And that's what I was confusing. Sorry. It's 5-MeO that's the 10-minute ride. Yes.

yeah there's a there's a book by this title that talks about the difference between altered states and altered traits and the idea here is every time you do one of these drugs it alters your state obviously but unless it's altering a trait i.e once the effect of the drug is gone Is it going to change the person I am? Does it make me a better person?

If it doesn't, that's a litmus test that you shouldn't be doing it. And so that is the standard I hold myself to on these things. I have no interest in just having my state altered. If it's not going to address a trait, I don't care. I actually like the state I'm in. I don't need to run from this place unless transiently doing so is going to help me fix something. That's a great way to put it.

What's the fourth one? Metabolic? Metabolic disease. So this is everything from insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes. And this is, in many ways, probably the one that's growing at the fastest rate. So in the year you and I, well, I guess I'm 10 years older than you, but roughly when you and I were born, you know, we're talking 1% of the US population had type 2 diabetes.

It's 10% today.

It's 10% today.

You know, obesity rates have doubled in that period of time. So something's broken, right? Something is broken. And if you have type 2 diabetes, your risk of all-cause mortality is 40% higher. Your risk of getting any of these other diseases is up to 50, in some cases, 100% higher. not to mention the personal toll this takes, right?

That doesn't count all the other stuff, the blindness, the impotence, the amputations of digits, like all the other stuff that comes with this, the cost of the healthcare system. I mean, we could rattle off everything about this, right? So what is it that's going on?

Like, you know, because obviously there's an association between weight and metabolic health, but it's not an ironclad association, right? And we know that weight by itself, excess weight by itself, is not the problem.
