I know who his wife is, but I'm not going to talk about it.
He really wants to protect his privacy.
And I think that's also amazing.
Like Kiro, he also lived with his mom.
That's amazing, actually.
I somehow think that the universe has a big story to tell, or it's telling a big story the whole time, and our consciousness is part of that bigger story.
So the consciousness of the whole of the universe, the big, the huge story is something that is probably the meaning of life, or the meaning of life, of our individual life is to understand that story.
And that is something, for example, that I understood quite well on LSD when I walked in the mountains about a month ago, because the mountains...
They actually, you know, they're quite high up into the atmosphere and they are made of all kinds of minerals.
And so they are receiving cosmic energy that comes, you know, that hits our planet.
And walking up there, and it doesn't, I guess if you're on LSD, you're more open somehow because you're not closing with your default mode network.
That, you know, this is the tree and this is the path and this is the mountain and now it's two o'clock and I have to go back.
And the rain, like this, you're more open.
So you're more like perceiving.
That's at least the impression I had.
And I couldn't put it in words what exactly I was perceiving, but I was perceiving more of...
the bigger story.
And I think that is inspiration.
