Yeah. Yeah, why? Now let's go back to the gut. So imagine there's a little nerve inside every microvilla. There's trillions, I mean, I don't know how many, but billions probably of microvilla in the one or two tennis court surface, right? And imagine this with a little nerve in a tennis court. One nerve next to the other next to the other. It's a huge nervous system.

Well, second in the chronology of how we've been talking about it. But in terms of importance for your life, I don't know if it's the second. They're all important, right? Because this one has to do with... with mentation, ideation, you know, speech, vision, right? But this one has to do with the intuition and other functions that are really important, right?

Other ones like... temperature regulation, mobility of the gut, you know, so it ends up being, because these muscles contract and they are the ones that, and these are muscles too, they are the ones that cause the peristaltic movement. So the food is pushed From one end to the other. So you need that in order to make good poops. Right.
