and I'm not the one first saying this, many people, we looked for psychiatric disorders to mostly be caused by a single solution.
That's the smart thing to do.
If it's something simple, like in your car, it usually is something simple.
When your car is broken, there's usually one problem.
But in an economic system, there's probably 50 problems.
There's probably not one thing that's the bad thing.
You've got to fix a lot of things.
In an ecosystem, maybe somebody removed walls, and all you've got to do is put walls back, and it's an easy fix.
But typically, it's some big, messy situation you're trying to better understand.
And I think biologists, we talked about that.
I read a book not too long ago on kelp, sea kelp, Macrocystis.
And like, why does kelp live worthless?
It's just hundreds of grazers, things adding to it.
The story you've heard about sea urchins and otters is way too simple.
But it's okay.
It's a way to think about it.
But we just come to understand to take care of the natural world, it's complicated.
There's not going to be this one silver bullet.
And that's the same of our brain.
I like that.
