Science of Procrastination

Procrastination isn’t laziness — it’s biology.

This video breaks procrastination down to first principles, showing how your brain’s threat system, present bias, and nervous system responses drive delay. When you understand what’s really happening, you stop fighting yourself and start working with how the mind actually works.

Watch, reflect, and respond with regulation — not guilt.

This channel explores the world through *first principles* — the underlying mechanisms that shape health, behaviour, society, and meaning.

Rather than reacting to trends or headlines, each video breaks complex topics down to their foundational layers: what is actually happening, why it matters, and how systems interact beneath the surface.

Our work is organised around five core pillars:

*1. Biological First Principles*
How the human body functions beneath symptoms — metabolism, inflammation, sleep, microbiome, and longevity — examined through systems biology and evolutionary context.

*2. Psychological First Principles*
How the mind forms behaviour, identity, and suffering — including motivation, anxiety, burnout, agency, and cognitive loops — without ideology or self-help noise.

*3. Social & Relationship First Principles*
How humans bond, conflict, and cooperate — relationships, power dynamics, incentives, and modern social breakdown explained through behavioural frameworks.

*4. Systems & Civilization First Principles*
How institutions, technology, media, and economies behave — second-order effects, incentives, and structural forces shaping modern life.

*5. Meaning, Purpose & Orientation*
How individuals stay aligned in a complex world — responsibility, discipline, coherence, and direction without mysticism or motivational excess.

This is First Principles — understanding the world from the ground up.
