ep patterns guarantee that they'll be depressed? Guarantee it. It's not even statistically, oh you've increased the chance that you're going to be depressed and sleepy and unhappy and have mental problems. I'm not talking about increasing the odds. I'm talking about you got it. You messed up your sleeping pattern and now you have some mental problems. One-to-one correlation.

Now ideally they're temporary, right? They're more the kind that you could fix with lifestyle and then some work. What about nutrition? Do you think that kids are completely unaffected mentally by a bad diet? Of course they are. Of course they are. And again, I'm not even sure that you'd say that's a statistical thing as much as a one-to-one thing, right? It's not statistically true that if you overeat you get fat. It's true for every person who does it, right? Every individual. If they eat twice as much as the caloric recommended intake, they'll get fat.

So why are we not teaching kids, if you do the things on this checklist, you're going to feel exactly the way you're feeling right now. Do the things on the checklist. Have sleep that's wildly different on the weekends. Eat junk food. And I could fill out the rest of the list. But here's the checklist. It's just a checklist. It is that simple. Did you do these things? No, no you didn't do the things on this list that everybody has to do to feel good. You didn't do them. Nobody can feel good unless they do what's on the list. And all of it. Really all of it. You can't eat wrong and then try to get the other stuff right. It probably won't work, right? You can't get no exercise and think, well I did everything else right. Nope, nope, that's not going to work. You have to do all of those things because we're not so naturally happy that you've got any slop in the system. You kind of have to get everything right, at least in 2021. I don't know if it's always been the same. But we should have a class where we teach them if you do these things you're going to feel this way. If you do this set of things you'll feel a different way. At least know that you're choosing it.

Because my observation is the kids don't have any connection in their minds. They don't connect the things they do with their bodies and their minds with how they feel. Not really. I mean they know that they feel better when they hang out with their friends and they know that if they're hungry it's better to eat. But that's about it. They're not connecting their mood, their entire mental framework, to the things they do. It just feels like they're disconnected things. So we should teach them to connect those things.

Well, there's a publication, and I use that term loosely, called The Verge. Here's a headline from The Verge, headline on Twitter anyway. It says Netflix suspends trans employee who tweeted about Dave Chappelle special. So Netflix suspended a trans employee who I guess complained and tweeted about the Dave Chappelle special which was on Netflix. That sounds terrible, doesn't it? It sounds as if Netflix suspended somebody for having an opinion. Well, I mean that's not unusual for a company to fire a disgruntled employee who's complaining in public. But given the issue, you know it's an issue of general societal interest, seems inappropriate, doesn
