Welcome to the Adventures in Uncertainty Podcast …
The podcast is an ever expanding STORY of the neuroscience of uncertainty … a story of exploration and expansion … and at times of a personal story into uncertainty.
My name is Beau Lotto and I’m a Neuroscientist and Founder of the Lab of Misfits.
My hope is that you’ll walk away knowing less since nothing interesting begins with knowing. It begins with not knowing.
My second hope is that going to the very place your brain evolved to avoid: Uncertainty, you’ll understand more about how and why you see what you do. Since it’s only by increasing your perceptual intelligence that you’ll be able to take agency in your own brain’s process of making sense of yourself, of others of the world around you .
Otherwise everything you do will continue to be a reflex grounded in someone else’s biases.

EPISODE 3: YOUR FEAR OF UNCERTAINTY CAN DISEMPOWER YOU
The need to be in control of one’s fate is profound. When we feel in control, our brain feels ‘empowered’. Whether in a social, behavioural, psychological or economic context, to be empowered is to feel certainty in our lives.
COVID-19 is challenging that sense of control. As a result, hundreds of millions - if not billions - of brains around the world are feeling collectively disempowered. And that sense of disempowerment is likely to be stronger for those who strongly identified with being ‘an individual’, ‘self-made’, or ‘a lone wolf’ - a common archetype in the USA (and the West in general).
