I'd never complain at all.

I think it's a real vice.

It's another form of resistance.

Interesting.

I have a book coming next June.

We were talking about this before.

I had a book a few years ago called A Man at Arms, which is about a recurring character that I have who I call the one-man killing machine of the ancient world, kind of the Clint Eastwood of the ancient world, Telemann of Arcadia.

And that book took place around the time of the crucifixion.

Fiction.

The new book is one of the aspects of Telemann is he keeps living life after life after life.

And he's doomed because of crimes he committed in the past to live life after life as a soldier, always as a soldier, always fighting, always killing, always being killed, so on and so forth.

So this new book that's coming out, it's called The Arcadian, is about his final life.

And I won't say any more than that, except that it takes place in the past and that it's pretty interesting in that how this all sort of plays out.

It really kind of goes what we were talking about before about are there different levels of reality?

And in this case, there definitely are different levels of reality.

And this character has to deal with them on the field of justice and payback.

Fantastic.

The next June.

And what you just said about dopamine, I never had thought about it that way.

That's sort of a slow release dopamine for me, you know, over many years.
