Yeah. I mean, I was trained to be closed minded for sure.
It's getting comfortable with uncertainty, I think is truly the best way to put it. Accepting the fact that there's nothing we know for sure, and even reality itself is not real. But for me, that getting comfortable with uncertainty was the hardest part. I mean, I was just like, oh, but I am certain about this. And then I realized I'm not certain about anything.

And so I can be comfortable with being uncertain, but that also opens up possibilities for everything when you're like that. I mean, when you think about a complex adaptive system, it thrives on the edge of chaos. I mean, you think about the measures we use like heart rate variability. What is heart rate variability? It's basically chaos. It's on the edge of chaos.

It's the interval between heartbeats, that timing that is just so different. And the wider that gets, the healthier the system is. They've also proven that in breath rate variability and gait rate variability that the healthiest systems have the greatest variability.

And so, wow, a healthy complex adaptive system thrives on the edge of chaos, not being metronomic and regular, which is what most people try to focus on. And so that was mind-blowing to me.

My favorite philosopher was Nietzsche. And in his book, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, he was talking about man was given two options. He could be the Ubermensch, where he would experience the highest of highs, but also experience the lowest of lows going through life. Or he could make the choice to be what they call the last man, which was choosing the greatest comfort with the least pain.

And he was so disappointed that everybody chose to be the last man. When he saw the Ubermensch as this person that really lived life, that life of excellence, because, you know, you can't experience those highest highs if you don't experience the lowest lows. And that full spectrum human experience is what makes life grand.

Yeah, I mean, some of the stuff we talked about this weekend in relationships. I mean, that is something that is not talked about And we were with couples that have the most spectacular relationships. I mean, truly transcendent relationships with their partners. And if that could be taught and bottled, I mean, wow, that would change the world.
