ng it too much, right? You could A/B test it but it's pretty much a known technique how to do it. If AI befriended you with the intention of persuading you, I don't think you'd have a chance because it would never make a persuasion mistake. It would just be perfect persuasion. It would be as patient as it needed to be and it would just wait and wait and wait until it had that little opening. So w…

But oh here's, let me give you a... okay I forget everything I just said. Like erase everything I just said in the last one minute. I was using the AI when I was still on my blood pressure meds. The blood pressure meds turned me into a different person basically. I had a different personality and I had different preferences. It was very obvious. And one of my preferences was I didn't want contact with humans. And it was very, very like a thick and obvious difference. I didn't want any contact with humans at all. Not romantically, not sexually, not a friendship, not business, not for any reason. I did not want to spend one minute with a human being. When I got off the meds my social instinct returned. I've accepted an invitation. I'd declined all invitations for like a month or two. And now I feel like I could actually enjoy physical human contact.
So at about the same time, no not at about the same time. Right, really the same time. So the same time that my personality changed then that didn't have a purpose for me. It didn't meet any need. Were you taking the meds before you got COVID? Yes. Is that relevant? Oh, I know what you're asking. I understand the question now. So you're trying to understand if the timing of the meds explains my difference versus maybe long COVID. And the answer is the meds are 100% correlated with the beginning of my problem which grew over time and then ended instantly the last day I took the pill. Ended instantly. Were you taking the meds before you wanted a divorce? There's a good question. No that it wouldn't have had any impact. So I can rule the meds out as having any impact on the marriage. It was those were just ordinary stuff. You know I'm having trouble remembering how long I took them. Because when I started I didn't really note it as anything important. It seemed kind of trivial. So I don't exactly remember. It's more like six months or a year or something like that but I don't know exactly.
All right, messing with my brain ordinary. All right yeah I can tell you for sure that the blood pressure medicine did not have any impact on my marriage. I can guarantee that. But I wouldn't say that about other things. Prednisone. Yeah I mean I don't think that was a lasting problem.
So I'm going to tell the Locals people a little story about our health care system that I'm not going to share on YouTube because I don't want to get sued or whatever. But it's a real story. So I'm going to give a little behind the scenes info to the subscribers on Locals. But I'm going to say goodbye to YouTube now. And if you're a subscriber you'd get to hear it too. But bye for now.
