My guest Matt and I discuss artificial intelligence and the progression of chatGPT, evolution and DNA as a 'computer code', and explore some of our experiences with depression and question whether humans have a natural tendency toward negative thinking. We talk about our autonomic nervous system (ANS) and how our lifestyle factors can influence the state of 'fight or flight'. Finally we discuss how breathing exercises can improve our physical and mental health (more episode on breathing and ANS to follow). Please rate and follow Dan's Den if you enjoyed this discussion. Thanks for checking us out, we appreciate the support!
