ngs are going pretty well for them, until you get to know them and then you find out that they're just basket cases. Well, we got a little glimpse of that. As if you couldn't tell already that Megan Fox has body dysmorphia issues, fairly serious mental disorder. If you've got that, you're not happy at all. And her boyfriend says he's got PTSD from past drug use and other experiences.

So these two people who look like the most lucky people in the world, they're rich, they're famous, they're beautiful, they found each other, all good stuff, right? And you go down this deep, you just scratch a little bit of the surface off and immediately massive mental problems.

Yeah, somebody's saying Tommy Lee, Pam Anderson, 2004. Now this is nothing against those two people. They are two people doing the best they can, presumably doing the best they can, trying to make this world work. But I like to point that out for those of you who feel less lucky. I don't know if you would trade places with them. I say that about myself. If you look at my life, how many people would think, wouldn't mind having his life? It looks like things worked out pretty well for him. How many of you would trade for my life? Well, you don't know my life, do you?

If you had to take the whole thing, you don't get to pick and choose, right? You don't get to pick the good parts. You don't get just the money and the fame. You got to take it all. Would you trade with me? If you're dumb you would. I got some issues too. More of my issues are in my past than my present. But if you had to take my whole life, no, you wouldn't take it. Trust me. But at the moment it's pretty good, relatively speaking. I'm not sure what pretty good even looks like because none of us have a problem-free life. I don't think any of us don't have any major problems that we're dealing with, right? Pretty much all of us have some major problems. And if you don't have major problems, your minor problems feel like major problems. So we're largely in similar situations even if it doesn't look like it. It's always good to remember that.

Business Insider has a story about teachers reporting just massive mental health problems with kids. Now this is the least surprising story of 2021, that the children apparently have been quite damaged psychologically by the pandemic. And here's the question that I ask you. We have gym class. Did you ever think gym class sort of doesn't really fit exactly with school? I mean, I get it. You want to teach them to be physically fit. You need to get them standing up and away from their desks. And they can socialize a little bit better in gym than they can in the rest of the classes. There are tons of reasons that gym class is good, so I'm in favor of it. But don't we need a mental health class? Don't we need the equivalent of gym class for your brain?

It's not good enough just the reading and writing and arithmetic. I mean, that stuff's good. But yeah, we have health class, which is good. I think the content in health class is probably very beneficial. But how many of the kids are being taught the techniques of good mental health? Because there is technique. And I always get in trouble for this, so I'll be as clear as I can, because people are going to conflate my opinion with some opinion that's not mine and suddenly I'm in trouble.

It goes like this. I want to be very clear that if somebody has an organic, serious mental disorder, that they're not going to fix that by getting more sleep and improving their nutrition, probably. As far as I know that doesn't work. So we're not talking people who've got the real serious, you better see a medical professional right away kind of problem. I'm talking about the people who maybe think they need to see a professional but they're not quite there. And maybe it's not an organic problem. Maybe it's situational. That's a lot of people.
