What happens with evidence-based manifestation so people can actually put these affirmations to work in a way where it'll help their brain rather than work against it?

What you're talking about, though, is fundamentally so sad.

Honestly, how many people feel that way?

And...

The statistics, I'm just going off on a tangent here, are pretty eye-opening.

That 64% of workers feel like they don't belong in their work environment.

68% of people feel like they don't belong in the United States.

And 74% of people in America don't feel like they belong in their communities.

There's something fundamentally going on where so many of us

are living in an inauthentic version of who we think we should be.

And we wear all these masks to perform a different version of us.

And I think that is what is leading so much to the loneliness, hopelessness, whatever you call it.

Are you familiar with Robin Dunbar?

Oh, so Robin Dunbar was a British anthropologist and came up with this, what's called Dunbar's number, which is that we are wired evolutionary wise to have no more than 150 connections.

And I think I've done some solo podcasts on this topic.

And one of the things I think that's happening

is we in the world now are essentially being asked to be present for what's happening to 7 billion people instantaneously.

So negative things that are happening across the world, we're supposed to be an expert in them, or I think we're held to that standard.

And evolutionary wise, there's no way that we can do it.

So there's just a huge mismatch between what's going on.
