How Does Andrew Huberman Want Useful Tools to Spread?

From the episode: #521: Dr. Andrew Huberman — a Neurobiologist on Optimizing Sleep, Performance, and Testosterone

Andrew Huberman says his one request follows a laboratory saying, and he notes the saying is certainly not unique to laboratories: watch one, do one, teach one. What would gratify him most is if people find tools they find useful, learn about them, do them, apply them in their own life, and modify them if they like. In his view, the world works best when people go on to teach the tools.

Watch one is the learning. Do one is the practice: people apply a tool in their own life and change it when they want to. Teach one is the step after that. Attribution is not required. Huberman says he was not consulted at the design phase, and he does not know anyone else who was either, so mother nature and biology deserve the credit.

If people learn, practice, and teach, he likes to think the world can improve by virtue of sharing tools.
