at what point is this factual? At what point is this ignoring real factors that were going into this? At what point am I doing it because it's funny and interesting? And so you have to be self-aware and you have to be responsible about these things because it's so, so, so easy to manipulate people.

And it's something that I've become, I've always been acutely aware of it in the realm of psychedelic journalism. I mean, this is like, one of the areas where journalistic failure is the norm, right? It is the exception if a journalist isn't failing miserably in their coverage of drugs. We're just used to that.

They do, it's a hard job to be sympathetic to a very unsympathetic occupation. It's a hard job, but yeah. But they've done a really, really bad job with drugs and they continue to do an unbelievably terrible job.

But what's interesting is we tend not to notice the way these manipulations play out until a decade or so has passed. Like you look back at the scare stories of the past and it's. It's literally laughable. It's a joke. Ha ha ha. Your brain on drugs. How stupid is this? Ecstasy makes holes in your brains. How stupid is this?
