Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:21,526 --> 00:01:28,984
A couple of years ago, I had my third,
and hopefully last, psychotic episode.
2
00:01:37,651 --> 00:01:43,276
A state of mind where I can’t
separate fantasy from reality.
3
00:01:45,651 --> 00:01:49,026
Where I see intentions
that don't exist...
4
00:01:49,651 --> 00:01:54,276
Put things together
that don’t make sense.
5
00:01:58,026 --> 00:02:01,026
Conspiracy thoughts.
6
00:02:03,128 --> 00:02:06,045
Are you awake?
7
00:02:15,151 --> 00:02:17,276
- Now I want to dance.
- You want to dance?
8
00:02:17,526 --> 00:02:20,151
Dance, dance, dance...
9
00:02:23,901 --> 00:02:27,151
Stress and lack of sleep
put me in a frame of mind
10
00:02:27,151 --> 00:02:30,943
where I found meaning
in almost anything.
11
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:33,401
In every little detail...
12
00:02:34,151 --> 00:02:37,276
How people looked at me,
the color of their clothes,
13
00:02:37,526 --> 00:02:40,026
or the way they spoke to me.
14
00:02:40,526 --> 00:02:43,943
Anything could feel
like a covert signal,
15
00:02:43,943 --> 00:02:48,401
or coded message
meant only for me.
16
00:02:51,651 --> 00:02:55,109
I felt like society was divided
into two fractions:
17
00:02:55,109 --> 00:02:58,776
the ones who understood,
and the ones who didn't.
18
00:02:59,776 --> 00:03:02,776
I was sure I was being followed,
and bugged.
19
00:03:03,151 --> 00:03:05,276
I hid in my apartment.
20
00:03:05,776 --> 00:03:08,026
I heard seagulls
outside my window
21
00:03:08,026 --> 00:03:13,526
and thought they were
flying surveillance robots.
22
00:03:15,026 --> 00:03:19,318
The flashing light from the smoke alarm
signaled to me what I should do,
23
00:03:19,318 --> 00:03:22,401
when to lie still or get up.
24
00:03:25,443 --> 00:03:28,568
It became my reality.
25
00:03:30,526 --> 00:03:36,026
An experience of the world just as real
as my current one.
26
00:04:03,401 --> 00:04:06,651
I have just started writing
my fourth solo album.
27
00:04:07,401 --> 00:04:10,901
It feels like the natural continuation
of what I usually write about.
28
00:04:11,276 --> 00:04:16,901
Texts about our place in the cosmos.
About who we are, where we are going...
29
00:04:18,276 --> 00:04:21,276
A mix of the naive and the pretentious.
30
00:04:24,651 --> 00:04:29,651
During periods of heavy stress,
I have noticed that my brain malfunctions.
31
00:04:30,276 --> 00:04:32,776
I often get "thinkos".
32
00:04:33,151 --> 00:04:35,651
Which are like thinking errors.
33
00:04:38,401 --> 00:04:42,776
I am only thinking about problems,
unable to solve them.
34
00:04:44,401 --> 00:04:49,276
As if the "problem-solving module"
in my brain is constantly on.
35
00:04:50,776 --> 00:04:54,276
Don’t have time for other things,
don’t have time for myself.
36
00:04:54,776 --> 00:04:57,734
A vicious spiral of stress,
leading to more stress,
37
00:04:57,734 --> 00:05:01,068
leading to action paralysis.
38
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:13,040
WHAT THE FUCK
ARE YOU DOING NOW?
39
00:05:59,776 --> 00:06:05,776
When I fell into a psychotic state,
it happened gradually.
40
00:06:07,276 --> 00:06:12,901
After a few sleepless nights,
my brain felt like it was stuck in a dream.
41
00:06:13,151 --> 00:06:16,651
With its own distorted logic.
42
00:06:20,026 --> 00:06:23,776
As if I had woken up
to a whole new reality.
43
00:06:24,026 --> 00:06:28,776
Absolutely convinced that everything
I thought was true, and real.
44
00:06:36,526 --> 00:06:38,859
But sometimes I think...
45
00:06:39,401 --> 00:06:43,901
How can I tell if
it's happening again?
46
00:06:45,151 --> 00:06:49,901
How can I be sure
that my experiences are real?
47
00:07:31,310 --> 00:07:37,220
A TIGER IN PARADISE

FORGET YOUR GOD
70
00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:40,401
Being in a psychotic state means
that you have a personal delusion,
71
00:10:41,401 --> 00:10:45,109
an experience of the world
that is uniquely yours,
72
00:10:45,109 --> 00:10:48,276
and that no one else understands.
73
00:10:52,151 --> 00:10:56,401
But if you share a delusion
with a large group of people...
74
00:10:56,651 --> 00:10:59,526
it's no longer called psychosis.
75
00:11:00,151 --> 00:11:06,526
It can be called conviction,
faith, or belief.

♪ "Dude" ♪
85
00:11:51,651 --> 00:11:56,109
Currently, about 6.5 billion people
on Earth
86
00:11:56,109 --> 00:12:02,401
believe in some form of God,
creator or supernatural power.
87
00:12:03,901 --> 00:12:09,151
85-90% of the world's population
are convinced of that.
88
00:12:13,401 --> 00:12:16,651
That is an overwhelming majority...
89
00:12:17,151 --> 00:12:20,651
that shares a similar worldview.
90
00:12:24,151 --> 00:12:27,568
So if I don't belong to that majority,
91
00:12:27,693 --> 00:12:30,151
does that mean I'm wrong?
92
00:12:32,276 --> 00:12:37,776
And that I still live with a skewed
perception of reality?
93
00:13:09,859 --> 00:13:15,026
I have decided to never
become mentally ill again.
94
00:13:16,776 --> 00:13:18,734
I track my vitals
95
00:13:18,734 --> 00:13:23,526
and follow scientifically based
routines to prevent a recurrence.
96
00:13:24,776 --> 00:13:28,276
To keep my brain
and body in shape.
97
00:13:40,151 --> 00:13:44,026
I start every day
with a large glass of water.
98
00:13:45,401 --> 00:13:50,276
I fast 12 to 14 hours
almost every day.
99
00:13:51,151 --> 00:13:53,401
I drink smoothies with lots of fiber.
100
00:13:53,651 --> 00:13:58,026
I only drink coffee in the morning
and never after lunch.
101
00:14:02,651 --> 00:14:05,776
I run in a forest environment
several times a week.
102
00:14:06,151 --> 00:14:09,151
I breathe through my nose
as much as possible.
103
00:14:10,318 --> 00:14:13,484
I do high-intensity interval training,
104
00:14:13,734 --> 00:14:16,526
morning stretches, and walk a lot.
105
00:14:21,276 --> 00:14:23,901
I take cold showers
and hot baths,
106
00:14:24,026 --> 00:14:27,401
which produce cold-shock
and heat-shock proteins.
107
00:14:28,776 --> 00:14:31,193
I follow guided meditations
108
00:14:31,401 --> 00:14:34,484
and take naps
if I don't get a full night's sleep.
109
00:14:34,776 --> 00:14:37,984
I do breathing exercises
and special thought exercises,
110
00:14:38,109 --> 00:14:40,526
inspired by stoicism.
111
00:14:44,401 --> 00:14:49,151
I also track my activity, breathing,
body temperature and sleep,
112
00:14:49,276 --> 00:14:52,276
with a ring,
with a lot of sensors.
113
00:14:59,401 --> 00:15:02,484
A lack of sleep makes
all mental illness worse,
114
00:15:02,484 --> 00:15:05,109
so I track my deep sleep
and REM sleep,
115
00:15:05,109 --> 00:15:08,693
and how food, nutrients,
light conditions and activity
116
00:15:08,693 --> 00:15:11,943
improves or impairs
my sleep quality.
117
00:15:12,651 --> 00:15:15,859
I also measure
my heart rate variability;
118
00:15:16,068 --> 00:15:20,276
variations in time
between each individual heartbeat.
119
00:15:21,151 --> 00:15:23,901
All to keep track of my stress level.
120
00:15:24,276 --> 00:15:28,401
And to feel good.
And live a long life.
121
00:15:29,401 --> 00:15:32,526
That is the setting I use
on my health app,
122
00:15:33,026 --> 00:15:35,151
the "Long Life" setting.
123
00:15:49,651 --> 00:15:52,443
I am 43 years old now,
124
00:15:52,776 --> 00:15:57,151
and have lived
about half of my natural lifespan.
125
00:16:00,776 --> 00:16:03,526
According to a measurement
called Micromorts,
126
00:16:03,526 --> 00:16:07,026
which measures the risk
of dying during various activities,
127
00:16:07,151 --> 00:16:12,901
I have 6 Micromorts
risk of dying,
128
00:16:13,026 --> 00:16:16,026
just by getting out of bed.
129
00:16:17,276 --> 00:16:21,443
1 Micromort means that you have
a one-in-a-million chance of dying
130
00:16:21,443 --> 00:16:25,109
while performing
a certain activity.
131
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,151
Riding a bike has 1 Micromort.
132
00:16:29,526 --> 00:16:32,318
Skydiving has 10 Micromorts,
133
00:16:32,318 --> 00:16:33,651
per jump.
134
00:16:33,859 --> 00:16:37,901
Just a little more dangerous
than running a marathon, which has 7.
135
00:16:38,276 --> 00:16:40,401
Swimming in the sea has 12.
136
00:16:40,651 --> 00:16:45,651
And just getting out of bed
as a 90-year old, has 463.
137
00:16:45,901 --> 00:16:50,943
Almost as dangerous as your first day of life,
as a newborn baby,
138
00:16:51,151 --> 00:16:54,526
which has 460 Micromorts.
139
00:16:57,318 --> 00:17:01,484
It’s kind of funny how
we relate to risk.
140
00:17:02,526 --> 00:17:08,818
Most of us don't really worry about
the dangers we face every day...
141
00:17:09,609 --> 00:17:13,443
Instead we worry about
really unlikely dangers.
142
00:17:13,651 --> 00:17:15,526
Like shark attacks,
143
00:17:15,651 --> 00:17:18,526
which only has 0.5 Micromorts.
144
00:17:19,318 --> 00:17:23,151
Or ghosts,
which have zero.
145
00:18:16,776 --> 00:18:18,526
No.
146
00:18:22,276 --> 00:18:23,776
No.
147
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,359
No.
148
00:18:26,651 --> 00:18:27,651
Go away!
149
00:18:27,776 --> 00:18:28,401
Away!
150
00:18:28,776 --> 00:18:30,109
Away, away, away!
151
00:18:31,651 --> 00:18:32,651
No, no!
152
00:18:57,180 --> 00:19:04,180
DOGMATIC TRIBES
STUCK IN A LOCAL MINIMUM
153
00:19:12,776 --> 00:19:17,984
In almost all religions there
is belief in an afterlife.
154
00:19:18,401 --> 00:19:22,026
It is the largest common denominator.
155
00:19:23,151 --> 00:19:27,651
This idea obviously provides comfort
and hope...
156
00:19:27,901 --> 00:19:31,651
no matter how unrealistic it is.
157
00:19:34,151 --> 00:19:38,026
But, I might be engaging in
a similar type of wishful thinking
158
00:19:38,151 --> 00:19:41,526
with my faith in longevity research,
159
00:19:41,651 --> 00:19:46,484
which has been able to double
the lifespan of mice, and other animals,
160
00:19:46,484 --> 00:19:51,651
if I believe that it would have
the same result in humans.
161
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:53,980
WORSE - BETTER
162
00:19:56,776 --> 00:20:02,151
I think a lot about ideas that stick...
163
00:20:02,484 --> 00:20:08,318
and our tendency not to change our minds
even when presented with new facts.
164
00:20:08,651 --> 00:20:13,276
And about getting stuck in patterns.
165
00:20:15,026 --> 00:20:21,401
I try to avoid that,
even though Hannele says I do it all the time
166
00:20:21,526 --> 00:20:27,026
and points out that I get caught up
in my special interests...
167
00:20:30,026 --> 00:20:33,526
And that I am bad at small talk...
168
00:20:34,276 --> 00:20:37,526
And bad at following the group...
169
00:20:37,776 --> 00:20:39,526
so to speak.
170
00:20:41,776 --> 00:20:44,401
I read up on...
171
00:20:44,526 --> 00:20:48,776
existential threats to humanity.
172
00:20:50,026 --> 00:20:53,026
Have you heard of "nuclear winter"?
173
00:20:55,526 --> 00:20:56,776
Mm-hmm.
174
00:20:57,901 --> 00:21:00,651
"Mhm" as in yes
or "Mhm" as in no?
175
00:21:00,776 --> 00:21:03,026
I mean, you have talked about it before.
176
00:21:03,151 --> 00:21:05,651
- Have I?
- Yes. You have.
177
00:21:05,651 --> 00:21:09,276
I guess I am a bit hung up
on that topic right now.
178
00:21:10,026 --> 00:21:11,651
I mean, there is...
179
00:21:12,151 --> 00:21:13,943
"nuclear winter"...
180
00:21:14,276 --> 00:21:16,026
"synthetic pandemic"...
181
00:21:16,151 --> 00:21:19,193
Meaning, someone creating a virus
182
00:21:19,193 --> 00:21:21,901
that causes a pandemic.
183
00:21:22,026 --> 00:21:23,776
"Natural pandemic"...
184
00:21:27,276 --> 00:21:29,693
Then... "artificial intelligence..."
185
00:21:29,693 --> 00:21:34,943
Depending on who you ask,
some rank it high, others, low.
186
00:21:34,943 --> 00:21:36,151
Mhm.
187
00:21:37,151 --> 00:21:38,901
What's left?
188
00:21:39,151 --> 00:21:41,151
Then there are volcanoes...
189
00:21:41,276 --> 00:21:42,776
"Super volcanoes"...
190
00:21:45,151 --> 00:21:47,151
Comets...
191
00:21:47,276 --> 00:21:48,901
Asteroids...
192
00:21:49,026 --> 00:21:52,026
But the probability of those
is not that high.
193
00:21:52,776 --> 00:21:56,609
The main threats
are all man-made...
194
00:21:56,734 --> 00:22:00,276
so we are behind the most urgent threats.
195
00:22:01,026 --> 00:22:03,651
But you never know when...
196
00:22:03,818 --> 00:22:06,318
all hell breaks loose.
197
00:22:10,901 --> 00:22:12,818
Do you have something else
to talk about?
198
00:22:12,818 --> 00:22:14,901
Something else, fun like that?
199
00:22:15,276 --> 00:22:16,401
Yeah...
200
00:22:18,776 --> 00:22:20,401
Do you think
it's swimming sweater today?
201
00:22:20,401 --> 00:22:22,693
I mean swimming weather.
202
00:22:22,693 --> 00:22:24,693
“Swimming sweater”...
203
00:22:26,651 --> 00:22:29,151
That's when you swim in a sweater.
204
00:22:30,151 --> 00:22:34,401
- It doesn't look like it.
- No, not really.

WHAT IS YOUR DANGEROUS IDEA?
231
00:27:28,901 --> 00:27:32,651
What kind of ideas
do I get stuck on?
232
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:37,026
And can't relate clearly to?
233
00:27:39,526 --> 00:27:42,901
I know how easy we
humans can be influenced
234
00:27:43,026 --> 00:27:46,526
and that ideas that satisfy our
thirst for love,
235
00:27:46,526 --> 00:27:49,276
power, pleasure and consolation,
236
00:27:49,401 --> 00:27:53,401
tend to spread real easy,
and stick around.
237
00:27:55,234 --> 00:27:59,651
And that many of us are good
at justifying these ideas
238
00:27:59,776 --> 00:28:03,401
if they benefit us.
239
00:28:09,151 --> 00:28:11,901
I think of Laura...
240
00:28:12,026 --> 00:28:15,401
What kind of world
will she grow up in?
241
00:28:16,401 --> 00:28:19,776
What kind of ideas will she encounter?
242
00:28:21,526 --> 00:28:26,151
And how will her generation
look back on us?
243
00:28:27,026 --> 00:28:29,901
On our thoughts...
244
00:28:30,276 --> 00:28:33,026

261
00:31:26,734 --> 00:31:33,776
It's interesting to think about the fact
that your thoughts can't be 100% clear.
262
00:31:34,026 --> 00:31:37,776
That every experience,
decision and opinion
263
00:31:37,776 --> 00:31:41,920
is colored by our own
preconceived worldview.
264
00:31:48,359 --> 00:31:52,734
An example of this is the so-called
Dunning-Kruger effect,
265
00:31:52,734 --> 00:31:56,276
which means that the less you know
about something,
266
00:31:56,276 --> 00:31:59,526
the more confident you are about it.
267
00:31:59,651 --> 00:32:02,401
Confident that you got it right.
268
00:32:03,026 --> 00:32:04,359
And the other way around:
269
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:10,026
the more you know about something,
the less confident you feel.
270
00:32:12,401 --> 00:32:14,484
The more you know...
271
00:32:14,484 --> 00:32:19,151
the more you realize you don't know.
272
00:32:23,901 --> 00:32:27,609
I think about
our evolutionary preconditions...
273
00:32:27,776 --> 00:32:31,901
And all the ideas and beliefs
that we carry with us...
274
00:32:32,651 --> 00:32:35,526
How they affect our worldview,
275
00:32:35,651 --> 00:32:38,151
and our behaviour.
276
00:32:39,901 --> 00:32:44,526
How we constantly influence
and mimic each other.
277
00:32:49,651 --> 00:32:54,026
I'm reminded of what happened
in Rwanda 1994.
278
00:32:54,526 --> 00:32:59,901
Where hateful rhetoric justified
widespread genocide.
279
00:33:01,776 --> 00:33:05,901
The ruling regime spread ideas,
mainly through radio broadcasts,
280
00:33:06,026 --> 00:33:09,151
about Rwanda's minority population,
281
00:33:09,276 --> 00:33:12,901
comparing them to cockroaches
that must be exterminated,
282
00:33:13,026 --> 00:33:18,776
and playing ethno-pop full of
bloodthirsty and hateful messages.
283
00:33:19,901 --> 00:33:24,401
Almost one million people were
murdered over the span of three months.
284
00:33:24,776 --> 00:33:26,776
Neighbors killed neighbors.
285
00:33:26,776 --> 00:33:28,526
Friends killed friends.
286
00:33:28,651 --> 00:33:31,526
Relatives killed relatives.
287
00:33:39,401 --> 00:33:42,818
The main driving force behind
the conflict was the idea
288
00:33:42,818 --> 00:33:47,776
that one of the ethnic groups
was superior to the other.
289
00:33:49,401 --> 00:33:53,276
An idea that was first introduced
by Belgian colonizers
290
00:33:53,276 --> 00:33:55,859
almost 80 years earlier.

In 1976, the term "meme" was coined
to describe what is culturally copied.
311
00:36:25,609 --> 00:36:30,234
Information that is passed on
from one brain to another;
312
00:36:30,234 --> 00:36:35,151
words, gestures, customs and ideas.
313
00:36:37,401 --> 00:36:41,984
Similar to genes,
memes consist of information
314
00:36:41,984 --> 00:36:44,401
only it’s not encoded in DNA.
315
00:36:44,526 --> 00:36:50,484
They exist in patterns of
electrochemical signals in our brains.
316
00:36:51,651 --> 00:36:55,776
Memes also undergo evolution
via natural selection.
317
00:36:55,901 --> 00:36:59,734
They are sifted, changed,
developed and passed on.
318
00:37:00,526 --> 00:37:06,901
The well-adapted spread the most,
and become dominant.
319
00:37:08,526 --> 00:37:12,026
Memes can live on for generations.
320
00:37:12,276 --> 00:37:17,068
Some can start wars
or justify injustice,
321
00:37:17,276 --> 00:37:21,109
others can reduce suffering
and vulnerability.
322
00:37:24,276 --> 00:37:30,526
An infinite number of ideas,
in a never-ending battle.
323
00:37:36,776 --> 00:37:41,276
What role does music play
in such a context?
324
00:37:42,026 --> 00:37:46,109
I mean, if I have an idea that I
formulate and express,
325
00:37:46,234 --> 00:37:50,651
could it affect the massive flow
of information in any way?

00:37:51,401 --> 00:37:53,776
On a microscopic scale.
327
00:37:55,901 --> 00:37:59,484
The interaction between many
parts on a microscopic level
328
00:37:59,484 --> 00:38:04,276
can form complex structures
on the macroscopic level.
329
00:38:04,651 --> 00:38:07,651

00:38:15,568 --> 00:38:20,276
how can I be sure that what I put out
will have a positive effect?
333

THE GOOD SHOW
390
00:45:10,151 --> 00:45:13,026
Something that makes a difference...
391
00:45:14,693 --> 00:45:16,443
in the world.
392
00:45:24,026 --> 00:45:28,901
Music is good for conveying emotions,
and creating atmosphere...
393
00:45:30,234 --> 00:45:32,943
But is it any good for
expressing thoughts
394
00:45:32,943 --> 00:45:38,234
about research theories in the
social and natural sciences?
395
00:45:44,943 --> 00:45:49,359
Anyway, it's not easy to predict
what’s going to have a positive impact,
396
00:45:49,359 --> 00:45:52,026
or a negative impact.
397
00:45:56,818 --> 00:46:01,109
I'm reminded of an aid project
called PlayPump.
398
00:46:01,401 --> 00:46:06,526
A merry-go-round that was
placed in poor African villages
399
00:46:06,901 --> 00:46:10,068
and where the energy from
children playing with it
400
00:46:10,068 --> 00:46:14,609
would drive a water pump
and provide freshwater to the village.
401
00:46:15,776 --> 00:46:20,068
This project was supported
by lots of influential people
402
00:46:20,359 --> 00:46:22,651
who all wanted to do a good deed.
403
00:46:25,859 --> 00:46:29,901
The problem was that the merry-go-round
was heavy to push around
404
00:46:29,901 --> 00:46:34,109
and that the children got dizzy,
and quickly tired.
405
00:46:35,151 --> 00:46:40,026
In several cases adults began paying
children to push the merry-go-round
406
00:46:40,026 --> 00:46:43,901
or the women had
to take over the so called “play”
407
00:46:44,026 --> 00:46:47,651
to get enough water
out of the ground.
408
00:46:52,901 --> 00:46:59,401
Or when my dentist told me that
I needed to brush my teeth harder.
409
00:47:00,276 --> 00:47:03,776
When I saw him again, one year later,
410
00:47:04,026 --> 00:47:11,151
I had brushed so hard that parts
of my gums were gone, forever.
411
00:47:18,276 --> 00:47:22,401
Maybe this is why I think so
much about what I convey,
412
00:47:22,526 --> 00:47:25,776
because, even if it’s on a small scale,
413
00:47:25,776 --> 00:47:29,401
the thoughts, feelings
and ideas I put out
414
00:47:29,526 --> 00:47:33,026
have an affect on other people.
415
00:47:37,026 --> 00:47:42,526
That might also explain why it takes me
such a long time to make an album
416
00:47:42,651 --> 00:47:48,984
that the ambition to get it right,
becomes a form of obsession.

I mean, I'm not the world's best poet,
432
00:50:41,526 --> 00:50:46,901
and not particularly interested
in promoting myself as an artist.
433
00:50:50,651 --> 00:50:56,526
I simply recorded some songs
that happened to become popular.
434
00:50:58,901 --> 00:51:05,276
And then left a possible career as
a scientist, studying biochemistry...
435
00:51:06,401 --> 00:51:09,734
where I could have been part
of a larger context

some important issue.

in that humanity

481

I was hoping for that, I guess.

484

What kind of world

495
01:03:08,443 --> 01:03:14,068
As a parent, you understand why
so many of us lie to our children
496
01:03:14,068 --> 01:03:16,984
about the reality of the world.
497
01:03:17,776 --> 01:03:20,776
It's done with good intentions;
498
01:03:20,901 --> 01:03:25,234
You want to protect them

these lies introduce something in us,

of reality.

Because if we can't see reality,
we can't see the problems,
