You can't necessarily say what drove it.

And so that's where, for me, I think, yeah, I think it's really cool to walk that line of science.

I mean, in my personal opinion, I view science as a tool and a lens through which you can look at life, but it's not the only lens that you can look at life through.

And I think the more lenses you look at life through—

the better view that you can have and the more holistic perspective that you can have.

And that's where you actually can start to gain that better understanding.

Yeah.

Life loses its magic.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I think it's okay to just say we don't know.

It's okay to just be like, I have no idea, because then you just get to decide for yourself what you want it to be.

And I think that's really fun, and that's a power that we've been given as human beings, that we have this amazing superpower where we get to choose meaning.

And not all species have that.

We have that.

And so we get to choose that.

And so if we don't know, why not choose a meaning that serves you and that serves your life and that serves your mental health and your physical health?

Why not do that?

In my opinion, that's what I find more fun to do.

Okay.

So on the other hand, when I'm looking at identity, I mean, the default mode network, it's been shown to kind of hold.
