And they say, oh, yes, I would, because it's in my fingers. I say, no, you wouldn't. I can't believe they argue with you on this. It's a bold argument. I play music. I work with musicians who are brilliant, and I don't want to say anything that's going to interfere with their process. How they get there

in a way that will move me and make me remember a performance for 40 years or transform my mood for a week or more, I don't care how they get there. And so when we're talking about the bowls, if a bowl player believes that this frequency is going to have that effect, Whether it has that effect on me or not, it's having some effect.

But I do want to say there is no science at all that says that particular frequencies are associated with particular mood states or particular therapeutic things. And there's this whole pseudoscientific

nonsense about how you have to listen to 438 hertz tuned music instead of 440 or 432 it's a magic number and if you look at 432 and you multiply it it's the distance between here and the moon and it's the number of seconds that it takes the earth to revolve around the sun and it's the heartbeat of your cells or some nonsense it's no it's none of those things

But if you're going to use that as a cure for cancer instead of using medicine, you and I talked about this eight years ago or so when we were talking about my book, A Field Guide to Lies. And I remember the conversation. My recollection is that we talked about, and I think you were provoking me by using the term Western medicine. Sure. There's not two kinds of medicine.

There's not Western medicine and alternative medicine. There's just medicine. If something's been shown to work, we call it medicine. If it's not been shown to work, there are some people out there who will call it alternative medicine. But it's not an alternative. If we knew that it worked, it would not be an alternative. It would just be plain old medicine. So this is what killed Steve Jobs.

Yes. Steve Jobs got pancreatic cancer and he went to this charlatan named Dean Ornish who said, oh, I can fix that with yoga and diet. And maybe there were bowls involved. I don't know. And, you know, it killed him. He was going to die anyway, but he put all his faith in this weird thing. And when he changed his mind and saw it wasn't working, it was way too late for him to use actual treatments.

I haven't looked into this in 10 years, but I know that he didn't like what the doctors told him. Okay, that makes sense.
