Yeah, kind of. Respect the biology, man, because we have brains. That's a good way to put it. You have to respect the biology. And this is important about everything having to do with psychology, about anything about behavioral science, is that there's such a strong biological component to it, which is why you go back just a few decades when they weren't talking about the biology very much.

They were missing a lot about this. The way that I teach this is that all the interesting questions come from philosophy and ancient wisdom. or even modern wisdom. Ah, there it is. Got the name of the show. There it is. There you go. Then you talk about the biology to understand mechanism of action. And then you talk about behavioral science to get the data.

And then you talk about management science such that you can actually use it. So it goes one, two, three, four, all the way through. And this is an entirely multidisciplinary understanding of human life. But if you skip one of those stages, you're going to miss the boat. If you don't know any neuroscience, you can't be a good behavioral scientist.

If you don't know any behavioral science, then your neuroscience won't mean anything. It's not practical. Yeah, exactly right. And so this is a lot of what I wind up teaching is for my students to respect their own biology and respect the biology of other people and manage their lives accordingly.
