Fire in The Belly“I Find Myself Fascinating.” - Nick Simmonds Interview

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is so much we are yet to learn and yet to know. Every single generation since history began, has been at the cutting edge of knowledge. The further we have gone on the more we can look back and see with certainty, how things have happened. When we look forward to the future we can’t do that, because there is no certainty about what will happen in the future.
- So much of our behaviour is evolutionary. Human beings have been around for over 2.5 million years, which is about 165,000 generations. Many of these were hunter-gatherers. So much of our behaviour is dictated by our hunter-gatherer genes and conditioning.
- One can’t know the benefit of taking a risk. The only thing we know for certain is that we don’t know what would happen if we took the risk. How can you bring the risk down to a lower level so that it is easier to do?
- We’re blessed with ownership of the most complex organism in the known universe, and the irony of not being able to get our heads around how complex our brain is is mindblowing. It is so incredible, yet part of its fabric can be used against somebody.
- We’re all being manipulated and influenced all the time. The adverts that we’re getting and seeing what our friends like or dislike are all influential. We are only aware of what is happening to us a fraction of the time and therefore the potential that we have is huge.
