I think it predisposes sometimes to some of the, you know, not super severe mental illnesses, which I think come more from, you know, genetic and broken brain type, what I call broken brain type phenomena, but just some of the altered inputs from not carrying our children around all day long or having our parents carry them around. talking to them all day.

You know, they're thrown into middle schools with, you know, 200 other kids their same age without support of Ken all day long and that sort of thing. And that creates... anxiety situations that we don't need to eliminate per se. We need to learn to deal with them.
