And we were just like the little furry mammals under the feet of these dinosaurs, right? In retrospect. I love the analogy. But the dinosaurs died off. But the point I'm making is that it's possible for our brain to make these extrapolations into the future. Why not AI versions of brains? Why not? I think your idea is a great one.

Specifically for schizophrenia, I'm pretty sure that if we had these large language models 20 years ago, we would have known back then that ketamine would have been a really good drug to try to help these people.

One of the things now that we know, see, the problem is that if you look at the endpoint, that doesn't tell you what started the problem. It started early in development. Schizophrenia It's something that appears when, you know, late adolescence, early adulthood, but it actually is already a problem, a genetic problem from the get-go.

So here's the experiment. Okay, this is very, very, it's been replicated many, many times in mice, I should say. Oh, no, actually, okay, let me start with a human. Okay, so ketamine is, for a long time, and it still is a party drug, special K. I've never taken it, but this is what I hear.

But I'll tell you what happens, because I've talked to these people who have done this, You take ketamine, sub-anesthetic. By the way, it's an anesthetic. It's given to children. It's a pretty good anesthetic. And it's also used in veterinary medicine. But in any case, you give it to, you take young adults. Here's what they experience. They experience out-of-body experience.

They have this wonderful feeling of energy. And they're very, it's a high, but it's a very unusual high. Now, you know, if they just go and have one experience, but if they have two, like they party two days in a row, a lot of them come into the immersion zero. And here's what the symptoms are. Full-blown psychosis. Full-blown. We're talking about, you know, indistinguishable psychosis.
