And when you look at politics or you look at the world, you know, a lot of it's made up. Like Bitcoin's on a run today. Everyone's excited. It broke 109 or 110. I mean, great, but Bitcoin's made up.

Well, and I think that's the beauty of childhood, right? You know, is everything's new. Oh, yeah. You know, it's, and you know, this is actually an interesting segue to dopamine because, you know, dopamine is triggered by a bunch of things, but mostly by anticipation of something. Okay.

and it's going to bind to the next, it's gonna park in a parking spot we call a receptor on the next nerve cell and trigger the activity of that nerve cell. Nerve cells communicate through electricity and chemicals. The chemicals stimulate electricity. And neurons can make the next neuron more active. They can make the next neuron less active. So this is important.
