I often like the interviews on this YT channel. This particular interview isn’t notable to me except for this snippet where neuroscientist Carl Friston pauses, mid a long clinical discussion about how we perhaps interpret reality to respond to Curt, the interviewer, asking for guidance on feelings of existential crisis.
The expert response: “have a cup of tea and a cigarette my boy, I smoke a pipe myself“
For me that was the most profound and meaningful comment of the episode.
I hope most of you are headed into a joyful holiday. But I know it’s troubled waters for some. So I wish you all peace and patience, and the comfort of your trusty teacup and tobacco.
