It's beautiful and it's all correct. I think you're right. And, and I think science is catching up to some of this stuff because when you look back on things like telepathy, you, if you go to most native, you know, groups of people that are still around and thriving, I think they would say, yeah, duh.

Absolutely. And I think you take something that probably has the most amount of quote unquote charlatans and the most amount of skepticism, like mediums. Right. However, like the Winbridge Institute, Forever Family Foundation, there are groups out there that will like double, triple blind test individuals to be like, these are the people we've tested. We've tested. We've tested.

We've they don't even know who's the sitter versus blank, blank, blank. And and they come up with a list. You know, like 15% of the people they tested were the real deal according to these tests.

So I think that's what's a good reminder for people too, is if you look into a lot of this stuff, some of the people, there are organizations and institutions out there looking at the science, trying to vet the best from the best. And you can do it. Like if you spend the time to do the research, you can figure out if it's real and who's the real deal.

For sure, people are resistant to change, right? We like our status quo. It feels safe. We like feeling safe. But I think when it comes to psi abilities, usually it's so vulnerable, right?

To lay bare your soul and trust that someone's actually being a good steward of like your deepest secrets or connections and lying about it and profiting off it. I mean, there's like nothing grosser. Profiting off of vulnerability and trust is just the worst. Yeah. So I think that's why people are really skeptical.
