00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, just when I think you couldn't possibly be

2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>any dumber, We've got four ways that we make ourselves

3
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>dumber every day. Is listening to this show one of them?

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Its top answer survey says, yes, that is on the board.

5
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:20.839
<v Speaker 1>That was number one. No, we're just making ourselves dumber

6
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.199
<v Speaker 1>every day now. Number one. What was your guest early

7
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>social media or something social media related? Yeah, just scrolling

8
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>on social media. People do dumb on TikTok. Then somebody's like, oh,

9
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I have to try that. That's true. But number one

10
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>on this list, and this is from psychology today, not

11
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>treating your brain like it's a muscle. Now, it's not

12
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 1>a muscle, but you can train it like one. And

13
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.520
<v Speaker 1>most people think of their brain like it's a fixed thing.

14
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>But studies have shown just keep just knowing you can

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>train your brain and improve cognition tends to make it happen.

16
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 1>I did say that word right, didn't like because I

17
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>wasn't sure question this is what I'm talking about, and

18
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 1>I haven't trained my brain. I should have trained my

19
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>brain before this segment. But if you don't treat your

20
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 1>brain like it's a muscle, you might just slowly decline.

21
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's true. Are you when they say, like, especially

22
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>when you get older, you need to keep doing stuff

23
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.680
<v Speaker 1>because if you just sit around, that's when you know happening.

24
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 1>So are we treating our brains like muscles? Sometimes? I

25
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>think some games you play? That's right? Okay, all right,

26
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, So that's okay. That might be the one

27
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>thing that we're you know, because number two on the

28
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>list not getting enough sleep. Yeah, there you go, I

29
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>probably should be number one. Even just one night of

30
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.640
<v Speaker 1>bad sleep can make you dumber. You can probably feel

31
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>it when it happens. I know, I know we can. Uh.

32
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Number three on the list drinking alcohol guilty, you're not

33
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>just you know, dumber while you drink. Drinking too much

34
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 1>and too often can greatly affect brain function long term,

35
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>long term. Yeah, so I feel like we have gotten dumber.

36
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 1>They're committed to be being a whole dumb asses on

37
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.039
<v Speaker 1>that one. Yeah. Yeah, and number four, these are ways

38
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 1>we're making ourselves dumber every day. Not having enough structure

39
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>in your day. Our brains thrive on purpose and deadlines,

40
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and you know, without them, we're less focused and less creative.

41
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Sound like the hr person putting that in there. Yeah,

42
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you're right, the cask needs to be done by there.

43
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>You think that was HR, That was HR iHeart Radio.

44
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Any more structure in your dad
