So um you want to deploy these things strategically . Yeah , the the phrase that comes to mind is signal , the noise , you know , the nervous system , especially the dopamine system and the adrenaline system , which are a part of this larger system called the catecholamine system . So that's dopamine , epinephrine or epinephrine , the the get up and go focus on external goals , uh movement associated it and on and on that , that system responds best to high signal relative to noise .
Uh And for that reason , generally listen to something that's more of a story or don't listen to anything at all and just let my thoughts kind of spool through anyway , I don't want to take us too far off track , but I think this um idea of signal to noise will resonate with the engineers out there . But since most people are likely not engineers , it is the way that the nervous system works . Um Evidenced by the fact that whatever area of your body right now is in contact with a chair or um any other surface that's been in contact with for more than a few seconds , you forget that it's in contact with it because there's low signal , the noise at that point .

A similar note you actually mentioned stimulants basically there , whether you're talking caffeine or any other stimulant , any other cortisol modulators or adaptogen , any of these things fall in the category .

So if you're , as you point out um listening music every time drinking a ton of caffeine energy drinks , pre workout , uh new tropics and then , you know , stacking all those things .
Just let my , my brain kind of idle at a , at a low hum .
