When I was living in Utah, they excommunicated a DNA expert from the Mormon church for finding the data that said that Mormonism's claims were wrong. So something that makes my body relax where it's also logically coherent. That's the first thing. And then what you find is if you really pursue that, what is true? What is true? What is true?

Everything that makes you suffer turns out to have flaws in the logic, including I will die. Right. Because I can't know, I have no idea. So to say that I will go out like a candle when my body dies is just as fundamentalist as saying I'm gonna go sit on a cloud and play a harp. I don't know.

Nisargadatta Maharaj, one of my favorite yogis says, the only true assertion that the mind can make is I do not know. But you can feel what feels right to you. So that's what ends up being real. What's left over when you eliminate all the things that feel deeply untrue to your body and don't make logical sense? And some of those are things that our culture is very, very fond of.

Those friends are probably dead by now. They're not doing well. That's true. And I grew up

Well, we have this culture of push, push, push, produce, produce, produce. One of my favorite heroes, along with Oliver Sacks, is Ian McGilchrist at Oxford. I love that man. He may wake up someday just to find me crouched on his bed watching him sleep. He's like, he's not just a neurologist. Ian, don't be scared. Not in a creepy way. Not in a creepy way, sir.

But he talks about how our particular culture for the last few hundred years has veered towards stuff that is preferentially favored by the left hemisphere of the brain. And it has to do with grasping things and producing physical things and getting things to happen, controlling them, where the right side of the brain, and of course, it's all I'm oversimplifying massively.
