But I'm curious about how you understand the connection between these two things.

Yeah, so that's awesome.

So let me, I mean, I completely agree.

I think that one of the really misunderstood things by Western science is the depth of things that are understood in yoga.

What?

Which one?

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, I think so.

So I think we see that a lot in a Eurocentric version of science, that there are certain biases that are implicit in the West.

And so I think what you caught on, I would actually completely agree with, that there are, once you load the question, right, once you say that Western science isn't the general science, I think we see that, or I believe that that is absolutely the case.

And I think one of the great examples of that is that if we look at

something like a yogic practice, we can see that there are some yogic practices or practices of Tai Chi that will outperform physical exercise because these yogic practices do assume certain ideas around or not assume, but they've had their own verification methods.

But, you know, some of these ideas around prana or some of the stuff that I think you're talking about, you haven't used that word, but

And so I think that some of those practices will actually outperform purely physical practices.

But there isn't a clear sense in the West of why that happens or in science and Western science.

Completely agree.
