From that reading do you have any advice, what can we do to improve our gut and health ?
I agree, not everybody will or can do it. I actually enjoy science, but I found out that I'm not enough good to do something meaningfull.
He means not important for the political and economical system, not literary useless.
One line that stuck out for me: "To the best of our scientific knowledge, human life has no meaning."
Maybe the meaning of life should be to improve our scientific knowledge. By understanding more deeply the nature, the universe that we live in and how the brain works, we could answer better this question.
Maybe just for the woman
It explains why being anxious or having low self-esteem is unattractive.
Is not the problem misdiagnoses? There are a lot of conditions that mimic ADHD, I think the problem is that a lot of diagnosis are not thorough enough.
In the ted talk, he doesn't explain why this is not just a correlation. Maybe there is something else that makes you happy and makes one better at having relationships. For exemple, someone who has anxiety disorder will not be good with relationships and most probably will be unhappy. But the root cause of unhappines is anxiety.
I think what you are missing is the fact that this time the changes will take place much faster. With farming, the changes were slower and generational.(The children of farmers didn't do farming). And still these changes had colossal impact on societies(and a lot of blood was spilled).
And Terrence Tao who is quated was also extremely good at olympiads. As I see it, the olympiads are a good cost-effective way of identifying talented kids, they are in a way just IQ tests.
I think what you call it is more complex. As I can see there are three important capacitities: attention to details, working memory and iq (capacity to see patterns, what is tested in iq tests). In my experience they are all important, I'm pretty bad at the first two, and this makes me miserable in my job.
What if one's slow is someone else's fast ?
Maybe another important aspect is how the growth is shared ?
One more thing is emotional health, it's already pretty known that exercise helps with anxiety and depression. But I disagree about your assertion about intelligence, I think it plays a huge role in academic success.
Take care with your ideology(for you it's seems it's a religion), that's all I can say to you.
Why it is necessary evil ? You don't live alone in this world and I bet you profited enormously from the country, community that you live in.
Did you at least read the article ? He writes about replacing the current welfare system with UBI.
About the taxes, I think you are wrong because you think in black and white. It's not binary, it's a spectrum and you want to have a balance, in USA the current system is very favorable to the rich.
At the same time some people are just more neurotic(and genetics has a big role), it's not so simple
Apparently it is still strong on a single machine https://twitter.com/demishassabis/status/708489093676568576
Well... they don't say what makes some people happy...
Maybe the mental health conditions are the cause of bad sleep?
Thank you, english is not my native language.
May be I needed to be more clear. Of course there can be variations, but the maximal potential iq is static throughout life and we can't change it. Good nutrition, good environement will help someone achieve it, I don't know about exercise.

I don't think you know a lot about iq.
Today there is no way to increase your iq. Exercise may improve your attention, emotion regulation, reduce stress.
For exemple, the family and the envirennement, the support of the family is very important...
And I would say that raw talent means a lot, the majority of atheles work hard, but the deciding factor is talent.
"Sports are 100% meritocracies" - that's just very false, genetics and where you come from play a huge role.
May I ask what european country and why ?
In the book "ADHD Does not Exist" Richard Saul describes Neurochemical Diststractibility/Impulsivity(what we call adhd) of two types : low serotoning group and high level epinephrine/norepinephrine group. "The two types described show subtly different symptom patterns.The low-serotonin group tends to look like what people think of when they think of the disorder called ADHD. The high epinephrine/norepinephrine group is "consistent in its inconsistency". Sometimes these patiens can concentrate well, and sometimes they can't." Maybe this is related to what you say, I see it myself, somedays my brain just works better, I never understood why.
