He's not lecturing anymore, but he stills makes educational content/series . He has 3 scientific series (The Power of Reason, Rational Mind and In Depth) and 4 fitness series (Exercise Anatomy, A week of workouts, Workout theory, Strength science). This man truly is the epitome of "a healthy mind in a healthy body". These shows are basically Patreon funded, so you can support him there if you'd like (he also does monthly live streams for patrons). As an "appetizer", here's the first episode of The Power of Reason. Pay attention to Dr. Boselli, everyone: the class is in session!

Here's the "Gorilla Experiment" he mentioned (reference: The Invisible Gorilla ):


Also, here's a good reference about the representativeness heuristic (The Decision Lab also has a section dedicated just to cognitive biases), and an article about the "Linda, the bank teller" case (the reference is Tversky and Kahneman (1983) ) .

One thing he mentioned in passing (but it's important to highlight): intuitive thinking (snap judgement) isn't always bad, since there are times you just need to make a decision quickly (certain survival situations, for example), and in those cases rational thinking isn't an option (since it requires time). Another thing he didn't mention is that avoiding the conjunction fallacy (recognizing that less restrictive statements have higher probability) is pretty much what leads to Occam's razor (a hypothesis with fewer assumptions is more likely to be correct), which is a principle that guides scientific thinking.

Oh, and was it just me or did anyone else think about "washboard abs" when he said the word "wash" at 12:46? I guess that is also an example of the representativeness heuristic, because my mind was "primed to the idea" (13:35) of washboard abs because I was looking at him the whole time :laughing:

And I guess it should be obvious by now, but it still deserves a statement: damn, what a brain!

I wish I could make sweet, sweet love to your brain. Will you marry me?

Pietro should stop lifting to much heavy weights, what if his balls bursts from doing such activity...

If he wants to finish on 225 pounds, I'm here...
Not ripe enough, 1000 pounds is the prefered weight in my opinion for Pietro to lift up with all his might, then we'll know if he'll burst his balls~

Super hot indeed. I even like him more than Pietro himself. His bulge is to die for... It looks so loaded, but I CANNOT possibly find out his identity anywhere... Plsss help.
I'm sure someone here will ID him sooner or later :heart_eyes:
