But until it happens and the variety of temperature changes over the course of the seasons is just too vast for what we understand as biological life to survive. But then – or at least intelligent – It's not just biological. It has to be intelligent. It has to be able to manipulate its environment. It has to be able to record the previous thoughts in history, develop language.

And it's really tough to do that if you're in an environment and you've adapted to an environment that can vary by 300 degrees.

You have to have food. You have to have food and you have to have your feet up and go, why are we here? Yeah.

exactly this is why this kind of thought emerges once people sort of settle down yep and get some food start herding some cattle and go hey stars are kind of crazy yeah you ever looked up instead everybody's just looking in the bushes for what's going to kill them what's going to eat me you know it's funny i've spent a lot of time watching animals they don't look at the sky oh that's interesting it is interesting that is very interesting that's very interesting

Well, we look outward and we look inward, which is really like next level, right? Like we look at microscopes and go, what is going on here?

We're all filled with bacteria. This whole thing is nuts. Like we're not even an individual. Right. We're an ecosystem. We're individual ecosystems. And the healthier your ecosystem is, the healthier you are as an individual because you're not really an individual.

What is the difference?

Hmm. But what about medication for people that have like type one diabetes?

But it's a genetic thing.

They might have and just died off.

They might have and just died off.

They might have and just died off.

Right.

So you think there's an environmental reason for type one diabetes?

100%.

Which is just madness. So the reductionist view of just give them a shot of this and a pill of that, like, well, there's a lot more going on here.

Staple it back together again. Right.

Right. The problem is we want you to be hooked on a medication because then we can prescribe that to everybody, and then you have the Sackler family.

That's a good point. And the problem is... Right now it is. And so we have to figure out how to regain control of that.

Yeah, which is more important because those doctors believed it. They thought that it was true. I was just talking to a doctor recently that regretted taking it, and they really believed. Yeah. They believed. They believed they were telling people what to do, and now they're injured. Yeah.
