So just have an acid trip.

Yeah, I think there just there wouldn't need to be a plot and there wouldn't need to be necessarily.

Yeah.

Connections to motor neurons and then severing those connections so that you don't actually act it out and hurt yourself in your sleep.

That requires a lot of engineering.

Yeah, and it's not really schadenfreude, right?

It's not like, oh, I'm glad this happened to this person.

Again, like with the car wreck, you're not happy it's happening to them.

It's just that we compare ourselves to every other person that we see and know.

That's why Instagram kind of sucks because people are like curating their lives to be perfect.

And so when you go on there, you're like, oh my God, my life sucks compared to this person who has all these things going on.

When we watch a horror movie, we're typically watching someone who's having the worst day of their life.

And almost always whatever's happening to us pales in comparison to that.

So it's kind of just a nice reality check.

You're right.

School stuff sucks.

Work sucks, whatever.
