And you wear your raincoat because it's a radiation coat that keeps you safe when you're exploring this planet. We're using our imagination. The young kids are not. And so here's what's happening. The psychology is showing this. Their brain size is stunted. Their cognitive development is stunted.

their muscles have atrophied because they're not using their muscles and their body size, but there's a part of their brain that is enlarged, it's the visual cortex, because they're engaging that visual cortex With the AI, that's all they're doing is, and the same thing happens with people who've done a lot of ayahuasca.
