Commune with Jeff Krasno

AI, Cognitive Overload, and Peak Performance with Steven Kotler


Listen Later

We have godlike technology running on brains that haven't had an upgrade in millions of years. In this episode, Jeff sits down with Steven Kotler, peak performance expert and founder of the Flow Research Collective, to explore how exponential technology is reshaping our minds, our food systems, and the planet.


Drawing on his new book with Peter Diamandis, We Are As Gods, Steven explains why so many of us feel overwhelmed, why he's most hopeful about the planet's wild places, and how flow states can restore focus and creativity in the age of AI.

  • Why technological change went from linear to exponential
  • Information overload, cognitive overload, and burnout
  • How flow restores focus, creativity, and lateral thinking
  • Cultured meat, vertical farming, and rewilding the planet
  • Truth filters and first-principle thinking for the attention economy
  • Finding meaning and purpose as AI reshapes work
  • This episode is for anyone who feels stretched thin by technology and wants practical tools to think clearly, perform better, and reclaim their attention.
