We have language, we have consciousness, we have immense powers.
Those powers developed under the pressures of necessity, of having to get things done, of having to survive in a very brutal, ruthless world where a leopard could pop out tomorrow and eat me, where there were dangers all around, where food was scarce.
And under the pressure, we had to think, we had to be creative, we had to be inventive, we had to be strategic.
The human brain evolved under immense amounts of pressure.
And I almost like to think of it in terms of barometric pressure.
So in your brain, when you're feeling that barometric pressure, it's like, I got to get this done or I'm going to fail and this project won't happen and people will laugh at me.
You work like a fiend.
Energy, your whole body responds, right? Your blood gets moving.
You accomplish things that would normally take you months.
You do it in days because you feel that pressure.
You take away that pressure and you don't know what to do.
And I've got like three years I could do this or that.
You just wander around, you're lost, you have no energy, you have no focus.
So your brain needs pressure.
It needs constant pressure.
And stress and pressure is not a bad thing.
We have this thing where we feel like stress is bad.
It's bad for you.
Bad.
You know, you need to relax, man.
You need to chill.
Stress will kill you.
No, being bored will kill you.
Not having anything to do will kill you.
It's much more dangerous than stress.
