We're not making them change.
I'm not Frankensteining it.
I'm not hacking it.
That's how it was built to do.
If we need gene therapy, drugs, devices, counseling, therapy, if we need five or ten things, that's how my normal life was.
My childhood was a lot like a lot of factors, diet, nutrition, exercise.
All those things were shaping who I am.
And we hoped it was simple.
It wasn't simple.
It would have been nice.
And a few things were.
But the vast majority now are complicated, and it seems like that humility and that working with patients and letting them understand what are they doing, no one's trying to control anyone's brain.
No one is trying to put in chips and make you do things you don't want to do.
That is not the future of this.
