It's like I'm going to say, I got six billionaires and it's like, that sample's not big enough.

60 billionaires who stayed home and 60 billionaires who took, you know, ayahuasca.

My view is in a highly technocratic society like we have today, that people who are in that, the billionaire club, they're disproportionately entirely working in the left hemispheres of their brain.

And they get to the highest, the crowning heights of the economy and success and find that their life has no meaning because they've been looking for it in the wrong place.

And by the way, going to the Amazonian rainforest is the wrong place too.

They need to go to the right hemisphere of their brains.

I don't mean that politically necessarily.

It's moving to the right inside their own heads.

And there's lots of ways you can do that besides taking ayahuasca in the Amazonian rainforest.

This new book tells sort of the six canonical ways that you can do that, as a matter of fact.

I think they're mostly looking for a way to alleviate unhappiness is what they're doing.

They're not seeking happiness.

They're trying to alleviate misery.

And the misery is actually coming from the lack of meaning that they're sensing in their lives.

And they're hoping that this will open up some door.

And in some people, I mean, there's some, I think, preliminary evidence.

There's not enough evidence for me yet to actually go try, you know, ayahuasca on the...

floor of a hut.

There are.

Yeah, we just don't know the risks yet.
