Mariana Calenda and food for the brain

Mariana Calenda is a biochemist and a biotechnologist that left the Pharma industry to dedicate herself to the most noble of the causes: to release the brain from the slavery of malnutrition.

In this episode we talk about oOpting to live in the challenging country where we were born, how algorithms are killing creativity and how to unlock the power of our brains. 

I really enjoyed talking to Mariana and I hope you will enjoy the conversation too

Key take aways

1. I choose to live in a challenging environment of argentina because of the benefits of family and friends
2. Marketing already uses our brain mechanisms to manipulate us (convince us that we want a pizza)
3. Algorithms that predict what we want are creativity killers that takes us in the opposite direction of creativity
4. I've always been a nerd and I always enjoyed studying. Learning something new always gave me a lot of satisfaction
5. The brain cannot be free if the brain is not feed. Algorithms needs energy to work.
6. We need to contemplate. Our current way of life is making us loose things that just comes with time.
