It strikes me that – and again, genetics matter. Their lifestyle matters. I'm not saying any of that stuff doesn't matter. I don't see, at least in my experience, people who make it old age, they're not usually very spun up all the time. I haven't observed that. I don't know if you've seen similar observations.

And that's the lesson there is we're not saying that that stuff doesn't matter. He would have gotten better results if he hadn't smoked, if he had paid more attention to his nutrition, that sort of thing. But we have to keep in mind, what is the hierarchy of importance and the power here, right? And so- I'll give you an example.

We're going to zoom in on the blade of grass, but I believe it relates back to this conversation we're having. So we know creatine works because we've got thousands of double-blind placebo-controlled trials showing that creatine works, right?

But there was a study where they gave people creatine or didn't give them creatine and then randomly told them if they got it or not, meaning you had people who didn't get creatine, got creatine, who didn't get it, told they didn't get it, people who

got it told they got it and people who got it told they didn't get it and what they found was the results and i forget what they actually specifically measured but the results basically were like not what they got what they told them okay now people will misinterpret that as well see creatine doesn't work no no it works it just means your beliefs about what creatine does are more powerful than what it actually does just like actually there's a similar trial with caffeine

And I'm thinking about – there was a study. I don't have the specific citation, but they had two groups of men train drug-free. One group they told they were getting steroids. That group gained significantly more strength and muscle mass. Now – I would argue that's probably because they're going into training sessions believing that they can train harder, believing that they will recover better.

But that goes to show the power of placebo and the power of belief. When I say placebo, people think what I'm saying is you're lying about your experience. That is not what I'm saying at all. I think your experience is probably quite valid, right? What I'm saying is it may not be due to the thing you think it's due to, but your beliefs about the thing.
