what it is, but they're pretty sure it's not causing trouble. But they don't know what it is. It might be the size of a car. Everything about this drone story sounds wrong. I feel like somebody must know exactly what those drones are. Are they just not talking? I think that's what's happening. Anyway, apparently the FDA might outlaw food dyes within a few weeks, according to the New York Post. Th…

So what if the people who do the psychedelics are not responding chemically to some afterglow chemical thing? What if they figured out how to author the simulation? Because I think that's what the psychedelics do. I think they teach you to control reality, but only the reality that you experience, because it's all subjective. So I don't know. This is suggestive that maybe people learn how to control the reality once they've had a psychedelic experience. That was my experience, that once I, you know, the one time I did psychedelics when I was in my 20s, I could see that the world was whatever I wanted it to be. And it all worked. It worked just as well if you saw it as a mess or as some kind of heaven. It all worked. You still eat, you still drive your car, but you can see it as either all bad or all good. It was just the choice. So that changed my life forever. So I can understand the study.
Meanwhile, over in Denmark, did you know, according to The Guardian, there's a five-minute city now. If you've been with me for a while, you know the following. I often say, hey, we should design cities from scratch to make them really designed well for how people's lifestyles work. And then what do all the NPCs say in the comments? We don't want no 15-minute cities. And then I say, well, it wasn't really about a 15-minute city, but you know, you would certainly take into account having things close, and maybe you don't want cars everywhere, but really it's more about design. We don't want no 15-minute cities because the World Economic Forum and the elites are trying to put us in the cities and then they chip us. They'll put chips in us and then we'll have no cars, we'll have no freedom, and we'll be chipped. And then I say I'm really just talking about a better design for the thing you're already doing, which is living in the city. Oh no, 15-minute cities will be terrible for everybody. It's the end of the world if you make a better city. That's crazy. You should be fixing the existing cities.
So here's an experience which I've had all of my life. I will say, hey, I've got an idea. Why don't we do X? And then hundreds of people will say, you fool, oh you idiot, you idiot. If we do X, this will happen and the sky will fall and you'll be locked in jail and all your privacy will be gone. And then I wait a little while and then somebody says, oh, you remember that thing you were suggesting where you design the city from scratch to make it really good to live in? That's already been done and it's a city in Denmark and they've been living in it for years. And if you talk to the people who live there, they think it's just the best thing ever because the city was designed to make everything

convenient. So even meeting your neighbors was easy. Joining a gym is easy because it's five minutes away by foot. You wouldn't need to ever DoorDash because everything's five minutes away. So look at all the money you save on eating out because everything's five minutes away. So I will no longer entertain the argument that designing a city from scratch and making it really, really good to live i…
