In this episode, I dive into the section in the book that has to do with the diversity of autism characterized by a binary relationship between the intellectual wiring and the emotional wiring of the brain. Using two examples of autistic individuals, I outline that their way of thinking depends on how they relate to their world: one through a sense of needing to feel accepted, and the other through a sense of engaging in personal interests. One is fueled from a place of doing, and the other is fueled from a place of being.
The neurodiversity of society and culture is a collective example of how our personalities and sensibilities can vary in dramatic ways. I encourage everyone to appreciate how our heterogeneity is a profound contribution to our collective resilience, which often comes down to our free will to persevere and transcend our own personal adversity plagued by the comfort zones we identify with.
The Maynard James Keenan quote I meant to mention in the episode is:
“The new era of art is an egoless collaboration. We’re a huge patch of algae, single cells in a larger organism in sync. One person might coordinate it all, but they can’t make it happen unless all the other elements are working together.”

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
