Welcome to The Andy Bennett Experiment , where we discuss everything that can contribute to this wonderful human experience
I recently had an experience that lead me to deeply ponder what is going on within the brain when we have moments of inspiration, realisation, enlightenment, the ah-huh moment.... call it what you will.
Here i take a few moments to delve into the concept. Thank you to Jordan Harbinger and Allen Gannett for episode 67 of The Jordan Harbinger Show which helped inform this discussion

This episode is all about exploring the nature of anonymity with a little experiment. I was curious to explore how people will treat you in person when you have no idea who they are. We explore this through the frame of the Stanford Prison experiment, set some objectives and then the fun begins!

In this episode I reference Dr. Rhonda Patrick She frequently engages the public on topics including the role micronutrient deficiencies play in diseases of aging, the role of genetics in determining the effects of nutrients on a person's health status, benefits of exposing the body to hormetic stressors, such as through exercise, fasting, sauna use or heat stress, or various forms of cold exposure, and the importance of mindfulness, stress reduction, and sleep

As the first ep of The Andy Bennett Experiment it seems only right that a get a touch.... meta? Here I've had a good old ramble on social media itself and explored some ways in which it affects and shapes us. Some say social media is ruining us, some like Gary Vaynerchuk argues it's exposing what we would rather be doing. I think the subjective truth can be far more empowering than the aforementioned examples. Come along for the ramble!
