something like 23% of them were either on or supposed to be on Ritalin or Adderall, an ADHD drug. And what they found when actually going back and looking at the data is that the drugs seem to have a short-term effect for behavior, made people calm down or be compliant for a little bit. That wore off after a year or two.

But when you looked at actual cognitive scores, when you look to see, hey, did these kids do better in school? Did they learn more? Were they smarter? As a result of being put on this drug, the resounding answer was no. And even more disturbing, when they went back and looked at the history, they can't even find a single biological, physical marker that somebody has ADHD or doesn't have ADHD.

And in reality, what was happening is you had, I think, a lot at the urging of schools and parents. You had little boys who had surplus energy. being drugged so that they could be compliant in class. And let me tell you, being an adult now, having extra energy, man, I'm jealous of kids who have that. That's a superpower.

And yet we told multiple generations of little boys, this thing you have, which is a ton of energy and love for life that we all wish we could have when we're tired and at the end of the day, that's actually a disability. There's something wrong with you because you're full of life. And it was evil what was done To tens of millions of boys over 30 years.

I think with so many things in the pharmaceutical and medical area, it started out as a genuine attempt to address the problem. Hey, we think there may be the small sliver of kids who have a neurological issue that makes it impossible for them to focus or learn. And so they developed this drug at the time that they thought, hey, this might be good for treating this tiny little niche problem.

And they didn't like that a ton of boys are just not made to sit in a classroom like statues for eight or nine hours a day.
