And so what people will report is, yeah, I'm not in that state, but I saw what was possible. I saw, yeah, you can, There don't need to be barriers, or at least not as many barriers as I thought. I can connect with more people in a way that is helpful. And so I think it's the learning that happens in that state that actually matters.
It's a part of intimacy, really. It should be when we have time. I think all good psychiatrists try to achieve that level of connection and learning, try to help patients create a new connection. a new model that is stable, that is learned, and that can help instruct future behavior.

I am. And this is, by the way, this was a really interesting experience in writing projections because I had a dual goal. I wanted it to be for everybody, literally everybody in the world who wants to read it. And yet at the same time, I wanted to... stay absolutely rigorously close to the science, what was actually known.

When I was speaking about science, when I was speaking about the neurobiology of the brain or psychiatry, I wanted to not have any of my scientific colleagues think, oh, he's going too far, he's saying too much. And so I had these two goals, which I kept in my mind the entire time. And a lot of this trying to find exactly the right word we talked about was

on this path of staying excruciatingly rigorous in the science and yet letting people see the hope, where things were, have everybody see that we've come a long way, we have a long way to go, but the trajectory and the path is beautiful. And so that was the goal. I think, you know, of course, that sounds almost impossible to jointly satisfy those two goals,
