Yeah, it reduces your fear.

Today, we might look for different things, but this was also a performance-driven totalitarian society moving towards war.

So if someone takes Pavitin and says in the clinical tests at the university, I'm not afraid of anything anymore.

So that's positive.

That's actually what got the guy who worked for the German army interested because he read university reports.

I also saw all of these reports.

They were also in the military archive.

So he's like, okay, you're not afraid anymore if you take methamphetamine.

You don't need to sleep anymore.

You don't need to eat so much because your appetite is lowered.

This is perfect for a soldier.

We have to be high performers without a drug.

And he also said, you know, the obvious, this is going to make you addicted, etc.

This will create a tolerance.
