But there are certainly a lot of people who struggle with that and who really have difficulty trying to understand the ideas and the stories that they were brought up with that they are now using to try to understand the world as it is. And some people are able to figure out how to make those connections very well and very clearly. Other people are not.

And again, that's where it could be very interesting to be. My guess is it's going to be a pretty complicated and multifactorial issue for people. But I think that there could be some very interesting abilities to look at that. And for people who figured out how to make it work, what's going on in their brain? Do they look at things more nuanced, more complex, less complex?

Do they bring a different kind of emotionality to it? Are they more emotional, less emotional? So there's a lot of interesting aspects to that. But again, part of the interesting, and I don't know if this is another answer to your question, but part of what I find fascinating about some of the discussions about the research, looking at things like religiosity itself, is that we all have different

cognitive and emotional domains that we bring to our view of the world. And there isn't really a right or a wrong one. If somebody looks at the world more emotionally or less emotionally than somebody else, is it right to be more emotional? Well, sometimes it is. It can be good to be more emotional. Maybe it helps you to make a connection. Maybe it helps you to be a doctor.

Maybe it helps you to be a better better doctor because you make an emotional connection with your patients. On the other hand, maybe for some people it's worse because now you're emotionally connected. Now you can't look at them in as an objective way as possible. So maybe for some people, being emotional makes you a better doctor. And for some people, being emotional makes you a worse doctor.

It's always this adaptability piece, which I think is quite challenging and quite interesting that there isn't an inherently right or wrong way to be and whether again, more emotional, less emotional, more cognitive, less cognitive, but it's what works for each person and then whether or not they are able to find a way.

to be able to make that more adaptive make that connection so that they understand themselves it goes back to what we're talking at the beginning how they understand themselves how they understand the world and are they able to do that with whatever perspective that they decide to take and if they are then that's great and they can be very adaptive and productive on the other hand if their sense of the world if their sense of meaning and purpose is not
