Like y'all are dealt the same hand of cards.

Why do you see it as an opportunity and they see it as doom?

Absolutely.

So your problem is that you started off with an incorrect statement.

Everyone's dealt the same hand of cards.

No, they're not.

The world is the same.

but your life experiences, your genetics, the way that your mind works, if you believe in this stuff, your samskaras and even karma and like this other weird kind of stuff, right?

And the reason that I kind of mentioned that is that the variance that you see between people

must be explainable in some way, right?

So you can explain some of the variants with genetics, you can explain some of the variants with upbringing, you can explain some of the variants with personality, but personality is a combination of genetics and upbringing to a certain degree.

The reason I believe in the other weird stuff is that I do a better job of helping people because those variables are not enough to explain the variants.

So I had a patient once who lost a leg because they were standing on a curb and a car swiveled.

Like, you know, a car just moved one foot.

They were driving at the edge of this one foot, hit this person's leg.

Just standing on a curb.

Everyone does it every day.

Lost a leg.

Gone forever.
