EMB local turned Stanford neuroscientist

[freddiethreepwood]

This popped up in my Youtube. Guy skated at EMB, says he was sponsored, now neuroscientist at Stanford. Tiny bit about EMB scene, one Carroll brothers reference early on, so nearly zilch about skateboarding in a v long pod but posting here in case of interest to some.

There's hope for us all.

What about the Bootleg dude that became a fucking rocket scientist?

On a related note, some guy who rode for Invisible Skateboards back in the mid-90s went on to do a PhD in engineering at Berkeley, founded a start up that worked on developing bluetooth technology, which got bought by Apple. He ended up developing Airpods (or was an integral part of that project).

You know what’s fucked up? 

When people study the brain, it’s really just a brain trying to understand itself.  But it’s so mysterious that it itself doesn’t know what the fuck it’s doing.

And right now my brain is thinking about some other brain that’s thinking about itself.

And now the brain of whoever is reading this is thinking about my brain thinking about someone else’s brain which is thinking about itself.

🤯

Did he quit though?

Did he quit though?

Read this as "Did he quit thought?"
