We are dipping our toes into the bio-cast style of discussions. What do you know about the scientist behind the classic(cal) experiment with teaching dogs to salivate to a bell? Starting out as a religious man, Pavlov eventually made is way to science. From there, he worked in biology, only accidentally contributing one of the most ground-breaking studies of all time to psychology.Links for Today:Original Footage of Pavlov w/ Dogs….brought to you by Philip Zimbardohttps://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/1904/pavlov/biographical/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/24/droolhttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/bhpavl.htmlhttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/eventindex.htmlWe are on Reddit! https://www.reddit.com/user/WhyWeDoWhatWeDo RecommendationsAbraham: John Oliver (https://www.hbo.com/last-week-tonight-with-john-oliver)Shane: Winter Park Biscuit Company (https://www.winterparkbiscuitco.com/menu)You can reach us directly at 775.525.0908, at info@wwdwwdpodcast.com, through the comments below OR on social via @wwdwwdpodcast or #wwdwwdpodcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/why-we-do-what-we-do--3419521/support.

Humans have been engineering strategies to reduce the risks of life for as long as humans have been engineering everything. As it relates to addiction, harm reduction is a stragegy that emerged to help prevent the spread of disease and has been successfully applied to supporting people with chemical dependency. We explore the criticisms, concerns, and science behind harm reduction. RecommendationsAbraham: Cocaine Bear (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14209916/)Shane: Charles Bukowski - Hollywood (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38505.Hollywood)Bonus: National Harm Reduction Coalition (https://harmreduction.org/)Links: https://youtu.be/Llm5vVybJWw?si=MtwfI2gl_ZYq_mulhttps://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/harm-reductionhttps://www.hhs.gov/overdose-prevention/https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/harm-reductionhttps://harmreduction.org/about-us/principles-of-harm-reduction/https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0306460396000421https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02791072.2001.10400463https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0196064420313871https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-021-06904-4https://academic.oup.com/smr/article-abstract/10/1/3/6880246https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0230886https://accp1.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jcph.1937https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16203323/Walley AY, Xuan Z, Hackman HH, et al.

Mini: Why We Lottery

The saga continues as we explore the historical policy blunder that was the "War on Drugs." What lead to the development of this idea? We review the distinction between what was stated and what actually happened, and, of course, who won the war? spoiler it was drugs. RecommendationsAbraham: Speechify App (https://speechify.com/?source=fb-for-mobile&via;=nguyen-linh-nam&gad;_source=1&gclid;=Cj0KCQjwiMmwBhDmARIsABeQ7xRZ-vEPaqs8c7IAr7jeYUXdDNtP0Wgtf92Chyk99jyGJIJ9V8rSv1QaAtWbEALw_wcB)Shane: Amber Brooke Farms (https://amberbrookefarms.com/blueberry-festival/?gad_source=1&gclid;=Cj0KCQjwiMmwBhDmARIsABeQ7xR6jxy-33SjkhqahM3-YTrIh3z-c_FCR06EM3mfz9EAH1FvdLQtTFQaAuB5EALw_wcB) Links and References: https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/archive/special/9712/ch01p1.htmhttps://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/big-white-lie-cia-and-cocainecrack-epidemichttps://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/drugs/special/cia.htmlhttps://enditforgood.com/content/50th-anniversary-of-war-on-drugs-it-never-worked-different-approach-needed/?gad_source=1&gclid;=CjwKCAjwnv-vBhBdEiwABCYQA7Yhc5ZPj339VVFmO9fUz9zl41doaebUygZeBcV8DjPpe1oUcuLykxoC6p8QAvD_BwEhttps://drugpolicy.org/drug-war-stats/?ms=5J1_24GoogleGrant&utm;_source=GoogleSEM&utm;_medium=cpc&utm;_campaign=SEM&sc;=&cid;=7011K000001tKzkQAE&gad;_source=1&gclid;=CjwKCAjwnv-vBhBdEiwABCYQA2Kns_vgVsD_DDHjq1R4xdIuy6j8gKrWRcCowl1mY0qFXrhlz2wCqxoCbyUQAvD_BwEhttps://cdn.penalreform.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PRI_war-on-drugs-briefing_March-2013.pdfhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9302017/https://civilrights.org/blog/americas-war-on-drugs-50-years-later/https://www.npr.org/2021/06/17/1006495476/after-50-years-of-the-war-on-drugs-what-good-is-it-doing-for-usBecome a...

Welcome to our first ever new episode format that we are trying out. These miniature episodes will be supplemental, additional episodes that we release every week alongside our normal full-length episodes. This first installment is exploring the weird tradition of people slapping peices of our flesh together to show appreciation.

Mini: Clapping

The disease model of addiction is a popular philosophical approach to dependency. The idea is to remove fault and blame from the addicted individual. Further, there are a lot of parallels between addiction and illness. However, there are some drawbacks to conceptualizing addiction as a disease. We talk through the benefits and our reservations about using the disease framework for understanding disease. RecommendationsAbraham: Cutco Knives (https://www.cutco.com/)Shane: Godzilla x Kong: New Empire (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14539740/)Links and References: https://www.hazeldenbettyford.org/research-studies/addiction-research/brain-disease-modelhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5672554/https://drugfree.org/article/is-addiction-a-disease/#:~:text=The%20disease%20model%20of%20addiction,-Addiction%20is%20defined&text;=These%20include%20behavioral%2C%20psychological%2C%20environmental,developing%20a%20substance%20use%20disorder.https://www.americanbrainfoundation.org/diseases/#:~:text=Brain%20disease%20affects%20millions%20worldwide,traumatic%20brain%20injury%2C%20and%20more.https://www.cbhic.com/post/what-are-the-three-major-models-of-addictionhttps://www.futurelearn.com/info/courses/understanding-addiction/0/steps/245163#:~:text=The%20common%20core%20assumptions%20of,is%20the%20defining%20observable%20pathology.https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/disease-model#:~:text=While%20the%20disease%20model%20was,formalized%20largely%20in%20the%201980s.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/why-we-do-what-we-do--3419521/support.
