That appears to be what's happening, but there's no causal link because everyone is doing this experiment together.

My children watched lots of videos exposed to lots of things.

It's very difficult to get rid of it.

It's sort of in the water.

It's in the culture, having a phone and having that restricted view.

On the flip side, this generation is great.

They've got a million things they know about because they were able to time travel and look at things in the distant past, look at things in the future, look at things in other countries.

Their awareness of people who are different from them is so exciting.

So it's hard to balance those two.

But in general, the concern for me would be if you max out that neuromodulator release, if you do things all the time, including illicit drugs, that push that up, it's intuitive to me that that would then push down all your other experiences.

So I've had the great pleasure of taking my face from the desert world of the Sinai Peninsula and putting it down into the water of the Red Sea.

It's miraculous.

I mean the level of colors and movement and textures.

And you pull your head back up and you're recalibrated like this is the moon.

There's all this rock.

Put your face back down.

That contrast to me is real and very exciting.

Others have told me that they have taken a list of drugs and had very similar experiences.

And I'm not going to say that my experience of real colors and real life forms and real waves and patterns is superior.

It's just my preference.
