Depression, anxiety, et cetera, haven't magically gone away.

Like cancer's been, we've got cancer pretty much under control with advances in medicine, and we've got things like heart disease to...

tremendously under control because of advances in medicine.

That works for the body.

It works for the physical parts of the body, but it doesn't work for mind.

Mind can't be put into that kind of category.

Mind is so massively expansive and everyone's, there's no cookie cutter framework.

You can have two people in the same home that have had the same abuse and one will be a total success and one will be a drug addict.

And they've had exactly the same upbringing.

We see this with identical twins.

They're totally different pathways in their life.

In other words, the uniqueness of humanity has been obliterated.

The story of humans has been obliterated.

And when that happens, you will have a major problem.

So for years, for decades, we have been living longer because of advances in medicine and technology because medicine was so bad.

like non-existent, and then medicine developed, which was phenomenal.

And it's continued to develop, so it's kept people alive.

But we've reached a point in history where that advance in medicine, technology, brain science is we know how to keep a person alive, but we've taken away an ingredient that is the most important ingredient, and that's mind.

And that then has caused, so for the first time in decades, people are not living longer, they're dying younger, 8 to 25 years younger.

And it's called deaths of despair.
