All these things seem like very distinct senses to you, but they\u2019re all made of exactly the same stuff, which is these electrochemical spikes. And so I got really interested in this idea of could we feed information into the brain via an unusual source, and would the brain just figure it out?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Eagleman<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe experience lots of data. When you\u2019re a kid, when you\u2019re a baby, you don\u2019t know how the heck to use your eyes or ears or whatever. You\u2019re just getting all this data going into the darkness there and you figure stuff out. You figure out correlations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Eagleman<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cMemory is a myth-making machine, and we\u2019re constantly reinventing our past, especially as we tell the stories over and over again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Eagleman<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI think the notion of how plastic the brain actually is is something that\u2019s totally underappreciated. There\u2019s an idea that I think many people have, which is, \u201cOh, you\u2019re just born with the brain. The brain unpacks and then you\u2019re who you are,\u201d but really, we are totally functions of our culture and our society. And one of the things that\u2019s amazing to me is, imagine, Tim, that you and I were born 10,000 years ago, exactly the same DNA, but we wouldn\u2019t be anything like what we are now. Even though with the same DNA we might look vaguely like we do now, but my God, the culture, everything we\u2019re pulling in would be so different. And that\u2019s what actually shapes a human being.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Eagleman<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe beauty of science is that it\u2019s always willing to knock down its own walls.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Eagleman<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cQuestion your truth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 David Eagleman<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PEOPLE MENTIONED<\/h3>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related and Recommended<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/tim.blog\/podcast\"><strong>The Tim Ferriss Show<\/strong><\/a> <\/em><span>is one <\/span>of the most popular podcasts in the world with more than 900 million downloads.
