Basically,

Watching movies that are trying to capture the essence of troubled minds, I think is teaching us so much about our everyday selves, because many of us are able to sort of control our minds and are able to somehow hide these emotions.

But every time I see somebody who's troubled, I see versions of myself, maybe not as extreme, but I can sort of empathize with these behaviors.

And I see bipolar, I see schizophrenia, I see depression, I see autism, I see so many different aspects that we kind of have names for and crystallize in specific individuals.

And I think all of us have that.

All of us have sort of just this multidimensional brain and genetic variations that push us in these directions, environmental exposures and traumas that push us in these directions, environmental behaviors that are reinforced by the kind of friends that we chose or friends that we were stuck with because of the environments that we grew up in.

So in a way, a lot of these types of behaviors

are within the vector span of every human.

It's just that the magnitude of those vectors is generally smaller for most people.

because they haven't inherited that particular set of genetic variants or because they haven't been exposed to those environments, basically.

We know how to control them.

Every human that grows up in this world spends several decades being shaped into place.

And without that, you know, maybe we would have the unfiltered Chachapiti 4.

Every baby is basically a raging narcissist.

not all of them not all of them believe it or not it's it's remarkable like i remember like watching my kids grow up and again like yes part of their personality has stayed the same but also in different phases to their life they've gone through these dramatically different types of behaviors and you know my daughter basically saying you know basically one kid saying oh i want a bigger piece the other one saying oh everything must be exactly equal and the third one saying

I'm okay.

You know, I'm apt to have the smaller part.

Don't worry about me.

Even in the early days, in the early days of development.

Yeah.
