  1. Nicholas EpleyMixedMay 18, 2026· Huberman Lab Essentials

    Texting maintains relationships but is less effective than phone conversation for building them.

    “It is not good for building a relationship necessarily over time. Like, if we're going to spend a half hour typing to each other, it's not a good way to spend that half hour. I'd be much better at picking the phone and talking to you to help establish that relationship.”

  2. Erich JarvisMixedApr 23, 2026· Huberman Lab Essentials

    Texting changes speech-related abilities rather than reducing them.

    “Texting is not decreasing the speech prowess or the intellectual prowess of speech. It's converting it and using it a lot in a different way”
