Dr. Sanjay Gupta and neuroscientist Baroness Susan Greenfield, Oxford University professor and author of “Mind Change: How Digital Technologies Are Leaving Their Mark on Our Brains,” discuss and debate how screen time might be impacting our human connections and own cognitive abilities. Plus, Greenfield gives us three ways to reclaim our digital independence. 'Because of my age, I'm used to hugging people and living in three dimensions and using all five senses and interpreting body language. Because of that, I feel very sad when people seem to communicate, or put a premium mainly on how many so-called friends they've got, when really the friends are like some kind of Greek chorus who comment and need to be appeased and impressed and so on. So I think I'm worried a little bit about this generation, perhaps, that are uncomfortable in face-to-face communication because it's not an easy thing to do. And, the less you do it, the more aversive it becomes.Leah recommends:Sean Illing's podcast The Gray Area takes a philosophy minded look at culture, technology and ideas. This episode asks the question: Do you have moral ambition? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gray-area-with-sean-illing/id1081584611 We’re told from a young age to achieve. Get good grades. Get into a good school. Get a good job. Be ambitious about earning a high salary or a high-status position.Some of us love this endless climb. But lots of us, at least once in our lives, find ourselves asking, "What’s the point of all this ambition?"Historian and author Rutger Bregman doesn’t think there is a point to that kind of ambition. Instead, he wants us to be morally ambitious, to measure the value of our achievements based on how much good we do, by how much we improve the world.In this episode, Bregman speaks with guest host Sigal Samuel about how to know if you’re morally ambitious, the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people, and how to make moral ambition fashionable.If you are new to Lizness School, we suggest you listen to Season 1 to hear all about Liz's year as a Stanford Fellow.

This was Liz Dolan's week on the hot seat in her law school class at Stanford. The class is The 14th Amendment. The professor is Constitutional scholar Pam Karlan. And it was Liz's turn to answer the professor's questions. How'd she do? As Meatloaf famously said, two out of three ain't bad.Also this week, Liz reports on the Stanford Longevity Project's Healthy Aging Conference. Plus, it's Top Chef Stanford! Liz has dinner at a frat and attends a cooking class for students taught by Stanford chef Andrew Mayne.
