Robert Sapolsky, a famous neuroscientist who teaches at Stanford, says:
“You have two humans, and they are taking part in some human ritual.
They are sitting there silently at a table. They make no eye contact;
they’re still, except every now and then one of them does nothing more
taxing than lifting an arm and pushing a little piece of wood. And if
it’s the right wood and the right chess grand masters in the middle of
a tournament, they are going through 6,000 to 7,000 calories a day
thinking, turning on a massive physiological stress response simply
with thought and doing the same thing with their bodies as if they were
some baboon who has just ripped open the stomach of their worst rival,
and it’s all with thought, and memories and emotions. And suddenly
we’re in the realm of taking just plain old nuts and bolts physiology
and using it in ways that are unrecognizable.”
6-7 thousand calories! wow. Think of how much fat you burn and how many calories you lose while thinking on THINQon. I think I'll skip running today.
