Mark Manson

I was the same fucking idiot.

Like I just had new things to laugh at.

Right.

That was pretty much all that happened.

Right.

Yeah.

I think that's the risk with psychedelics, so I would caution.

Can we just like pause for a second?

Because that happens all the time.

And I think, not just with psychedelics too, I think you see- Big change in general, yeah.

Yeah, you see it happen.

People read a book and they're like, oh my God, this book changed my life.

And they're doing the same shit.

Like it's endemic, particularly in the personal growth space.

I see it all the time with people.

People become kind of addicted to telling themselves they changed without actually-

living the change or implementing the change or there's also a little bit of a dopamine hit of changing something small in your life right like having like a new smoothie in the morning with a new supplement and then like convincing yourself that that has completely altered your energy levels for the last month straight and you're a new person because of it it's narratives like that that we want to believe and because we want to believe them we're more likely to believe them

It's not real.

Yeah.

Yeah.
