um yeah so i do believe that's true actually the gaia hypothesis uh and james lovelock came up with and he came up with that hypothesis he's trying to figure out how earth made the atmosphere because they were talking about terraforming mars way back then well we have to create an atmosphere we can't really terraform it unless we have air oxygen you know atmosphere

And he said, well, I can't figure that one out, but I have to figure out how we created this one. And if you read, he's a scientist, he read about it saying, we can't really explain how this one got created. And, but we do know that the creation and life and the atmosphere, so forth, were a symbiosis, you know, it was a symbiosis.

And so we know that ocean phytoplankton bloom change, you know, when the temperature changes and that there's this, the earth is constantly adjusting. to itself, really, because the atmosphere and the biosphere are the same thing. Just like you have air and gas inside your lungs, but you don't call that your atmosphere. You're one body and you have gas and you have solid.

It's just like the earth is the same thing. That little thin veil, the blue thing that encloses a planet is the planet. But yeah, you go into areas of sort of mysticism and so forth, mystery. I love mystery, but in my book, I stick to science actually. When we did Project Data, Project Regeneration, we had a phrase that said, in God we trust, all others bring data.

So everything in the book is about data. It's not about supposition or belief.

That's a really good question. And I could go back in my head. early youth too, and talk about plant medicine, you know, which I started to use when I was 20 years old. And always so with respect to the teachers and sources, you know, as opposed to just molecules or things that, you know, changed your brainwaves.

So I was very fortunate to be around people who were very reverent about plant medicine and what it means and how it was used and not as you didn't go dancing with it, you know. And it wasn't about parties and it wasn't about that. It was about introspection. And then that introspection really was... Maybe introspection is the wrong word.

But that inner journey and so forth was inevitably connected to everything you saw. And the way you saw it, I remember it so well. And because of that, I went into the natural food business, actually. And I no longer took any plant medicines. Not because I... thought they were bad or shouldn't or anything, I just stopped. I felt, I'm good.
