You know, it's such an important question. And the first thing that comes to my mind is Exposing developing brains to pornography is so dangerous. And eight, nine, ten-year-old boys are being exposed to the Internet where they can see all sorts of pornography when their brains aren't anywhere near The ability to discern what's good, what's not good, what's healthy, what's not healthy.

And it's deadening, and I use that word purposefully, the nucleus accumbens, which is the area of your brain that produces... that responds to dopamine. So dopamine, and I know you've done podcasts on dopamine. It's the neurotransmitter that helps us with motivation, which helps us with focus, which helps us with happiness and mood. And when the nucleus accumbens gets hit,

repeatedly with pornographic images. It's like dopamine, dopamine, dopamine. It begins to deaden that area, and then you need more and more to begin to feel anything at all. That's why fame is so hard on the brain. But pornography, especially in the young, is incredibly damaging to the brain.

Especially for a developing brain. If there's any message, protect your brain until you're 25. And then your brain will protect you. But until then, your prefrontal cortex, that front third of your brain, is not fully developed, which is sort of why God gave you parents. So you supervise. It's like, oh, my teenagers hate it if I supervise them. And yeah, they hate it more if you don't.

I mean, what I've shown is, let's just take the NFL work. Big damage, right? Let's stop lying about this. Football is a brain damaging sport. And soccer as well is a brain damaging sport. So high levels of damage. 80% of my NFL players got better. when we put them on a rehabilitation program.

So if you've been bad to your brain, like nonstop gaming, lots of pornography, terrible food, and all of a sudden you go, oh, I can have a better brain. Your brain can be better in as little as a couple of months where you just feel better, think better, your mood is better. But it has to start with this concept. I think we've talked about brain envy. You have to want to have a better brain.

But that's really someone who is forward thinking. I think more people come because they're hurting.
