Hey bud, good stuff. I love JP's monster quote as well - harmless is not virtuous, it's tied into the same idea as moderation and self-control. You take a smoker and drop them off on a deserted island for a week, they didn't quit smoking, they were just out of cigarettes, it's not the same thing.
I do love the diversity of topics you do your videos on. Some youtubers do the same kinda thing over again and it gets boring. I like that you mix it up!
it's awesome u did some BJJ (are you still taking classes?). I think everyone should earn at least their blue belt =P. And esp. since you're going into psychiatry. . .i dunno, me personally, i feel SO much more confident knowing I can physically handle myself as a nurse if a patient comes at me and that I can do it in a way that minimizes harm to the patient--guaranteed that knowing BJJ immensely decreases my anxiety while working in the field.
My hubby has been doing BJJ for about three years now. The only injury he has gotten was a broken big toe. It wasn't really caused by the training, but by getting the toe stuk on a corner of a matt and twisting it (what are the odds!). BJJ is safe when you train with a great group, but accidents happen.

Awesome!
Look forward to hearing about your progression with BJJ as a doctor and future tips on how to balance training with work!

This was great! Loved following your thoughts in the ethics and utility of fighting. Thanks Dr Syl!
