Human Blue Teaming (Learning to patch the vulnerabilities in ourselves)

The Hacker Mentality is applied to technology with fervor. Take a thing, learn how it works, make it do cool things, bend it to your will. Yet in other areas, we take things at face value and not question them. We need to learn to apply the line of thinking we have for technology to solve our other issues. The talk is an attempt to give a overview of the journey I have been on for the past few years to identify my issues (depression, anxiety, overweight, self esteem), learn about the topics, dig through the garbage, learn to question everything that has been documented, and then apply it to where it mattered, myself. The point of the talk isn’t to give any mind blowing revelations on how to solve anything, rather to try to say that the only person who can solve the problems are those with the problems. I plan to share random facts that I have picked up during my investigations into mental health, physical health and other topics, talk about my obsessive metrics gathering/biomining and hopefully inspire others to take an educational journey of their own.
