20 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,679 decision to put dependence on that. 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm I'm glad you can bring that up 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,719 to start because it's so true and It's kind of 23 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:09,640 the genesis of. 24 00:01:09,599 --> 00:01:10,879 Speaker 2: Why I wrote this book. 25 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 3: You know, we live in a day where tech is 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,439 threatening to replace what we do with our minds or 27 00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:19,400 what we used to do with our minds every day. 28 00:01:19,719 --> 00:01:22,879 And while obviously there's room for tech and tech can 29 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,000 be helpful for a lot of things that we do, 30 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,280 it's removing this agency that we have over our own 31 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,560 cognitive abilities, and I think that kind of detracts from 32 00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:37,680 our human experience. So I'm all about using our mental faculties, 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,480 faculties before we you know, outsource to a device or 34 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:45,760 an AI agent, just because if you don't use it, 35 00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:46,359 you lose it. 36 00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: That is true with physical things, but also the mind. 37 00:01:49,719 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: See that's the way I feel about my spelling. It's 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280 not that I'm a poor speller. I swear to God 39 00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:57,319 I'm not. It's just that I don't trust what I'm 40 00:01:57,319 --> 00:01:59,599 putting on because I'm a daily writer, and if I'm 41 00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:03,040 not thing without spell check inside those journals, then somebody's 42 00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:04,879 gonna come by ten years from now and go, God, 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,000 this guy sucked when it come to spelling. 44 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, but listen, imagine there was no spell check, right, 45 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:11,680 what would you do. 46 00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: I'll be the happiest guy on earth. 47 00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but you'd also be better at spelling right, 48 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,800 because you'd painstakingly, at one point at the beginning, you'd 49 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,120 have to painstakingly recheck a lot of the words that 50 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,159 you think you miss misspelled, and you'd learn the hard way, 51 00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:28,560 but you would learn right, and then over time you'd 52 00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:30,599 remember a lot of those ones that you'd mess up 53 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,800 and get wrong. And that's that's what people need to 54 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,560 do now. Is Yes, these tech and devices out there 55 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,719 will make our lives faster and more efficient. But if 56 00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,000 you take a moment to pause and try to use 57 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,879 your own brain for a second, to use your own 58 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,479 memory before you, you know, with a phone number, before 59 00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:49,719 you put it in your phone, just that little step. 60 00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:52,080 I'm not saying just eliminate tech. I'm just saying, use 61 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,879 your mind before you use the tech. 62 00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:56,759 Speaker 1: See now, is that the reason why being a daily 63 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,199 writer is maybe a positive thing to attract and which 64 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,560 I could teach you to more people, because it's not 65 00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:05,000 that I'm living in my past.

There's more with Nelson Dellas coming 103 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,000 up next. The name of the book every Day Genius 104 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,959 Hacks to Boost your Memory. Let's get back into that 105 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,399 talk with Nelson Dellas well. Your book, the idea of 106 00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:00,800 it has been with me for a very very long time, 107 00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:03,120 so for it to physically finally be out here is 108 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,319 a gift to me. And I'm being so selfish when 109 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,920 I say that. But the thing about it is, though 110 00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:10,480 it's helped me strengthen my concentration, I've been using your 111 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,319 techniques and trying to do this because if we don't 112 00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:15,800 have concentration, we've got problems. 113 00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's I love hearing that. That's amazing and 114 00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:22,959 exactly what you said, like, nowadays, it's so easy to 115 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,240 be distracted. I mean, there are literal apps and machines 116 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,120 out there that are designed specifically to distract the human 117 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,360 and we're almost helpless to fight against it. So having 118 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,680 focused techniques and practices is so important, especially now. 119 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,879 Speaker 1: And one of the things that you do, which I 120 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:44,959 just think is fabulous is the fact that you put 121 00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:47,720 focus on fitness as well as proper diet, because that 122 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,199 you've got to feed that head. And that's one of 123 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,160 the things, especially when it comes to the memory, it's 124 00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:53,680 not going to exist without the fuel. 125 00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: No, exactly. Just like when we work out our body, 126 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,160 we know that we need to fuel it right, have 127 00:06:00,199 --> 00:06:02,720 the energy to do that. The brain is the same thing. 128 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,279 It requires blood flowing to it. So smooth blood flow 129 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,519 comes from working out your body and being healthier in general. 130 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,560 So the brain is a big part of your body, 131 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,879 and you can't ignore feeding at the right things. 132 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:18,959 Speaker 1: So now, what is your proper diet? Because the one 133 00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,199 thing that I went to in studying your words is 134 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,720 the fact that for months now I've done this is 135 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,000 my go to when I'm about ready to write Sauer 136 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,759 Kraut and olives, and I swear to God I get 137 00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,240 energy from those.
