ast mystery of all mysteries. Not only do you have obvious reasons that are pretty well established, but you've got a ton of them. It's the longest list of reasons to be sad I've ever seen in my life. And you know, a lot of that is just Democrats and phones.

Well, here's the good side. Apparently psychedelics are, you know, almost every day now there's another story about psychedelics helping somebody with their mental health or quitting addiction or something like that. But just in the last few days, a few things that I've read about is that psychedelics, at just one exposure to psychedelics once in your life, can make you more creative forever. Apparently they can measure mental flexibility which gets to creativity and they can determine that one exposure, just one deep trip under psychedelics, and you will forever be more creative.

Now this brings me to me. I've told you many times that when I was just out of college, first came to California, I had a mushroom experience, which I was just reading a story that a number of people who have had a mushroom experience described it as the best day of their life. Now that's exactly how I've described it my whole life, as the best day of my life, and it wasn't anything close. Now I thought maybe it was just me, but apparently that's a common experience.

But the part that I didn't really say out loud too much is that I thought it changed me permanently really. You could tell I was a different person after that and never went back. And one of the things that was different was that I felt my creativity increased. And sure enough, apparently there's some scientific backing to that. I could actually feel it because by the time I became a cartoonist, I actually thought my powers of creativity were for some reason that I didn't understand unusually good. And I think that was part of it. I was always creative, but even I felt there was some kind of turbocharge that happened as a young adult. I was quite aware of it and I was always puzzled by it because it felt like just some kind of gene kicked in that I didn't know I had. Maybe it was that. Maybe it was.

But now they know that people who did psychedelics will also score higher on tests of inductive reasoning, verbal fluency, working memory, processing speed, attention switching, and inhibitory control. So it can get rid of your depression, your anxiety, your addiction, and it can make you smarter and more creative permanently. Just think about that. It can solve all of those things and make you more creative and make you smarter permanently.

I don't think we quite understand where this is heading. This is so big that it's hard to actually wrap your head around it. It's one of the biggest things that's ever happened in human civilization. And you know, it's up there with AI and robotics in terms of how much it's going to change the world. All we really needed was to change the psychology from "oh, it's a dangerous drug, stay away" to "it might be the most miraculous medicine of all humankind." And that's happening.

So normies are doing it. You know, the soccer moms, they're
