And then Sunday when the high slowly wears off, you sleep and then you wake up and you're hungry, maybe you eat.

And then the next day, Monday, you're going to do it again.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
So that's this rhythm.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
Dolentine.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
It's said to have the best effect, the best in the sense of, it's not about strength, you know, you just increase the dosage and you have a stronger effect, but you can't increase it too much because then you're going to die.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
You know, that's also the problem with opioids.

#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
If you take too much, you're going to die because you just have a heart attack.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
There's nuanced differences that it's hard to convert into words, I guess, yeah.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
Different molecules have different effects.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
So Oikodal apparently had the best effect.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
That's why you had the oxycodone epidemic in America, because people take this pill.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
I mean, thank God they're not injecting it all like Hitler did.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
They take a pill, so it's not so dangerous as injecting.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
But apparently the effect is so pleasant of this Oikodal, of this particular type of opioid.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
that it just is more attractive maybe than Dolantin.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
I think it would be speculative to answer, but I can try, but it's very, the war is so complex, I mean,
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
There's many different ways this war could have played out and ended, but I think it would always have ended with a German defeat.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
Well, if you don't attack the Soviet Union, then of course you can win.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
Yeah, you would need like an impossible Hitler that is as crazy as he was, but still wouldn't make any irrational mistakes.
Lex Fridman Podcast
#481 β Norman Ohler: Hitler, Nazis, Drugs, WW2, Blitzkrieg, LSD, MKUltra & CIA
So that doesn't exist.
