Mark Zuckerberg talking about human health is a bit ridiculous. His company is responsible for a massive decline in human mental wellbeing and a massive rise in stress.
Social media use (addiction) is directly correlated with the increase in depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Teenagers spend over six hours a day on social media kids no longer move. It has been called the greatest health risk of our time. It is ironic to have Mark Zuckerberg and his wife on the show talking about the future of health and creating tools when they are responsible for one of the biggest health crisis of today. If they wanted to help, they would do more than tools that nobody uses, especially teenagers. It’s not surprising that the medical doctor was not on for the second part of the podcast as she would not be able to lie about the science.
Great timing for this episode. Just days after, Meta is being sued by US for making its products addictive and destroying mental health among young people.
@lylerodericks yep. These platforms are designed to be addictive. On the outside they claim they are selfless and have tools to help you get off their platform knowing they make no difference
I love you to death Andrew but talking with Mark Zuckerberg about negative impact of social media is like talking with Richard Sackler about negative impact of opioid epidemic.
Having Mark and his wife on the podcast is like having the CEO of Marlboro talking about health issues without mentioning the harmful effects of tobacco consumption. It really does not work does it 🤣🤣
@@senzatieeehe had on the CEO of a harmful, addictive product responsible for the suicides of many children without talking about the harms he has caused. It makes perfect sense
Dr. Andrew, your passion and dedication to communicating science is greatly appreciated, I admire you for your intelligence, your open-mindedness and your fair and objective approach to knowledge. I have learnt a great deal from your talks and you always bring guests that match your intellect and integrity. That said, I must ask that you please don’t fall for the trap that other professionals have of associating with companies or people of dubious or questionable ethics, nor let your science-oriented platforms to become another platform for guests to spread misinformation, pseudoscience or simply give voice to them. You’re one of the few influencers whose content actually makes a positive difference and links science with the public. We don’t want to lose you.
just emphasising, we "must ask you please don't fall the trap ...of associating ...people of dubious or questionable ethics, nor let your science-oriented platforms to become platforms for guests to ....simply voice their opinions." "we don't want to lose you."
I think it's quite an overreaction to say that certain guests compromise his integrity and intellect. We need to hear all voices to form a full picture of the future of health and disease prevention. I agree that this guest is not expected from Huberman and I think that's what people are reacting to.
I thought I am the only one to hate Zuckerberg for what he has done with us, with young generation, etc. I am glad to see that 99% of people in the comments feel the same about this man. I wonder if he knows… I wonder if he cares.
"To cure all human diseases" as you state in your intro. This just goes to show how oblivious this couple is about how trauma finds a way in your body, expresses it through disease, to show you there is something to work on and that you're capable of so much more than you think. I didn't listen any further Andrew. I have deep respect for you and your work, but it goes beyond me that someone who advocates for mental well-being through meditation and qualitative sleep, invites the one person that is responsible for social and online media addictions for all ages, including the most vulnerable. I think it's safe to say you've invited one of the biggest drug dealers the world has ever seen.
This is a problem. You are convinced by your own theory of medicine and are unwilling to give another a chance. Keep in mind that your theory is significantly less supported than the naturalistic approach that Mark and his wife aim to develop.
Came here to see the zulerberg backlash, was not disapointed. What right does Zuckerberg have to talk about health? Your platform gives people the tools to deal with addiciton, zuckerbergs platform profits from addiction
He marries a Dr 🤪 what a perfect match! Using the medicine ( research) combine his evil ways get to us just like Bill G somehow has…not falling for it and so disappointed to see Huberman giving his platform 🤮 look also she looks so nice and helpful… wow!
@@simonerandell8873you can’t tell you listened but didn’t understand anything they said in this podcast. I pray God let’s you open your mind and grow one day🙏🏽
It's ironic, that this comes from a guy most responsible for the destruction of young people's (especially teen girls) mental health in the last decade.
Former Huberman Lab Premium Member, here. Harkening back to the first episodes - with our beloved 'Costello' snoring in the background, my dog 'Buck' (a robust, 100 lb. yellow lab) would listen on a bluetooth speaker. It seemed 'Buck' found Costello's snoring soothing. Loved the episode where you addressed those complaining about Costello's snoring and you said - and I quote - "Sorry - not sorry. Costello stays." Loved the 90-minute Ultradian Cycle-length episodes of just you speaking to the camera. They were clear, concise, and straight to the point. They honored the listener's time and attention. Told everyone I know about The HLP and how - the only way we'd be able to hear a lecture from someone of your stature, would be to enroll in Stanford University Medical School. Those were great episodes, and I was grateful to offer my humble $100 bucks to be a Premium Member of The HLP. It was the least I could do to repay such stellar content. The past year that changed, and I found the format longer and longer, and the guest lists spotty. With that, I decided not to renew my Premium Membership. Such is the price of success in any enterprise. A machine forms around a winning model, and that machine needs to be fed more and more. Your format was once unique, Dr. Huberman - and I'll always be grateful for it. Keep up your stellar work. My very best regards in all your endeavors.
It does make one wonder what years of daily worship from millions of followers on platforms designed to keep people in addictive parasocial codependency does to a guy.
'Addictive parasocial codependency' is a concept I hope to one day work into a conversation,@@_negentropy_. Well put. Yet - here we ALL are - aren't we?
If facebook is malboro, then twitter is heroin and tik tok is crack. Cause nothing fucks up you mental health as fast as being on twitter especially if you cant observe it as circus from afar and need to insert yourself into arguing with bots
Zucc and Chan invite Huberman to thier own place to do this podcast and I'm supposed to believe its not propaganda to make Zucc look like a good guy by association? I hope Huberman was well compensated for his large loss of scientific credibility and status after this...
Great episode on sugar, this monday, with Robert Lustig. THIS episode is like, instead of Lustig, an episode was dedicated to the president of Coca-Cola, arguing for how beneficial the company is to the world. I hope the podact remain free of influence, independant and geared toward science, that's why we love it so much. Best
Dr. Huberman: You have done great things in a very honest and level headed way which is why I'm sure your followers will forgive you for this blunder. My stomach tightened and my head exploded as soon I saw you had interviewed this couple. From reading comments to this video, you will see how big a miss this was. Both of them are undeserving of any serious consideration, a fact that will be very clear for everyone to see relatively soon. Both embody what we ought not to be.
This comment proves he made a right choice to distance himself from his idealistic fanbase. Have you ever heard of the phrase "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" If you really respect him you would trust he knows what he is doing and not manipulate him.
Professor Huberman needs to seriously consider and pay attention to the vast majority of the comments below bcoz that is exactly what he needed before he engaged with and reached out to Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerberg for mental health discussion 😢
how many millions of people use facebook? how many millions of people are uneducated on how to use social media for their wellbeing and not on passive scrolling and mindless entertainment? if anything, mark should be responsible for teaching people how to use it safely. No one should use facebook or othr social media websites for hours and hours..
@@jaedonlong4084yes, but you must understand they have done everything possible to keep people hooked or from one thing to another RUclips years ago was like tea and not it’s like cocaine
I don't understand the negative comments. Are we supposed to ban philanthropists from public statements just because it is easy to create conspiracy theories about them? Everyone has the right to speak and to change as a human being. I believe that Dr. Huberman knows what he is doing and just does his job to the best of his ability. I can't count how many episodes I've listened to during breaks from the series at the gym. I recommend filling the time gaps in such a way as to use the unused time.
This is the first Huberman Lab podcast episode that I have been disappointed by. Unlike some others, I am not against getting an individual like Mark Zuckerberg on the podcast, because there is the chance to question him and create a thought-provoking discussion. However, there should absolutely have been more pressing questioning surrounding the issues of social media addiction and screen time. This podcast seemed more like an advertisement for the Meta products and services. Please take these comments into consideration, Andrew.
I thought I’d give him the benefit of the doubt 46 mins in and I was done. He’s a paid shill. Zuckerberg of all people who has spent the last three years silencing doctors and scientists to profiteer from his own platform at the expense of the general population.
First time I have clicked out of an Andrew Huberman video. Would prefer a solo episode over this any day!! Hope you read through all the comments and understand our vibe when it comes to this type of episode.
I'm GLAD Huberman is interviewing these folks. I feel that it would do Zuckerberg some good spending time with a kindhearted manly man. I think Zuckerberg's take on bullies is based on personal experience. I guess I am the 1% of people he talks about. There are some wicked evil people in the world, and without the average bully, we'd never learn to stand up. That, my friend, is a valuable life lesson. I remember my first bullys full name. I guess I'd have to thank her eventually because I grew some kahonas that day. Enough said about that. I can't help but feel that the medical establishment is salivating over CZI.
@@jonathanbowen3640 "we've cured every single disease in mice" ---- Priscilla Chan "but we've avoided this feat in humans because it would adversely impact Pharma's earning potential" ---- Prester John Your opinion is a generous gesture in support of the medical status quo.
@@presterjohn1697 Not really, Im not supporting anything ,that's only in your head. I'm watching an interview with a couple of people talking about technology.
Thank you for this podcast. I always hated mark zuckerberg and his work (social media) but this interview gave me a better perspective. I understand why people hate social media and think bad of people like him but in the end of day nobody wants to miss social media because of the benefits it provides. We are all grown human beings that should be able to take responsibility for themselves. If you abuse social media it’s your own fault period. If you think the algorithms are bad you can switch platforms or create your own or leave social media it’s your choice. Your podcast has brought immense benefit to me as usual. Thanks again
Its not about social media per se. They keep already have BILLIONS of money but they keep optimazing and maximazing user engagement. You could have social media and all the benefits without it being damaging. The could easily make it less adicting or the bad aspects aversive but they literally decide to do the OPPOSITE. LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE. LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE. THEY LITERALLY ACTIVELY DECIDE TO DAMAGE MORE PEOPLE. ACTIVELY.
Putting Mark Zuckerberg on your podcast in the conversation about the future of health has made me question everything I have believed to be true about you. The last thing our culture needs is Zuckerberg involved in health. He has clearly established that he has lacked the integrity of a person who has the true benefits of humanity in mind. So disappointing.
Well this just speaks volumes about Huberman. I've been a fan even before he had a podcast. And the turn that neuroscience and neurobiology has taken these past few years rubbed me the wrong way. I felt like Huberman was still for the science but I guess no man is above money, even scientist. the check and sponsorship he probably is getting for stanford and his labs well that should tell where things are heading. Give it a couple years but elon will be up here when he trying to promote his new gimick like tesla health.
Wow... I guess no one can have a perfect streak. Having this guy as a guest is a hard miss. I would've thought Dr Huberman knew his audience better. A lot of us, like myself, listen to this podcast to escape the grips of social media addiction and its effects, like depression and a lifetime of wasted time. And here we have the number one drug dealer brought onto the podcast. Just wow.
Hugely disappointed in the guest choice. The mistake could have been easily avoided, there are still many people out there aware of what values these people represent. Thank you fellow followers!
I'd say huberman lost about 60% of his audience's trust with this one. I thought my comments were overreactive, but i think we're all just tired of sellouts. Huberman was considered a good man to follow, but there's a line of integrity that I think he crossed with promoting anything Mark has to say.
From CNN, Wednesday Nov 8: "Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has personally and repeatedly thwarted initiatives meant to improve the well-being of teens on Facebook and Instagram, at times directly overruling some of his most senior lieutenants, according to internal communications made public as part of an ongoing lawsuit against the company."
I don't think it would be right for me to still watch Andrew's videos from now on. MZ is a businessman and when science meets business it's no longer science - it's business now. With all respect to Andrew's previous work, but it's time to move on. I can't trust business. It's biased toward income, not mankind.
Yes. Agreed. This episode feels like product placement. Has Huberman Labs benefitted from some MZ largesse? I think we should know. Either way I won't be so trusting of Huberman henceforth. A great reputation is so easily brought low. Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. - Proverbs 13:20 Be careful who you walk with Dr Huberman.
Making a product that does no harm but only has the potential to help doesnt require much legal defense. Please do us all a favor and take one single logic class.
Long time listener so I will add to the chorus. Having the Zuckerberg's on your podcast feels like a real slap in the face considering that they ignore all the facts about social media and children's mental health for the sake of getting rich. Truly, this episode was a HARD PASS and leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.
Been a day 1 fan of your podcast. Evangelized to dozens of folks (who are now regular listeners) in the first few months, but having these guests on feels like really poor taste, akin to having Peter Thiel on the podcast to talk about the future of mental health and psychadelic therapy. Thank you for all the quality things you've put out. I am truly grateful. Just had to add to the chorus of criticism about this particular choice. It could have been more impactful and seemingly more in alignment with the quality of this podcast to have scientists or folks who run their labs to be interviewed in stead.
I've been a loyal fan of your podcast since day one, but I find the recent choice of guests in poor taste, similar to having Peter Thiel discuss mental health, and I think featuring scientists or lab leaders would have been a more fitting and impactful choice.
Science does not work without funding. It's good to have both perspectives. And the fact you invited your friends has nothing to do with anything, except manipulate lol
@@lindap.5921 , Peter Thiel?? When was he on? Please share the link. I couldn't find it in a search, so perhaps you are confusing this podcast with another one.
@@MiranUT I also looked through all of Huberman's videos and couldn't find it, but I swear I saw a Huberman video with a guest who was promoting Elon Musk's failed "neuralink", could have been Thiel. He may have deleted it. At the time I thought this was wrong on so many levels and even posted a comment voicing my disappointment with Huberman for supporting Elon Musk and the rest of the self-indulgent billionaires who think they are experts at everything just because they have the money to buy it. I was also a Huberman fan from day 1 and had subscribed and set notifications so I can listen to the podcasts, not any more. I guess every good thing eventually turns bad. I am now taking everything I hear in his podcast with an ever growing grain of salt. I wish he would just stop at this point or don't have to do it weekly. Focus on the actual science. All the useful and good info is here already, people can come back and revisit.
You seem to forget we had social platforms before Facebook and Instagram. It was inevitable that it would happen, regardless of Zuck or not. Also in the same time frame we got the likes of Twitter (one of the worst out there for misinformation and bots). RUclips - comment section, Reddit (one of the worst places for echo chamber thinking), 4chan - enough said.
As someone who is relatively new to Dr. Huberman’s podcast I’m curious if there are any of his previous conversations where he has talked about the negative adverse effects of social media. There are so many comments about no longer trusting AH and not wanting to watch his podcast which is exactly what I’ve been trying to decide having only seen 2 of his podcasts prior to this one. People who have lost trust in him, do you think he was unbiased before and presenting truthful information with good intent or are you thinking he has been corrupt from the start? Do you think Meta bought their way into one episode or that they have been behind the scene players prior to this?
Absolutely shocked to see Huberman bringing a hypocrit to his podcast. FB is single handedly making millions of children and teenagers mentally ill. And here is its founder lecturing about the future of health. Like, WTF? Totally unexpected from HL.
FB is a tool Who is giving these children and teenagers unbridled access to the Internet and social media? To blame an individual is an oversimplification at best
how does fb make children unwell? genuine question. obviously social media can be bad news when people get addicted to it, but surely its up to parents/elders to educate. i started on facebook when i was a 16 and sure its pretty mindless and many stupid posts, but i just dont overdue it. it helps me stay connected with friends form all around the world. why is it so toxic in your opinion? curious
@@billymahonyyno it's designed to be addictive and the social pressure from piers to be on it is huge. Also, most parents are not self aware enough to even notice their own addiction to social media and their phones. I believe it's one of the worst things that's ever happened to people. Everyone walking around like zombies.
I love Andrew, but I remember how Congress grilled Mark on children mental health problems and revealing of his targetted approach to children. Having him as a guest is a black mark for this valuable podcast.
Agreed. Andrew lost a lost of credibility because of this. did he not think this through at all? Says a lot about his character to be interviewing a gross human like Mark, who is responsible and continuing to directly mess up our world.
Andrew has a had a lot of questionable guests and has gone on some very questionable podcasts. Its part of the speaking circuit/grift these days unfortunatly.
Mr Andrew Hubermann, as all here I appreciated your channel so far very much. An intelligent person like you should understand that technology in health might makes us more and more sick. Nowadays almost everyone is diagnosed for something and therefore treated with poison (medication). In future AI will find out when at a young age that we might get cancer or whatever and out of fear that it will really happen we will live our life in misery and depression. On top of that almost all of us get vaccinated for something that might happen or not. An entire population will be stalled under medical drugs. We need someone who solves the real problem. 8 Billion people need organic, fresh, unprocessed and untreated food on their tables. Clean untreated water for everyone is needed. I can not believe that all those great people can not see what is really needed to develop a healthy world population.
This is really hard to watch honestly. Clearly everything is staged to look cosy and friendly to the point where it feels weird. Anyone can see that they are taking advantage of Huberman's amazing credibility and positive popularity. Nowdays it feels like CEOs are pretending to be on the side of the social media victims as if we now must pretend that it our fault that these algrothims are ruining lives. Of course we believe that Mark never hired people who understand human pyschology in order to create addictive and awful tools...
Yes I see that too. It's extremely staged. For sure H decided to do this episode. I'm just not aware if implications for him would have been worse if he didn't do it. He asks weird questions. It's like a political dance where the goal is to do a full 2 ½ hours dance with the goal to reach the door without triggering any deadly trap.
Listening to this while walking on my beach. Lots of tiny plastic particulates on the tidal zone I can see makes me wonder, on the Bang for Buck front, ending built in obsolesce and reduction in that resulting waste would probably help cellular health globally. Micro plastic/nano plastics particles disrupting cellular function is a bigger deal imo. What’s the point in fixing disease caused by pollution that could be prevented in the first instance. As a Dr I always look for the cause and prevention first before looking at cures. successful.
I just feel sad. Your podcasts were the only ones that i could listen for hours … the episodes about insomnia, mental health and others gave me the opportunity to educate myself for free. I am very grateful for that. Such a great platform to gain more knowledge.. Nowadays, affording therapy, conselour, nutricionist and other specialists is a privilege…. So with your channel i believe you helped a lot of people. Thank you. But i also believe certain people dont have the right of talking about health when they themselves contribute to a disconnected and addicted society . I wish more moral or ethical choice would be considered in choosing who is going to be interviewed. ❤️ from Portugal.
It was going to happen anyway. The internet paved the way to these things the moment it gave every single person on the planet instant access to the knowledge from every single other person. That knowledge devolved, as humans tend to do, into low intellect primate interactions. Now social media is all about quick hits of dopamine, false narratives, and hate. If it weren't Zuckerberg, it would have been someone else. And 5 years from now, someone else will replace Meta/Facebook with even worse social effects. I still have to appreciate that he doesn't just collect the cash and isolate from society. At least he's using his money to improve science.
“Contribute to a disconnected & addicted society”. So you’re saying it’s their fault people are addicted to their phones and social media? It’s their fault people don’t have self control?
@@joshmartinez3311 So the addict is flawed and not the drug dealer hm? If they hadn't made their product purposefuly addictive people wouldn't need to excersice as much self control.
@@nietlasse5864 so is the inventor of the hammer a lunatic/psycho cause the tool he invented was used wrong and for murder and has killed people/animals? And yes the addict is flawed. We’re all flawed at human, addiction or not.
Agreed. Huberman has lost a lot of credibility with me for this. Zuckerberg is actively destroying the fabric of society to further enrich himself. This includes everything from enabling social media addiction (particularly as it relates to children), to providing a platform for misinformation, to simply doing everything possible to harvest as much personal information about each and every one of us (even those of us who aren't on FB/Insta/etc). Zuck might have gone into this trying to improve his reputation, but I think he just dragged Huberman down instead.
Giving Mark Zuckerberg and his wife a platform for explaining a healthcare initiative lies in stark contrast to the consideration his company has given to other healthcare professionals over the pandemic, so one would need to assume that their company would proceed along the same lines. I love Andrew's podcasts, but having these people on before they have atoned for their pandemic behaviour feels a bit "off", somehow.
Meta is also being sued by their own investors for knowingly perpetuating the trafficking of 80k+ children and refusing to abide by court orders regarding such criminal facilitation . Gee whiz, you think going on Lex and Huberman could be a diversion ?
@@alechenderson4163 THIS. Tools and products have been provided, but supervision of parents is the key. Tiny analogy - if a kid uses a hammer and hits his arm with it, you don't go and sue the company that manufactured the hammer, you rethink of your interaction with the child and how you teach to use the hammer. If you as an adult are addicted to these platforms, it's the same as substance abuse in this context - if you get black-out drunk or extremely high on cannabis, you will not go and sue the manufacturers or start yelling at nature, you rethink your choices. It's as if the parents try to juice out financial benefit from Meta purely due to their own incompetence as you mention.
@@alechenderson4163I hate this if this was the mentality then we have to shut down fast food and also shopping centers casinos anything that can lead to “addiction” some people just need self control or to take their mental health seriously
Are people trusting these two's motivations to do anything? I don't. It's difficult for me to believe that these 2 give a hoot about helping everyone live better. Some people argue that Darth Vader was really trying to help the galaxy when he built the death star, so I could be wrong.
@@patriciacornish Agreed but to be fair, if I had the opportunity to sit down with them and pull a 3 stooges double slap, I would take it! And I didn't watch this interview all the way through so maybe....just maybe
I trust them way more than Elon Musk. Who is changing Wikipedia to Dickipedia and wants to make Mars livable!!!! Like I have a proof of what they are saying. We really made a lab cell condition simulator and it works perfectly for every scenario. The main problem is that we haven't discovered all Cell Types yet. Once we do, Curing them will be much easier...!!! We are not that far guys.
What a glorious morning. These comments are more entertaining than the podcast episode itself. I love how some people praise Huberman and blah blah blah, suddenly he does something u disagree with and he's label a sold out, people unfollow, etc. We got used to see and hear content curated for our taste. When the opposite happens we just can't deal with it. That's how stupid we got with all the access to information we have nowadays. Stupid, childish and intolerable. Huberman has an impressive amount of knowledge, I personally appreciate some of the information that he presents, although since a long while ago the episodes got waaaay too long and in MY opinion, there's a lot of wording with very little being said, in another words, an influencer, a content creator with a degree (which seems more reliable than any other "influperson" who talks crap online with no real knowledge) but an influencer nevertheless, I personally find difficult to believe that he uses all the stuff (sponsors) that he promotes, still, I listen, I enjoy some of it and a thank Mr Huberman for putting this information out.
Believe them the first time, but give them another chance 🤷🏻♀️ If everyone literally brush away a noble person over one blunder with no mercy, the world gonna be full of negativity only. The rest of his videos are very helpful & free. People cancelling out of one content vs his countless good content for me is shallow. I believe his viewers are matured enough to differentiate and filter out which of his information to consume for themselves
Mark and Priscilla are supporting great things, but I’d rather have scientists than philanthropists be on Huberman Lab. There is no shortage of ways to hear about what these two are doing to improve the world and what they think of each other, but I became a fan of Huberman Lab for the brilliant minds and tools that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. This was hard to watch.
I'm not watching and I have unsubbed actually, these 2 are exactly the same as the Gates..and AI promotion? No no no no and no..BTW he's Rothschild not some nobody nerd who got discovered...and his cousin is Ed Snowden...do the research.
Love your show and will still listen to this one, however Mark et al was dismissive of the scientific process in the name of identity politics and social control in 2020. It’s hard to unsee that now….
Zuckerberg helped to fund the overthrow of our Government in 2020, why?! . Thank you for all you do in regard to spreading the truth on how to stay healthy !
One can never unsee and they never should. I simply could not take a word Dr. Rhonda Patrick seriously ever again after she spouted some nonsense about covid (that were never ever retracted).
Unfortunately many within the scientific community have permanently tarnished their credibility including med-'s'cram. Given a few recent guests, this PhD appears to moving in the same direction.
I am a fan. Professor Huberman, you are a role model for me. Not a guru or some fnantic type of things, but you are genuanly a person i look up to. Your podcast took me from a very dark place in life. You help me to deal with loss, war and many other things. But this is a first miss for me. I hate, what Zucks product made with humanity. I see how much genuine, objective evil is prodused and tolerated by facebook (you can change your branding to meta same stuff) Dont give this hypocritic shadow of a human any publicity anymore. Please.
@@xKarenWalkerx This is what happens when you get paid millions to speak. You have to follow the circuit which is filled with grifters and people with no value. The fact there is a cult of personality following Huberman these days says alot about the viewship as well. I like Huberman - he is very smart and does update his views based on new studies but really people are taking his advice as gospel instead of following scientific methods.
@@xKarenWalkerxno, he could have easily monetised his channel to the max and sold many of his own branded products but he chose not. Other than sponsorship he has never pushed the sale of any his own products like other Large YT channels do. So I really admire him for that and he deserves credit for that.
I don't understand the negativity of all the comments here. Clearly this interview was not about Zuckerberg and Chan as persons, but more so of their interests and investments in developing new tools to treat human diseases, which is great! Also, if you all hate social media this much, what are you doing on the social platform of youtube? I think all the positives about social media mentioned in this interview are valid. With that said, I think they also should have discussed the negative aspects to a greater degree (although again, social media was not really the focus here)
IDGAF what a tech billionaire says about human health, in fact it is quite dystopian. Tech is everything that is antithetical to a healthy human existence in this world. But he keeps pushing Meta.
Love you Andrew, but there's absolutely no way I can sit here for 2 minutes, let alone 2+ hrs and listen to ZuckerbOrg blow smoke up my arse. No thanks...
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who can recognize the unscrupulous audacity of interviewing zuck on anything mental health related. But a gentle reminder (or heads up) to the disappointed that this is not the first time ADH has abused his privilege and platform to pander to people who cause all kinds of harm or misinterpret/misrepresent research to sell products or ideologies. It’s sometimes harder to see it when it’s spun as benevolence. Grateful to you all for calling him out. Maybe now he will finally listen and consider more carefully the depth and breadth of his influence and his own contributions to harm. Though I’m not super convinced a guy who thinks he “owns Mondays” and thinks he is magically "without bias" can get there, I do hold out hope. To his producer, you are complicit in this mess. Please consider an episode (or many) on EVERYTHING ADH has misinterpreted, oversold, poorly substantiated, and any other egregious misuse of his Stanford creds he has perpetrated to make you all ludicrously rich. Accountability is good PR.
Professor Huberman - I have benefited so much from your work. The fact that you would give a platform to two people complicit in some of the greatest evil of our time is beyond disappointing. You should rethink your relationships with those who advised you to do this as it has significantly damaged your brand with millions of people.
Andrew, you're awesome. Love the Podcast, fan since episode one. Zuck, is a creep. Facebook and Instagram are poison. This man is getting rich off of creating misery, social anxiety, along with furthering war and destruction.
@cocomarineblu993 I think we are LONG past the point of him being innocent. He continues to make more money and censor more people while his apps are becoming more addictive, devisive, and corrosive to our humanity. This man is a creep. He's not one of us.
@cocomarineblu993they consciously engineered the platforms with the goal of making them addictive. Addiction is not a cute harmless thing even if some mobile video game advertisements are now using it as a selling point. It is a cumulative, progressing, degenerative brain disease that targets the motivation and prioritization pathways of the brain. Additionally, the most vulnerable of us - the traumatized - are extra susceptible to it. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
@cocomarineblu993 Actually it does. His company has the choice to moderate or not and there has been a lot of evidence against facebook for manipulating data, allowing data to be used by companies that act in bad faith (cambridge analytica for one tiny example), allowing organizations to plan genocide of a people on the platform etc. Social Media is not a free for all - they still have to abide by the laws of the countries they operate in.
Long time podcast listener so I will add to the chorus (quickly). Having the Zuckerberg's on your podcast feels like a real slap in the face considering that they ignore all the facts about social media and children's mental health for the sake of getting rich. Truly, this episode was a HARD PASS and leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.
Assuming the general public has a sense of committing to regulation of themselves is the problem. It’s clear based on the mental illness and the inability of todays youth to actually engage with real people, his thoughts are not in alignment with the highest good of the population.
I have been following AH since Instagram days, but this interview seems like a PR exercise. I have never known a billionaire who actually did anything that didnt make them a few more billion. Please no more. There are plenty of good people you can interview.
I am quite surprised to see this interview on this channel and thinking what the comments gonna be like. I have answers here and I felt like I am not the only one. But still, big fan of Huberman, I truly found any topics on this channel can be helpful. I only listened to 10mins of this interview though, but if they fund your lab, that’s fantastic and this is all I wanted to know. Keep up the good works!❤
absolutely! my first thought exactly. Did Andrew push back at all on this? He should given the type of other guests he has on. Dr Bob Lustig springs to mind as the real guru on disease not Zuck
I thought all of this podcast's guests were trustworthy specialists. I admired this podcast so much before this episode. This interview is such a slap in the face. Please don't lose the way, HL!
Ok, I agree so far that Zuckerberg is really not worth talking to. But now real talk ... He (Huberman) makes actual good content, this one is a miss ... One (only one) thing makes you lose trust in someone? That's very cheap. I don't like todays guests as well, and I am one fourth in and besides absolute basics and blabbering there is nothing fundamental right now. But he talks about an interesting project (no matter it's a project of Zuckerberg), he can make only so much about an episode. That those two are only willing to blabber is not his fault. I prefer knowing about this project (and therefore being able to dismiss it through education) than not having heard of it ever. I'm not even mad that he is interested in this project, it's theoretically a very interesting setup. That it's lead by human scum is a real shame though.
@@アンドレーエフ貝 it’s not about the content shared, it’s about Zuckerberg inserting himself into multiple audiences and communities in an attempt to alter public perception of him and what he is trying to do.
I don’t think it’s fair to blame social media, but rather better to take full responsibility for OUR FREE WILL and choices and discipline we can have with social media. Yes, does it contribute to mental health challenges? Yes it does. But it’s done a lot of good too. We are all responsible for using social media responsibly.
Also, we don’t need cure for diseases, we need prevention! Quitting social media is one of the best actions to stay sane and be in touch with reality a
@@mtbjason4 can we prevent cancer completely? Id appreciate it if you told me how. Even if we could prevent cancer conpletely, what about other ilnesses that genetics play a huge part on like alzheimerd or dementia?
Yes let’s have one of the men that helped spur the destruction of our attention spans (and the way modern society is now in general) and have him on to talk about health. Cool stuff? 🤷♂️
@Turtlpwr couldnt agree more. huberman and lex becoming a joke. anyway for me it was always a joke, 2-3h conversations/monologues about stuff that could be summarized in 5 minutes. its literally the same as destroying attention span via tiktoks - just opposite spectrum - requireing PLANTY of your attention time while giving not to much value, or value that could be attained in 5-10 min. both have the same effect despite being opposite (its quite common).
The result of moving tech is bound to happen. Just like drugs. Comes with good and bad. You have to be better than those who get caught up. You need discipline and self realization. I don’t agree with them but they have pushed tech in amazing ways. We need laws to catch up. And I like the expansive and true researcher Dr. Huberman is for putting emotions aside and getting information to analyze as a whole. Unlike many of you emotionally driven keyboard warriors who are using RUclips (Google), a very similar tech Zuck uses to keep your “attention spans,”push agendas on searches, sell ads and personal info, on their platform.
Where is your integrity Dr Huberman? You’ve said multiple times on this pod “The worst thing you can do is scroll social media”. Zuckerberg’s goal objectively is to get people to scroll social media, as much as possible. This is truly disgusting
I seriously wish Im wrong, but I guess it has everything to do with financing his activities. I mean, he probably just didn't anticipate this massive rejection (with all the legitimity it has). But at the same time, he is pretty intelligent. I can't really understand why he accepted the offer. It certainly did not came from him.
I understand your frustration. While it's true that social media can be addictive, it's also important to recognize that it can be a valuable tool for connecting with others, sharing information, and raising awareness about important issues. It's interesting to see how people's opinions on social media can vary so greatly. While some may see it as a negative influence, others may see it as a valuable tool for staying connected and informed.
@@vfitteruniversity well, all you said is true, but people are frustrated because Mrs Zg just tried to get people addicted the most he could. I just hope he changed his mind, those days and years, but he also has pressures from the stock market.
I guess it would be fair to say if you had an app company you would do the same thing. He wouldn't necessarily call it addiction. He would say usage and monthly viewers. To be honest with you, investors expect those numbers. You could have the best application in the world and the key to have Users Is to show them what they want to see. Basically their interests! And if someone's interests are addicting. Would you still blame the app.@@stevesimard5369
how are you seeing that? As you know we cant see them since it's been cenored... just like FB posts. excpecially the medical/health post back in 2020/2021 .. how absurd is it that Mark is talking about health now LOL! And we are to trust him why?! 🤣
@@hoppas77 I can see it because I’ve downloaded a chrome extension that reverses the changes made by RUclips (regarding the dislike button). Just search on the chrome extensions website “remove RUclips dislike” and it should pop up if you want to do the same. And yeah Huberman is starting to lose credibility here. How can we take health information from Mark Zuckerberg of all people? He is responsible for the mental health epidemic.
Dr. Huberman, you have been instrumental to my progress in life and health, every other podcast you’ve ever hosted has been amazing but ffs, READ THE ROOM
Aside from the fact that Zuck is creating more health problems with Facebook etc., he isn’t an authority in biology or human health. This is like interviewing a pro basketball player about the intricacies of woodworking. I love your other videos, but it’s perplexing why you’d have these people on… and to discuss this topic…
I haven't listened this, but the title alone diminished my interest. I find it perplexing that Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are positioned as authorities on the future of health. It is so disgusting
Best case scenario: "Oh we found the cure for every disease!!! And we sold it to pharmaceutical companies who will charge half a million dollars per pill" 🖕
I feel remorseful for what I think is dog piling Dr Huberman for this episode. I've been a subscriber since the first 8000 subscribers and before then I would watch you on other people's podcasts that I didn't even know because I loved the advice you gave. Early morning sunlight viewing changed my quality of life drastically for a period of time. So, naturally when I saw you had started your own podcast I subscribed immediately and was not disappointed. Even recently your episodes with Dr Paul Conti was such an immensely eye opening series. I walk around thinking "agency and gratitude" This channel was almost too good to be real for me and I see the same is true for many people in the comments. I think the majority of us are just taken aback at how seemingly thoughtless this decision might've been and we were definitely not expecting to see these people here. Remember Dr Andrew that many of us have lost the best version of ourselves to social media addiction, not by mistake as you surely know but by design as there are people much smarter than us being paid absurd amounts of money to use science to keep us miserably addicted to platforms like Facebook. This was equivalent to inviting the CEO of Marlborough to talk to your lung cancer suffering audience about pulmonary health. That's why there's so much backlash here, it was just a hurtful and careless decision on your part. But you're human and make mistakes, as we all do. I really do hope you come back with a better episode next week. Just understand that people are saying these things out of hurt and feeling betrayed.
yes!! was so disappointed to have him actually call in Zuckerberg for an episode on HEALTH?... mate, no..... this made me unsubscribe and took away SO much of reliability and authenticity i adored Huberman for... honestly don't know what was going through his head and WHY did his team not say anything? Zuckerberg on HEALTH?
@cocomarineblu993because we can actually find useful, unbiased, objective and valuable scientific information on RUclips as opposed to social media apps which you just doom scroll on endlessly. Looking at pictures and videos of people trying to make their lives seem better than they actually are.
I heard from A. Jones that Mark Meta Z. is building a $500,000,000 underground bunker complex in Hawaii, complete with hydroponic farm, mini nuclear reactor, and a submarine pen. Thoughts?
This is the same guy who unethically performed psychological experiments on millions of people without consent, with absolutely no remorse or accountability. He has nothing to say that catches my interest. He's simply a spoiled rich kid who believes his good fortune makes him our superior.
Hi Andrew! First and foremost, I want to express my immense gratitude for the incredible work you've been doing with your podcast. Your content has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, including mine, and it's been truly transformative. However, I couldn't help but have some mixed feelings about this interview. While I appreciate the importance of discussing such topics, it does strike me as a bit hypocritical. Facebook and Instagram, have been repeatedly criticized for their role in promoting various mental health issues like anxiety, depression, anorexia, addiction and the list goes on. It's disheartening to see the tech giants aware of these problems yet not taking more meaningful action to address them. I hope your podcast can continue to shed light on these issues, perhaps even by inviting more experts who can offer solutions to these problems. Keep up the great work, and thank you for being a platform for these essential discussions.
Did you even watch the interview? It's literally the first segment with Zuck and Andrew. It's crazy reading these comments as they're a bunch of people who didn't bother watching. You just showed up to talk shit without even listening. It's.. crazy. You worry about other people's mental illness.. Check your own. There's at LEAST 3 whole LABELED segments dedicated to it.
Everyone keeps saying "tech giants aware of these problems yet not taking more meaningful action to address them" I can't think of any way to fix this problem. If tech giants force users to do.. anything.. such as taking a break, then they are attacking on personal freedom. The only solution I see, is the users and users parents taking responsibility to care for themselves. The main point of Social Media is to provide long distance connection. How users connect is up to them.
and cheap and fast at that. like why do i have to pay 70 bucks extra if i want the real parameter checked that tells me if my b12 is on point? people spend 50 years of their life with no one ever proposing getting a basic blood test done but 30+ shots are in their bodies in their first few years.
Gluttony and Greed is the simple answer. Make a more natural approach unaffordable for the vast majority of people around the world whilst continually pushing money making pharma drugs.
Question for Dr Huberman: Who is this podcast episode helping, and in what way? I feel like this is the stand alone HL episode that perhaps unintentionally weeds out your original, independent thinking, academically oriented audience who came here for lecture based format science and as a respite from the ills of social media- where we were taught life changing tools for combating the harmful effects of social media addiction and the perils of too much screentime and the effect it has on our brains and bodies....the crowd that was SO grateful for what was essentially free ivy league education on neuroscience and related topics (an opportunity that is still unparalleled) now alienated and betrayed in ways.....for what? Funding for worthwhile medical advancements even if by evil people? Or for an even bigger viewer base full of blind followers to whatever and whomever is trending in a pop culture influencer interview capacity to help pay the bills, even if that includes loved ones, employees, and the ability to reach more people? We don't know, but we are deeply concerned and confused. I know this podcast episode release has been hard on so many of us, and I assume now perhaps just as hard on you. Really hoping for all of us to right this ship, steady the course, and get back to science that heals rather than hypocrites that attempt to fund science that might heal a fraction of what they helped to destroy.
Exactly,.. Been here from the start, and never been so grateful in my life for the tools and thoughts. Now i feel like its time to leave, just as i very unfortunately had to do with Lex too when it turned this route.
This change happened a long time ago - not sure if you have been paying attention to it. He has been selling supplements and other sponsored stuff for quite a long time, has gone on the pro speaker grifter circuit. I am sure it was very worth it to him as it would anyone. Also his main base of audience was never the academically oriented audience - always been a minority. It was mostly people who saw yet another authority who can speak well and with science to back it up "most of his audience has no clue as to what he is actually talking about - myself included on many subjects" because we are not in the field of study. These folks take snippets (like his protocol) and treat it as the end all be all to health.
The problem with the grateful, academically-minded but not really academic crowd is that they're morons looking to bloat their ego by listening to big words. When they're presented with something contrary to their belief, they immediately have to consider that everything related is tainted. Because, of course, something must be completely good or completely bad. No room for nuance with this crowd. See American politics for elaboration.
having Tim Ferris talk like he's a scientist was already a stretch, but this is really too much. Who's next? Ronald McDonald lecturing us on nutrition?
I understand your skepticism. While celebrities lending their star power to worthy causes can help raise awareness, we should be cautious about overstating their expertise. The best spokespeople are those with direct experience and credentials in the field. Perhaps in-depth interviews with the scientists and researchers involved would provide more substantive information. Ultimately, progress relies on evidence-based insights, not just good intentions.
And bravo to everyone who commented - bravo! This is an instance of the audience community being so much more ethically mature, morally aware, and communally caring than the guests. You all make me glad to be a part of this community. I will stay here thanks to you and trust that Andrew will get back to science, teaching, and his own core humanity.
What I love about your content is how practical and proven your and your guests’ advice is. I couldn’t listen for more than 20 minutes because this feels like sales pitch full of empty promises :/
The comments from this episode clearly show that Dr. Huberman has truly democatized public interest in 'science' and people are interested in science-based tools. Sending my support 🙏
Mark isn't the right person to talk about philanthropy and saving human lives while using his platform to support occupation's propaganda and sensoring victims from being heard, my account is shadowed just because I speak up for Ghaza so it's absurd to me how human he wants to appear
Dr Huberman your videos have changed my life a great deal, especially the earlier ones and Andy Galpin. For that I am immensely thankful. Recently however, I have found that either they are too repetitive, lack depth on the research or the interview questions are not well phrased (except when the interviewee takes responsibility and rephrases the question). This one now marks to me the end of the journey. I cannot trust this podcast anymore in the future and will keep only referring to some of the earlier episodes when I need to review.
@@alicequayle4625seems a safe bet on the overstretching part. who knows in regards to motive but fame and fortune do most often have their way with people.
I love the fact that the speakers came so prepared, it shows how they know so much about current research. I am impressed by the fact that they bring up their own questions so that they can talk about the breadth of the work. This is excellent work and very exciting, in today's world this is definitely the best way philanthropy should be used.
Andrew. I highly doubt you will read this. First of all, I just want to say that I understand that it is completely your right to have whatever guest you would like to on to your show, as it is YOUR show after all. I just want to point out to you all of these RUclips comments. I know it's normally unhealthy to read them, but you should actually do it. This time. You will find a common underlying theme with the majority of these comments. We are all trying to tell you something. Listen to it. This was a miss. And it was your first one as far as I was concerned. No judgement man, just food for thought
He has said in the past they he/they do read all of the comments, so yeah hopefully this one will be a wake up call and he doesn’t go talk to bill gates next
Mark Zuckerberg talking about human health is a bit ridiculous. His company is responsible for a massive decline in human mental wellbeing and a massive rise in stress.
Exactly that
Yes!!!
Well said.
Similar to Bill Gates restyling himself as a health expert during the pandemic. Wealth really makes people think they understand all problems.
Yes and i dont understand why he got invited!
Social media use (addiction) is directly correlated with the increase in depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Teenagers spend over six hours a day on social media kids no longer move. It has been called the greatest health risk of our time. It is ironic to have Mark Zuckerberg and his wife on the show talking about the future of health and creating tools when they are responsible for one of the biggest health crisis of today. If they wanted to help, they would do more than tools that nobody uses, especially teenagers. It’s not surprising that the medical doctor was not on for the second part of the podcast as she would not be able to lie about the science.
Crikey. Didn't know it was six hours.
If not Facebook, then it'd be something else
To blame him for this is an oversimplification at best
And I am by no means a fan
Well, Facebook and Instagram are already the worst social media, you can't make it worse
@The1994Boss you lack imagination.
@@The1994BossI mean…. Tiktok, to be fair, is kinda worse. But yeah
Great timing for this episode. Just days after, Meta is being sued by US for making its products addictive and destroying mental health among young people.
LOL then they better sue Tik Tok, Twitter, Snapchat, RUclips, Twitch, Kick, etc
@@ChrisTrovato Meta products are by far the worst of them. It's been scientifically proven
Sorry but the best mental health tool is to take a break from Instagram and Facebook. I don't think Zuck really cares about others well being
Exactly lol
@lylerodericks yep. These platforms are designed to be addictive. On the outside they claim they are selfless and have tools to help you get off their platform knowing they make no difference

I love you to death Andrew but talking with Mark Zuckerberg about negative impact of social media is like talking with Richard Sackler about negative impact of opioid epidemic.

Exactly. I'm absolutely dejected by this nonsense.
It’s like talking to Charles Manson about the benefits of social groups.
Having Mark and his wife on the podcast is like having the CEO of Marlboro talking about health issues without mentioning the harmful effects of tobacco consumption. It really does not work does it 🤣🤣
disagree, i think you are mistaking or making categorical mistake in this sense.
What? This makes 0 sense.
what would he know anythung about being human in the first place
@@senzatieeehe had on the CEO of a harmful, addictive product responsible for the suicides of many children without talking about the harms he has caused. It makes perfect sense
Dr. Andrew, your passion and dedication to communicating science is greatly appreciated, I admire you for your intelligence, your open-mindedness and your fair and objective approach to knowledge. I have learnt a great deal from your talks and you always bring guests that match your intellect and integrity.
That said, I must ask that you please don’t fall for the trap that other professionals have of associating with companies or people of dubious or questionable ethics, nor let your science-oriented platforms to become another platform for guests to spread misinformation, pseudoscience or simply give voice to them. You’re one of the few influencers whose content actually makes a positive difference and links science with the public. We don’t want to lose you.
He fell for that trap quite a long time ago if you watch the people who has had conversations with.
It's Joever
Well said
just emphasising, we "must ask you please don't fall the trap ...of associating ...people of dubious or questionable ethics, nor let your science-oriented platforms to become platforms for guests to ....simply voice their opinions."
"we don't want to lose you."
I think it's quite an overreaction to say that certain guests compromise his integrity and intellect. We need to hear all voices to form a full picture of the future of health and disease prevention. I agree that this guest is not expected from Huberman and I think that's what people are reacting to.
I thought I am the only one to hate Zuckerberg for what he has done with us, with young generation, etc. I am glad to see that 99% of people in the comments feel the same about this man.
I wonder if he knows… I wonder if he cares.
He knows, he does not care
Oh he knows, honey.
He doesn't care, he is severely greedy which should be considered a mental illness.
He probably doesn't know. People like that lqck any empathy to see their own mistakes
I'm sorry for my spelling mistake. See lol
"To cure all human diseases" as you state in your intro. This just goes to show how oblivious this couple is about how trauma finds a way in your body, expresses it through disease, to show you there is something to work on and that you're capable of so much more than you think.
I didn't listen any further Andrew. I have deep respect for you and your work, but it goes beyond me that someone who advocates for mental well-being through meditation and qualitative sleep, invites the one person that is responsible for social and online media addictions for all ages, including the most vulnerable. I think it's safe to say you've invited one of the biggest drug dealers the world has ever seen.
This is a problem. You are convinced by your own theory of medicine and are unwilling to give another a chance. Keep in mind that your theory is significantly less supported than the naturalistic approach that Mark and his wife aim to develop.
@@robertruta687 You seem to take a lot out of my comment that I didn't even say. Projection much maybe?
@@LeonieMulder what am I projecting in your opinion?
@@robertruta687the doctor profession is pseudoscience. Medications are worthless
Came here to see the zulerberg backlash, was not disapointed. What right does Zuckerberg have to talk about health? Your platform gives people the tools to deal with addiciton, zuckerbergs platform profits from addiction
And today, so does Huberman’s!
He marries a Dr 🤪 what a perfect match! Using the medicine ( research) combine his evil ways get to us just like Bill G somehow has…not falling for it and so disappointed to see Huberman giving his platform 🤮 look also she looks so nice and helpful… wow!

@@simonerandell8873you can’t tell you listened but didn’t understand anything they said in this podcast. I pray God let’s you open your mind and grow one day🙏🏽
It’s quite disheartening and shocking. Gross
It's ironic, that this comes from a guy most responsible for the destruction of young people's (especially teen girls) mental health in the last decade.
Ironic, but perhaps making amends?
@@ALCRAN2010 Is he making amend, though? Seems to me his social networks are always getting worse (on a users' mental health standpoint)

Former Huberman Lab Premium Member, here. Harkening back to the first episodes - with our beloved 'Costello' snoring in the background, my dog 'Buck' (a robust, 100 lb. yellow lab) would listen on a bluetooth speaker. It seemed 'Buck' found Costello's snoring soothing. Loved the episode where you addressed those complaining about Costello's snoring and you said - and I quote - "Sorry - not sorry. Costello stays."
Loved the 90-minute Ultradian Cycle-length episodes of just you speaking to the camera. They were clear, concise, and straight to the point. They honored the listener's time and attention. Told everyone I know about The HLP and how - the only way we'd be able to hear a lecture from someone of your stature, would be to enroll in Stanford University Medical School. Those were great episodes, and I was grateful to offer my humble $100 bucks to be a Premium Member of The HLP. It was the least I could do to repay such stellar content.
The past year that changed, and I found the format longer and longer, and the guest lists spotty. With that, I decided not to renew my Premium Membership. Such is the price of success in any enterprise. A machine forms around a winning model, and that machine needs to be fed more and more. Your format was once unique, Dr. Huberman - and I'll always be grateful for it. Keep up your stellar work. My very best regards in all your endeavors.
It does make one wonder what years of daily worship from millions of followers on platforms designed to keep people in addictive parasocial codependency does to a guy.

Huberman don't destroy your brand by interviewing these evil lizards
Zucc and Chan invite Huberman to thier own place to do this podcast and I'm supposed to believe its not propaganda to make Zucc look like a good guy by association? I hope Huberman was well compensated for his large loss of scientific credibility and status after this...
unfortunately, well said.
They should have invited Dr. Anna Lembke too 😂
He was compensated! Trust!
Huberman might get some big funding to his lab. no other reason to talk to Mr Facebook
I don't know how much they spent, but scrolling through this comment section gives me the impression that it wasn't money well invested.
Zuckerberg on a health issue is at the very least DISTURBING
Great episode on sugar, this monday, with Robert Lustig. THIS episode is like, instead of Lustig, an episode was dedicated to the president of Coca-Cola, arguing for how beneficial the company is to the world. I hope the podact remain free of influence, independant and geared toward science, that's why we love it so much. Best
It's absolutely NOT impartial. None of them are once they gain enough traction
Dr. Huberman: You have done great things in a very honest and level headed way which is why I'm sure your followers will forgive you for this blunder. My stomach tightened and my head exploded as soon I saw you had interviewed this couple. From reading comments to this video, you will see how big a miss this was. Both of them are undeserving of any serious consideration, a fact that will be very clear for everyone to see relatively soon. Both embody what we ought not to be.
Same here. Strange judgment on his part.
I won't forgive, this is ridiculous
How will the fact that they are undeserving of serious consideration be made very clear for everyone to see relatively soon?
This comment proves he made a right choice to distance himself from his idealistic fanbase.
Have you ever heard of the phrase "keep your friends close and your enemies closer"
If you really respect him you would trust he knows what he is doing and not manipulate him.
I have filed this particular episode under "big tech propaganda",
Professor Huberman needs to seriously consider and pay attention to the vast majority of the comments below bcoz that is exactly what he needed before he engaged with and reached out to Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerberg for mental health discussion 😢
does he care? I am shocked with these guests😢

I don't understand the negative comments. Are we supposed to ban philanthropists from public statements just because it is easy to create conspiracy theories about them? Everyone has the right to speak and to change as a human being. I believe that Dr. Huberman knows what he is doing and just does his job to the best of his ability. I can't count how many episodes I've listened to during breaks from the series at the gym. I recommend filling the time gaps in such a way as to use the unused time.
This is the first Huberman Lab podcast episode that I have been disappointed by. Unlike some others, I am not against getting an individual like Mark Zuckerberg on the podcast, because there is the chance to question him and create a thought-provoking discussion. However, there should absolutely have been more pressing questioning surrounding the issues of social media addiction and screen time. This podcast seemed more like an advertisement for the Meta products and services. Please take these comments into consideration, Andrew.
Agreed, well put
Huberman seems starstruck tbh
I thought I’d give him the benefit of the doubt 46 mins in and I was done. He’s a paid shill. Zuckerberg of all people who has spent the last three years silencing doctors and scientists to profiteer from his own platform at the expense of the general population.
good point
It's a scary Halloween theme 😅
First time I have clicked out of an Andrew Huberman video. Would prefer a solo episode over this any day!! Hope you read through all the comments and understand our vibe when it comes to this type of episode.
Me too. I could only listen to two minutes then paused. I've spent more time going through the comments to see if people feel the same as I do.
I'm GLAD Huberman is interviewing these folks. I feel that it would do Zuckerberg some good spending time with a kindhearted manly man. I think Zuckerberg's take on bullies is based on personal experience. I guess I am the 1% of people he talks about. There are some wicked evil people in the world, and without the average bully, we'd never learn to stand up. That, my friend, is a valuable life lesson. I remember my first bullys full name. I guess I'd have to thank her eventually because I grew some kahonas that day.
Enough said about that. I can't help but feel that the medical establishment is salivating over CZI.

Thank you for this podcast. I always hated mark zuckerberg and his work (social media) but this interview gave me a better perspective. I understand why people hate social media and think bad of people like him but in the end of day nobody wants to miss social media because of the benefits it provides. We are all grown human beings that should be able to take responsibility for themselves. If you abuse social media it’s your own fault period. If you think the algorithms are bad you can switch platforms or create your own or leave social media it’s your choice. Your podcast has brought immense benefit to me as usual. Thanks again
Its not about social media per se. They keep already have BILLIONS of money but they keep optimazing and maximazing user engagement. You could have social media and all the benefits without it being damaging. The could easily make it less adicting or the bad aspects aversive but they literally decide to do the OPPOSITE. LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE. LITERALLY THE OPPOSITE. THEY LITERALLY ACTIVELY DECIDE TO DAMAGE MORE PEOPLE. ACTIVELY.
Of all the people in the world, Mark Zuckerberg is among the last that I would want to have anything to do with my healthcare.
This 1000x. Him and Mr Gates can take their wages of sin and butt out of my affairs
I agree.
my thoughts exactly.
Ok but just interesting they have tie up now with the company who is pioneering now with cancer cure.
Priscilla Chan is an actual doctor.
Putting Mark Zuckerberg on your podcast in the conversation about the future of health has made me question everything I have believed to be true about you. The last thing our culture needs is Zuckerberg involved in health. He has clearly established that he has lacked the integrity of a person who has the true benefits of humanity in mind. So disappointing.
Well this just speaks volumes about Huberman. I've been a fan even before he had a podcast. And the turn that neuroscience and neurobiology has taken these past few years rubbed me the wrong way. I felt like Huberman was still for the science but I guess no man is above money, even scientist. the check and sponsorship he probably is getting for stanford and his labs well that should tell where things are heading. Give it a couple years but elon will be up here when he trying to promote his new gimick like tesla health.
Wow... I guess no one can have a perfect streak. Having this guy as a guest is a hard miss. I would've thought Dr Huberman knew his audience better. A lot of us, like myself, listen to this podcast to escape the grips of social media addiction and its effects, like depression and a lifetime of wasted time. And here we have the number one drug dealer brought onto the podcast. Just wow.
Well said
Truth!
Great comment
excellent comment.
You do understand podcasts are as bad as social media for brainwashing?
Having Zuckerberg on is a big miss, bring on someone who is not actively hurting humanity on a massive scale.

Hugely disappointed in the guest choice. The mistake could have been easily avoided, there are still many people out there aware of what values these people represent. Thank you fellow followers!
Andrew: people should go outside
Mark: why if they just stayed inside with the metaverse?
LOL "get morning and evening sunlight through our patented headsets"

Did you actually watch the video? Especially the second part.
One doesnt need to be outside all the time. There is a time and place for VR. You can do both. I do.
I'd say huberman lost about 60% of his audience's trust with this one. I thought my comments were overreactive, but i think we're all just tired of sellouts. Huberman was considered a good man to follow, but there's a line of integrity that I think he crossed with promoting anything Mark has to say.
Don't make a final judgement after one episode! This is quite inmature. Keep your mind open!
From CNN, Wednesday Nov 8: "Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has personally and repeatedly thwarted initiatives meant to improve the well-being of teens on Facebook and Instagram, at times directly overruling some of his most senior lieutenants, according to internal communications made public as part of an ongoing lawsuit against the company."
I don't think it would be right for me to still watch Andrew's videos from now on. MZ is a businessman and when science meets business it's no longer science - it's business now.
With all respect to Andrew's previous work, but it's time to move on. I can't trust business. It's biased toward income, not mankind.
Bummer to see his choices the last few weeks. Not sure I’ll jump ship yet but this one hurts.
Yea this was it for me. I’ve Unsubbed.
Yes. Agreed. This episode feels like product placement.
Has Huberman Labs benefitted from some MZ largesse? I think we should know. Either way I won't be so trusting of Huberman henceforth.
A great reputation is so easily brought low.

Long time listener so I will add to the chorus. Having the Zuckerberg's on your podcast feels like a real slap in the face considering that they ignore all the facts about social media and children's mental health for the sake of getting rich. Truly, this episode was a HARD PASS and leaves a bad taste in ones mouth.
Been a day 1 fan of your podcast. Evangelized to dozens of folks (who are now regular listeners) in the first few months, but having these guests on feels like really poor taste, akin to having Peter Thiel on the podcast to talk about the future of mental health and psychadelic therapy. Thank you for all the quality things you've put out. I am truly grateful. Just had to add to the chorus of criticism about this particular choice. It could have been more impactful and seemingly more in alignment with the quality of this podcast to have scientists or folks who run their labs to be interviewed in stead.
I've been a loyal fan of your podcast since day one, but I find the recent choice of guests in poor taste, similar to having Peter Thiel discuss mental health, and I think featuring scientists or lab leaders would have been a more fitting and impactful choice.
Thanks for saying this. I'm beginning to question the rest of his podcasts too after this one.
Science does not work without funding. It's good to have both perspectives.
And the fact you invited your friends has nothing to do with anything, except manipulate lol
@@lindap.5921 , Peter Thiel?? When was he on? Please share the link. I couldn't find it in a search, so perhaps you are confusing this podcast with another one.
@@MiranUT I also looked through all of Huberman's videos and couldn't find it, but I swear I saw a Huberman video with a guest who was promoting Elon Musk's failed "neuralink", could have been Thiel. He may have deleted it. At the time I thought this was wrong on so many levels and even posted a comment voicing my disappointment with Huberman for supporting Elon Musk and the rest of the self-indulgent billionaires who think they are experts at everything just because they have the money to buy it. I was also a Huberman fan from day 1 and had subscribed and set notifications so I can listen to the podcasts, not any more. I guess every good thing eventually turns bad. I am now taking everything I hear in his podcast with an ever growing grain of salt. I wish he would just stop at this point or don't have to do it weekly. Focus on the actual science. All the useful and good info is here already, people can come back and revisit.
I wish we could go back to the time without Facebook and Insta. That would automatically eradicate half the mental health problems.
Agreed.
You seem to forget we had social platforms before Facebook and Instagram. It was inevitable that it would happen, regardless of Zuck or not. Also in the same time frame we got the likes of Twitter (one of the worst out there for misinformation and bots). RUclips - comment section, Reddit (one of the worst places for echo chamber thinking), 4chan - enough said.
Do you think any of that is accidental? Seriously?
I don't. I fear computers but I fear the lack of them even more.
Smartphones pushed most people over the edge. Internet should have been for when one was at home, school or the library. Not 24-7 everywhere they go.
As someone who is relatively new to Dr. Huberman’s podcast I’m curious if there are any of his previous conversations where he has talked about the negative adverse effects of social media. There are so many comments about no longer trusting AH and not wanting to watch his podcast which is exactly what I’ve been trying to decide having only seen 2 of his podcasts prior to this one. People who have lost trust in him, do you think he was unbiased before and presenting truthful information with good intent or are you thinking he has been corrupt from the start? Do you think Meta bought their way into one episode or that they have been behind the scene players prior to this?
Absolutely shocked to see Huberman bringing a hypocrit to his podcast. FB is single handedly making millions of children and teenagers mentally ill. And here is its founder lecturing about the future of health. Like, WTF? Totally unexpected from HL.
FB is a tool
Who is giving these children and teenagers unbridled access to the Internet and social media?
To blame an individual is an oversimplification at best
It is not making anyone mentally ill and there is no study on this showing causation.
how does fb make children unwell? genuine question. obviously social media can be bad news when people get addicted to it, but surely its up to parents/elders to educate. i started on facebook when i was a 16 and sure its pretty mindless and many stupid posts, but i just dont overdue it. it helps me stay connected with friends form all around the world. why is it so toxic in your opinion? curious
@@billymahonyyno it's designed to be addictive and the social pressure from piers to be on it is huge. Also, most parents are not self aware enough to even notice their own addiction to social media and their phones. I believe it's one of the worst things that's ever happened to people. Everyone walking around like zombies.
@@mremtb7689I absolutely agree with you.
I love Andrew, but I remember how Congress grilled Mark on children mental health problems and revealing of his targetted approach to children. Having him as a guest is a black mark for this valuable podcast.
Agreed. Andrew lost a lost of credibility because of this. did he not think this through at all? Says a lot about his character to be interviewing a gross human like Mark, who is responsible and continuing to directly mess up our world.

Andrew has a had a lot of questionable guests and has gone on some very questionable podcasts. Its part of the speaking circuit/grift these days unfortunatly.
Mr Andrew Hubermann, as all here I appreciated your channel so far very much.
An intelligent person like you should understand that technology in health might makes us more and more sick. Nowadays almost everyone is diagnosed for something and therefore treated with poison (medication). In future AI will find out when at a young age that we might get cancer or whatever and out of fear that it will really happen we will live our life in misery and depression. On top of that almost all of us get vaccinated for something that might happen or not. An entire population will be stalled under medical drugs.
We need someone who solves the real problem. 8 Billion people need organic, fresh, unprocessed and untreated food on their tables. Clean untreated water for everyone is needed. I can not believe that all those great people can not see what is really needed to develop a healthy world population.
🎉 👏 exactly!!!
Exactly! That's why people in the middle ages lived 300, no, 400 years on average. Nowadays life spans are just plummeting, stupid technology :(
This is really hard to watch honestly. Clearly everything is staged to look cosy and friendly to the point where it feels weird. Anyone can see that they are taking advantage of Huberman's amazing credibility and positive popularity. Nowdays it feels like CEOs are pretending to be on the side of the social media victims as if we now must pretend that it our fault that these algrothims are ruining lives. Of course we believe that Mark never hired people who understand human pyschology in order to create addictive and awful tools...
Yes I see that too. It's extremely staged. For sure H decided to do this episode. I'm just not aware if implications for him would have been worse if he didn't do it. He asks weird questions. It's like a political dance where the goal is to do a full 2 ½ hours dance with the goal to reach the door without triggering any deadly trap.
When someone says: “we’re trying to cure ALL diseases”, I get very cautious….
"gotta have healthy chattel, I mean, workers, I mean..uh...citizens!"
Yes. Most disease only the patient themselves can cure.
never said that, they said “cure, treat, or manage” which is EXTREMELY different.
No do not trust what they say
Cough cough 'eugenics'
Listening to this while walking on my beach. Lots of tiny plastic particulates on the tidal zone I can see makes me wonder, on the Bang for Buck front, ending built in obsolesce and reduction in that resulting waste would probably help cellular health globally. Micro plastic/nano plastics particles disrupting cellular function is a bigger deal imo. What’s the point in fixing disease caused by pollution that could be prevented in the first instance. As a Dr I always look for the cause and prevention first before looking at cures.
successful.
I just feel sad. Your podcasts were the only ones that i could listen for hours … the episodes about insomnia, mental health and others gave me the opportunity to educate myself for free. I am very grateful for that. Such a great platform to gain more knowledge.. Nowadays, affording therapy, conselour, nutricionist and other specialists is a privilege…. So with your channel i believe you helped a lot of people. Thank you. But i also believe certain people dont have the right of talking about health when they themselves contribute to a disconnected and addicted society . I wish more moral or ethical choice would be considered in choosing who is going to be interviewed.
❤️ from Portugal.
Well said.
It was going to happen anyway. The internet paved the way to these things the moment it gave every single person on the planet instant access to the knowledge from every single other person. That knowledge devolved, as humans tend to do, into low intellect primate interactions. Now social media is all about quick hits of dopamine, false narratives, and hate.
If it weren't Zuckerberg, it would have been someone else. And 5 years from now, someone else will replace Meta/Facebook with even worse social effects. I still have to appreciate that he doesn't just collect the cash and isolate from society. At least he's using his money to improve science.
“Contribute to a disconnected & addicted society”. So you’re saying it’s their fault people are addicted to their phones and social media? It’s their fault people don’t have self control?
@@joshmartinez3311 So the addict is flawed and not the drug dealer hm? If they hadn't made their product purposefuly addictive people wouldn't need to excersice as much self control.
@@nietlasse5864 so is the inventor of the hammer a lunatic/psycho cause the tool he invented was used wrong and for murder and has killed people/animals? And yes the addict is flawed. We’re all flawed at human, addiction or not.
honestly i dont know if i can trust listening to Huberman again after this interview
amen!!! all of us AWARE of MZ detriment on humanity could never trust Huberman ever again
I hope he chooses his guests or his business deals well that align with what he is teaching and not just focusing making higher yields.
Yeah, Im done
Agreed. Huberman has lost a lot of credibility with me for this. Zuckerberg is actively destroying the fabric of society to further enrich himself. This includes everything from enabling social media addiction (particularly as it relates to children), to providing a platform for misinformation, to simply doing everything possible to harvest as much personal information about each and every one of us (even those of us who aren't on FB/Insta/etc). Zuck might have gone into this trying to improve his reputation, but I think he just dragged Huberman down instead.
SAME.
Giving Mark Zuckerberg and his wife a platform for explaining a healthcare initiative lies in stark contrast to the consideration his company has given to other healthcare professionals over the pandemic, so one would need to assume that their company would proceed along the same lines. I love Andrew's podcasts, but having these people on before they have atoned for their pandemic behaviour feels a bit "off", somehow.
What interesting timing for this interview, as I just read this headline: “Dozens of states sue Meta over addictive features harming kids.”
Meta is also being sued by their own investors for knowingly perpetuating the trafficking of 80k+ children and refusing to abide by court orders regarding such criminal facilitation .
Gee whiz, you think going on Lex and Huberman could be a diversion ?
How in the hell is that their fault? That is the fault of the disgusting level of incompetence from parents borderline child abuse.
@@alechenderson4163 THIS. Tools and products have been provided, but supervision of parents is the key.
Tiny analogy - if a kid uses a hammer and hits his arm with it, you don't go and sue the company that manufactured the hammer, you rethink of your interaction with the child and how you teach to use the hammer.
If you as an adult are addicted to these platforms, it's the same as substance abuse in this context - if you get black-out drunk or extremely high on cannabis, you will not go and sue the manufacturers or start yelling at nature, you rethink your choices.
It's as if the parents try to juice out financial benefit from Meta purely due to their own incompetence as you mention.
It's now up to 42 states.
@@alechenderson4163I hate this if this was the mentality then we have to shut down fast food and also shopping centers casinos anything that can lead to “addiction” some people just need self control or to take their mental health seriously
Are people trusting these two's motivations to do anything? I don't. It's difficult for me to believe that these 2 give a hoot about helping everyone live better. Some people argue that Darth Vader was really trying to help the galaxy when he built the death star, so I could be wrong.
it is disturbing to see Huberman listening to these two!😅
@@patriciacornish Agreed but to be fair, if I had the opportunity to sit down with them and pull a 3 stooges double slap, I would take it! And I didn't watch this interview all the way through so maybe....just maybe
Huberman is not challenging him in any moment during the conversation… painful to watch this
on the positive side at lease the sorry spectacle has generated some quality gags - like these
I trust them way more than Elon Musk. Who is changing Wikipedia to Dickipedia and wants to make Mars livable!!!! Like I have a proof of what they are saying. We really made a lab cell condition simulator and it works perfectly for every scenario. The main problem is that we haven't discovered all Cell Types yet. Once we do, Curing them will be much easier...!!! We are not that far guys.
What a glorious morning. These comments are more entertaining than the podcast episode itself. I love how some people praise Huberman and blah blah blah, suddenly he does something u disagree with and he's label a sold out, people unfollow, etc. We got used to see and hear content curated for our taste. When the opposite happens we just can't deal with it. That's how stupid we got with all the access to information we have nowadays. Stupid, childish and intolerable. Huberman has an impressive amount of knowledge, I personally appreciate some of the information that he presents, although since a long while ago the episodes got waaaay too long and in MY opinion, there's a lot of wording with very little being said, in another words, an influencer, a content creator with a degree (which seems more reliable than any other "influperson" who talks crap online with no real knowledge) but an influencer nevertheless, I personally find difficult to believe that he uses all the stuff (sponsors) that he promotes, still, I listen, I enjoy some of it and a thank Mr Huberman for putting this information out.

I’m a Vietnam veteran and a health care professional and your , story brought not only flashbacks but tears to my eyes. May God bless your work. 🙏
Love your show and will still listen to this one, however Mark et al was dismissive of the scientific process in the name of identity politics and social control in 2020. It’s hard to unsee that now….
Zuckerberg helped to fund the overthrow of our Government in 2020, why?! . Thank you for all you do in regard to spreading the truth on how to stay healthy !
One can never unsee and they never should. I simply could not take a word Dr. Rhonda Patrick seriously ever again after she spouted some nonsense about covid (that were never ever retracted).
That was the end of my Dr. Rhonda Patrick days as well.
Unfortunately many within the scientific community have permanently tarnished their credibility including med-'s'cram. Given a few recent guests, this PhD appears to moving in the same direction.
I am a fan.

Not a guru or some fnantic type of things, but you are genuanly a person i look up to.

@@xKarenWalkerxno, he could have easily monetised his channel to the max and sold many of his own branded products but he chose not.

I don't understand the negativity of all the comments here. Clearly this interview was not about Zuckerberg and Chan as persons, but more so of their interests and investments in developing new tools to treat human diseases, which is great!
Also, if you all hate social media this much, what are you doing on the social platform of youtube? I think all the positives about social media mentioned in this interview are valid. With that said, I think they also should have discussed the negative aspects to a greater degree (although again, social media was not really the focus here)

Facts
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who can recognize the unscrupulous audacity of interviewing zuck on anything mental health related. But a gentle reminder (or heads up) to the disappointed that this is not the first time ADH has abused his privilege and platform to pander to people who cause all kinds of harm or misinterpret/misrepresent research to sell products or ideologies. It’s sometimes harder to see it when it’s spun as benevolence. Grateful to you all for calling him out. Maybe now he will finally listen and consider more carefully the depth and breadth of his influence and his own contributions to harm. Though I’m not super convinced a guy who thinks he “owns Mondays” and thinks he is magically "without bias" can get there, I do hold out hope. To his producer, you are complicit in this mess. Please consider an episode (or many) on EVERYTHING ADH has misinterpreted, oversold, poorly substantiated, and any other egregious misuse of his Stanford creds he has perpetrated to make you all ludicrously rich. Accountability is good PR.
Professor Huberman - I have benefited so much from your work. The fact that you would give a platform to two people complicit in some of the greatest evil of our time is beyond disappointing. You should rethink your relationships with those who advised you to do this as it has significantly damaged your brand with millions of people.
Andrew, you're awesome. Love the Podcast, fan since episode one. Zuck, is a creep. Facebook and Instagram are poison. This man is getting rich off of creating misery, social anxiety, along with furthering war and destruction.
@cocomarineblu993 I think we are LONG past the point of him being innocent. He continues to make more money and censor more people while his apps are becoming more addictive, devisive, and corrosive to our humanity. This man is a creep. He's not one of us.
@cocomarineblu993they consciously engineered the platforms with the goal of making them addictive. Addiction is not a cute harmless thing even if some mobile video game advertisements are now using it as a selling point. It is a cumulative, progressing, degenerative brain disease that targets the motivation and prioritization pathways of the brain. Additionally, the most vulnerable of us - the traumatized - are extra susceptible to it. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Getting rich? He was a billionaire by 24. Facebook has been out for 20 years now.
@cocomarineblu993 Actually it does. His company has the choice to moderate or not and there has been a lot of evidence against facebook for manipulating data, allowing data to be used by companies that act in bad faith (cambridge analytica for one tiny example), allowing organizations to plan genocide of a people on the platform etc. Social Media is not a free for all - they still have to abide by the laws of the countries they operate in.

Ok, I agree so far that Zuckerberg is really not worth talking to. But now real talk ... He (Huberman) makes actual good content, this one is a miss ... One (only one) thing makes you lose trust in someone? That's very cheap. I don't like todays guests as well, and I am one fourth in and besides absolute basics and blabbering there is nothing fundamental right now. But he talks about an interesting project (no matter it's a project of Zuckerberg), he can make only so much about an episode. That those two are only willing to blabber is not his fault. I prefer knowing about this project (and therefore being able to dismiss it through education) than not having heard of it ever. I'm not even mad that he is interested in this project, it's theoretically a very interesting setup. That it's lead by human scum is a real shame though.
@@アンドレーエフ貝 it’s not about the content shared, it’s about Zuckerberg inserting himself into multiple audiences and communities in an attempt to alter public perception of him and what he is trying to do.

Yes, does it contribute to mental health challenges? Yes it does. But it’s done a lot of good too.
We are all responsible for using social media responsibly.

And the promoter of social engineering and new levels of censorship...the worst of the worse...
right :D
@Turtlpwr couldnt agree more. huberman and lex becoming a joke. anyway for me it was always a joke, 2-3h conversations/monologues about stuff that could be summarized in 5 minutes. its literally the same as destroying attention span via tiktoks - just opposite spectrum - requireing PLANTY of your attention time while giving not to much value, or value that could be attained in 5-10 min. both have the same effect despite being opposite (its quite common).
The result of moving tech is bound to happen. Just like drugs. Comes with good and bad. You have to be better than those who get caught up. You need discipline and self realization. I don’t agree with them but they have pushed tech in amazing ways. We need laws to catch up. And I like the expansive and true researcher Dr. Huberman is for putting emotions aside and getting information to analyze as a whole. Unlike many of you emotionally driven keyboard warriors who are using RUclips (Google), a very similar tech Zuck uses to keep your “attention spans,”push agendas on searches, sell ads and personal info, on their platform.
Thanks
Where is your integrity Dr Huberman? You’ve said multiple times on this pod “The worst thing you can do is scroll social media”. Zuckerberg’s goal objectively is to get people to scroll social media, as much as possible. This is truly disgusting
I seriously wish Im wrong, but I guess it has everything to do with financing his activities. I mean, he probably just didn't anticipate this massive rejection (with all the legitimity it has). But at the same time, he is pretty intelligent. I can't really understand why he accepted the offer. It certainly did not came from him.
I understand your frustration. While it's true that social media can be addictive, it's also important to recognize that it can be a valuable tool for connecting with others, sharing information, and raising awareness about important issues. It's interesting to see how people's opinions on social media can vary so greatly. While some may see it as a negative influence, others may see it as a valuable tool for staying connected and informed.
@@vfitteruniversity well, all you said is true, but people are frustrated because Mrs Zg just tried to get people addicted the most he could. I just hope he changed his mind, those days and years, but he also has pressures from the stock market.
I guess it would be fair to say if you had an app company you would do the same thing. He wouldn't necessarily call it addiction. He would say usage and monthly viewers. To be honest with you, investors expect those numbers. You could have the best application in the world and the key to have Users Is to show them what they want to see. Basically their interests! And if someone's interests are addicting. Would you still blame the app.@@stevesimard5369
These would be the last people id trust with my health.
For anyone curious about the Like-Dislike Ratio of this video, as of 27/10/2023 09:12 UK Time, There are 4.8k Likes and 4,793 Dislikes (Including me)
how are you seeing that? As you know we cant see them since it's been cenored... just like FB posts. excpecially the medical/health post back in 2020/2021 .. how absurd is it that Mark is talking about health now LOL! And we are to trust him why?! 🤣
@@hoppas77 I can see it because I’ve downloaded a chrome extension that reverses the changes made by RUclips (regarding the dislike button). Just search on the chrome extensions website “remove RUclips dislike” and it should pop up if you want to do the same.
And yeah Huberman is starting to lose credibility here. How can we take health information from Mark Zuckerberg of all people? He is responsible for the mental health epidemic.
I can no longer take this channel seriously🙃
Dr. Huberman, you have been instrumental to my progress in life and health, every other podcast you’ve ever hosted has been amazing but ffs, READ THE ROOM
This was a huge mistake…supporting Zuckerberg screams “paid shill”!
Exactly , Read The Room !
What are you talking about? Let people speak. If you hate Zuckerberg just don't watch it.
@@Ebb0Productionslol, follow ur own advice
Amazing comment - you are so correct.
Aside from the fact that Zuck is creating more health problems with Facebook etc., he isn’t an authority in biology or human health. This is like interviewing a pro basketball player about the intricacies of woodworking. I love your other videos, but it’s perplexing why you’d have these people on… and to discuss this topic…
Andrew I love you and all your work but I would be very careful about Mark. We are all smart and can see through the veil.
"We are all smart" pretty much sums up why you are not smart lol
I haven't listened this, but the title alone diminished my interest. I find it perplexing that Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan are positioned as authorities on the future of health. It is so disgusting
Best case scenario: "Oh we found the cure for every disease!!! And we sold it to pharmaceutical companies who will charge half a million dollars per pill" 🖕
I feel remorseful for what I think is dog piling Dr Huberman for this episode. I've been a subscriber since the first 8000 subscribers and before then I would watch you on other people's podcasts that I didn't even know because I loved the advice you gave. Early morning sunlight viewing changed my quality of life drastically for a period of time. So, naturally when I saw you had started your own podcast I subscribed immediately and was not disappointed. Even recently your episodes with Dr Paul Conti was such an immensely eye opening series. I walk around thinking "agency and gratitude" This channel was almost too good to be real for me and I see the same is true for many people in the comments.
I think the majority of us are just taken aback at how seemingly thoughtless this decision might've been and we were definitely not expecting to see these people here. Remember Dr Andrew that many of us have lost the best version of ourselves to social media addiction, not by mistake as you surely know but by design as there are people much smarter than us being paid absurd amounts of money to use science to keep us miserably addicted to platforms like Facebook. This was equivalent to inviting the CEO of Marlborough to talk to your lung cancer suffering audience about pulmonary health. That's why there's so much backlash here, it was just a hurtful and careless decision on your part. But you're human and make mistakes, as we all do. I really do hope you come back with a better episode next week. Just understand that people are saying these things out of hurt and feeling betrayed.
Extremely well put, thank you.
Agency and gratitude are also my new mantras!!
If the well gets tainted, no matter how much you loved that well, or need its water.
Drinking from it, will further poison you.
yes!! was so disappointed to have him actually call in Zuckerberg for an episode on HEALTH?... mate, no..... this made me unsubscribe and took away SO much of reliability and authenticity i adored Huberman for... honestly don't know what was going through his head and WHY did his team not say anything? Zuckerberg on HEALTH?
💯
Life got so much better after I deleted my facebook and instagram😊
Same
@cocomarineblu993 I don't understand your question? I am also on reddit btw. Never wrote anything about social media in general.
This
@cocomarineblu993because we can actually find useful, unbiased, objective and valuable scientific information on RUclips as opposed to social media apps which you just doom scroll on endlessly. Looking at pictures and videos of people trying to make their lives seem better than they actually are.
Getting off of FB and Insta is not only good for your mental health, but also for the health of your personal data.
I heard from A. Jones that Mark Meta Z. is building a $500,000,000 underground bunker complex in Hawaii, complete with hydroponic farm, mini nuclear reactor, and a submarine pen.
Thoughts?
This is the same guy who unethically performed psychological experiments on millions of people without consent, with absolutely no remorse or accountability.
He has nothing to say that catches my interest. He's simply a spoiled rich kid who believes his good fortune makes him our superior.
simply not true? Source or it did not happen fren
Hi Andrew!
First and foremost, I want to express my immense gratitude for the incredible work you've been doing with your podcast. Your content has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, including mine, and it's been truly transformative.
However, I couldn't help but have some mixed feelings about this interview. While I appreciate the importance of discussing such topics, it does strike me as a bit hypocritical. Facebook and Instagram, have been repeatedly criticized for their role in promoting various mental health issues like anxiety, depression, anorexia, addiction and the list goes on. It's disheartening to see the tech giants aware of these problems yet not taking more meaningful action to address them.
I hope your podcast can continue to shed light on these issues, perhaps even by inviting more experts who can offer solutions to these problems. Keep up the great work, and thank you for being a platform for these essential discussions.
Agree
Did you even watch the interview? It's literally the first segment with Zuck and Andrew. It's crazy reading these comments as they're a bunch of people who didn't bother watching. You just showed up to talk shit without even listening. It's.. crazy. You worry about other people's mental illness.. Check your own. There's at LEAST 3 whole LABELED segments dedicated to it.
You sound like chat gpt!!
you are automatically considered wrong and malding until your reply to my comment of what exactly do you want Andrew to do to fix it
Everyone keeps saying "tech giants aware of these problems yet not taking more meaningful action to address them"
I can't think of any way to fix this problem. If tech giants force users to do.. anything.. such as taking a break, then they are attacking on personal freedom.
The only solution I see, is the users and users parents taking responsibility to care for themselves. The main point of Social Media is to provide long distance connection. How users connect is up to them.
Why is there is no lab that tell us what we mineral and vitamin we are deficient ? So that we can change our diet accordingly????
and cheap and fast at that. like why do i have to pay 70 bucks extra if i want the real parameter checked that tells me if my b12 is on point? people spend 50 years of their life with no one ever proposing getting a basic blood test done but 30+ shots are in their bodies in their first few years.
Gluttony and Greed is the simple answer. Make a more natural approach unaffordable for the vast majority of people around the world whilst continually pushing money making pharma drugs.
Question for Dr Huberman: Who is this podcast episode helping, and in what way?
I feel like this is the stand alone HL episode that perhaps unintentionally weeds out your original, independent thinking, academically oriented audience who came here for lecture based format science and as a respite from the ills of social media- where we were taught life changing tools for combating the harmful effects of social media addiction and the perils of too much screentime and the effect it has on our brains and bodies....the crowd that was SO grateful for what was essentially free ivy league education on neuroscience and related topics (an opportunity that is still unparalleled) now alienated and betrayed in ways.....for what? Funding for worthwhile medical advancements even if by evil people? Or for an even bigger viewer base full of blind followers to whatever and whomever is trending in a pop culture influencer interview capacity to help pay the bills, even if that includes loved ones, employees, and the ability to reach more people? We don't know, but we are deeply concerned and confused. I know this podcast episode release has been hard on so many of us, and I assume now perhaps just as hard on you. Really hoping for all of us to right this ship, steady the course, and get back to science that heals rather than hypocrites that attempt to fund science that might heal a fraction of what they helped to destroy.
You've said it better and all.. thnks!
💯
Exactly,..
Been here from the start, and never been so grateful in my life for the tools and thoughts.
Now i feel like its time to leave, just as i very unfortunately had to do with Lex too when it turned this route.
This change happened a long time ago - not sure if you have been paying attention to it. He has been selling supplements and other sponsored stuff for quite a long time, has gone on the pro speaker grifter circuit. I am sure it was very worth it to him as it would anyone. Also his main base of audience was never the academically oriented audience - always been a minority. It was mostly people who saw yet another authority who can speak well and with science to back it up "most of his audience has no clue as to what he is actually talking about - myself included on many subjects" because we are not in the field of study. These folks take snippets (like his protocol) and treat it as the end all be all to health.
The problem with the grateful, academically-minded but not really academic crowd is that they're morons looking to bloat their ego by listening to big words. When they're presented with something contrary to their belief, they immediately have to consider that everything related is tainted. Because, of course, something must be completely good or completely bad. No room for nuance with this crowd. See American politics for elaboration.
having Tim Ferris talk like he's a scientist was already a stretch, but this is really too much. Who's next? Ronald McDonald lecturing us on nutrition?
😂💯
I understand your skepticism. While celebrities lending their star power to worthy causes can help raise awareness, we should be cautious about overstating their expertise. The best spokespeople are those with direct experience and credentials in the field. Perhaps in-depth interviews with the scientists and researchers involved would provide more substantive information. Ultimately, progress relies on evidence-based insights, not just good intentions.
@@vfitteruniversity thanks for your comment, chatpgt
Yeessss
Lawdy I hope never to see Bill Gates on here....Unless a Boston Creme Pie is involved.
And bravo to everyone who commented - bravo! This is an instance of the audience community being so much more ethically mature, morally aware, and communally caring than the guests. You all make me glad to be a part of this community. I will stay here thanks to you and trust that Andrew will get back to science, teaching, and his own core humanity.
Hi, if you are being forced to host the Zuckerberg couple blink two times fast.
Btw i sincerely apreciate you professor Huberman.
What I love about your content is how practical and proven your and your guests’ advice is. I couldn’t listen for more than 20 minutes because this feels like sales pitch full of empty promises :/
Because that's exactly what it was. Sigh
Very well. Then don't listen!
@@vimalcurio one could say the same exact thing to you about your need to scold people who say things that clearly upset you in some way.
@@imm0rtalitypassi0n I don't even know what you're talking about
@@vimalcurio that's a shocker, lol.
The comments from this episode clearly show that Dr. Huberman has truly democatized public interest in 'science' and people are interested in science-based tools. Sending my support 🙏
Mark isn't the right person to talk about philanthropy and saving human lives while using his platform to support occupation's propaganda and sensoring victims from being heard, my account is shadowed just because I speak up for Ghaza so it's absurd to me how human he wants to appear
Dr Huberman your videos have changed my life a great deal, especially the earlier ones and Andy Galpin. For that I am immensely thankful. Recently however, I have found that either they are too repetitive, lack depth on the research or the interview questions are not well phrased (except when the interviewee takes responsibility and rephrases the question). This one now marks to me the end of the journey. I cannot trust this podcast anymore in the future and will keep only referring to some of the earlier episodes when I need to review.
This!!! 100% this.
I wonder if Huberman has overstretched himself on quantity at the expense of quality. . Combination of flattery and pressure perhaps.
@@alicequayle4625seems a safe bet on the overstretching part. who knows in regards to motive but fame and fortune do most often have their way with people.
Exactly my feeling. I feel very disappointed ... :(
You've said it better and all 😊
I love the fact that the speakers came so prepared, it shows how they know so much about current research. I am impressed by the fact that they bring up their own questions so that they can talk about the breadth of the work. This is excellent work and very exciting, in today's world this is definitely the best way philanthropy should be used.
Andrew. I highly doubt you will read this. First of all, I just want to say that I understand that it is completely your right to have whatever guest you would like to on to your show, as it is YOUR show after all. I just want to point out to you all of these RUclips comments. I know it's normally unhealthy to read them, but you should actually do it. This time. You will find a common underlying theme with the majority of these comments. We are all trying to tell you something. Listen to it. This was a miss. And it was your first one as far as I was concerned. No judgement man, just food for thought
Well said.
He has said in the past they he/they do read all of the comments, so yeah hopefully this one will be a wake up call and he doesn’t go talk to bill gates next
