I’m Andrew Winkler, a former Stanford and Columbia math professor.


We’ll explore the most interesting insights I’ve come across, ranging across the mental landscape: math, science, personality, how we think and feel, and how we love or feel unloved. We’ll give answers to all the most confusing questions everyone has, have new books and authors, and reach new understandings.

  • Why Your Relationships Are Slowly Falling Apart — And How Your Love Quotient Can Save Them
    2026/06/04

    In today's episode, I'm sharing the core insights from my new book, Love Quotient: Stop Dying of Thirst in an Ocean of Love — and my goal is to give you everything you need to transform your most important relationships.


    Welcome to Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. I'm talking about one of the most painful and preventable dynamics in relationships: the slow drift that happens when two people are pouring love into a connection, but neither one can feel it. The culprit isn't a lack of caring — it's a mismatch in cognitive functions. I walk through the four core ways we process the world — sensing, thinking, feeling, and intuition — and why we each only mature some of these functions while others stay dormant. That gap is precisely where love gets lost.


    Tune in as I explore how to identify your loved one's dominant cognitive type through something as simple as their gestures or walk, and how to bridge the gap between the love you're giving and the love they actually feel. Whether you're navigating a marriage, a friendship, or a professional dynamic, this episode gives you a practical framework for turning a drifting relationship into one that deepens every day.


    In this episode, you will learn:

    (00:27) We only fully mature half of our cognitive functions in a lifetime

    (05:09) Most relationships break down because love is sent in a form the other can't perceive

    (07:45) Each cognitive function has its own unique language of love

    (08:30) Four hand gestures reveal a person's dominant cognitive type

    (13:00) The way someone walks maps to their relationship dynamic

    (19:54) Combining gesture and walk pinpoints exactly what your loved one needs

    (22:10) Attuning to your loved one triggers them to give you the love you need in return

  • How AI Really Works: Large Language Models, Human Intelligence, and the Math Behind the Magic
    2026/05/21

    What if artificial intelligence doesn't replace human intelligence — it amplifies it? And what if the quality of what you bring to AI is exactly what determines what you get back?

    Welcome to Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. I'm Andrew Winkler, and in this episode I'm taking a deep dive into one of the most consequential technologies of our time: large language models. I break down how these systems are built on surprisingly elegant mathematics, why language itself has a hidden statistical structure that makes AI possible, and what it really means for how we interact with these powerful tools.


    Tune in as I explore the neural network foundations that underpin modern AI, unpack the "garbage in, garbage out" principle in its most precise form, and reveal why the most important thing you can bring to an AI conversation is your own intelligence and curiosity.


    In this episode, you will learn:

    (00:27) Neural networks are built on elegant mathematics

    (01:15) One nonlinearity unlocks AI's power to model anything

    (02:47) Models extract signal, not just memorize data

    (04:30) Language has a hidden statistical structure AI can learn

    (08:30) AI defaults to average intelligence without strong context

    (09:03) Smarter input produces smarter AI output

    (09:45) AI amplifies human intelligence — it doesn't replace it

  • Why Mud, Logs, and Bugs Beat Plastic Toys: The Science of Proprioception and Nature-Based Play
    2026/05/07

    Welcome back to Now I Get It with Dr. Andy. I'm sitting down once again with Angela McEwen, our resident expert in early childhood development, to dig into one of the most overlooked secrets of raising healthy, capable kids — proprioception. Angela has spent decades in childcare, including helping coordinate San Francisco's childcare response during the pandemic, and what she's discovered about the role of natural play environments is something every parent and educator needs to hear.

    In this conversation, Angela shares the remarkable results from a nature-based outdoor redesign pilot program at her San Francisco preschool — and what happened blew even her away. For the first time in her career, children developed proprioceptive skills entirely on their own, without any formal instruction, simply by playing with logs, mud, and the natural world around them. We also get into why full-body sensory experiences — from jumping into pools to rolling in the dirt — matter more than flashcards or structured fine motor activities, and how giving kids a little controlled risk teaches them to trust themselves for a lifetime.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    (01:01) How animal movement games build proprioception in young children

    (02:54) Why rushing kids into formal schooling before age seven backfires

    (05:30) The nature-based playground redesign — and its surprising results

    (09:49) The Olympian study: why trampolines and full-body impact matter

    (14:57) Why peeling bark and picking berries beat fine motor activities

    (19:59) Why a little controlled stress builds lifelong resilience
