So it's like, obviously, that's not going to trigger much.
I think the real takeaway is that I have an amygdala, and it works.
You know what I mean?
Because I think if the results had shown that I was missing my amygdala, then I would have died already at youth because I wouldn't be able to function as a human, basically.
But had it shown something like that where there are structural differences or some real change, but this is basically just showing that after 20 years of conditioning, I respond differently than an average person.
And you're like, yeah, no kidding.
If you put a monk into an fMRI, their brain responds totally differently than an average person as well.
Totally.
Yeah, you should do the fMRI.
Yeah, you should have done 10 years ago because then you'd have your control.
And then you do it now and it'd be totally different.

Like I was always so afraid of public speaking.
I was also very shy and like just not like it was terrifying.
And now because of the free solo film tour and, you know, all the public things I've done since then, I'm like basically fine.
You know, so you still got a little nervous, but it's like basically easy now.
You're kind of like, well, that's a total change.
It's like obviously there's a tremendous capacity for humans to learn.
Yeah, well, I think that everyone's like, what's your hack to overcome fear?
And you're like, there's no hack.
