Number one, can you do this scientifically? And I think resoundingly, the answer is yes. And then number two, I think is a bigger question, is should we be doing these things?

You're really escaping to the place that we traditionally in society really consider escaping from to escape some of these more traumatic memories. So the amygdala and hippocampus helps us process memories, but also associates very, very strong emotions, fear and hate and love with very specific memories.

And so what better part of the brain to target than the area that allows us to, number one, process memories, and number two, associate those with some of the strongest emotions that we feel that make us human.

I remember taking a marker and writing on the whiteboard and printing out articles and printing out pictures and then really discussing it as a group about how we wanted to do that. It is very much scientifically, surgically, medically accurate.

Yeah, you know, I actually think we're not that far off. So in medicine, in neurosurgery, we are currently putting in electrodes to stimulate the brain. Because if you look at the brain, it's really, at a basic level, one giant computer. And if you're able to change sort of the electrical input to the computer, you could change the way that your computer functions. You could turn it on and off.

You could open up different programs. You could change the way those programs function. That's exactly what we're actually doing with the brain. And there are current companies right now that are doing that. And I like to use this example about how really a lot of the entropy that goes into scientific advancement is in really establishing the technology.

Then once you have the technology, then you're able to make that technology grow very, very quick. And I like to use the example of flight. You know, the Wright brothers really did the first flight in 1903. It was only 11 years later where we started flying people commercially. And I think we have now, in this field, we've taken our first flight.
