So I'm in Austin, Texas.

And sorry if the audio is not quite where it should be, but that's, that's, I thought I had it all wired up, but not so much.

But in event, yeah, and I've so much interesting stuff coming across my, my, I've been willing to talk to you for a couple of days.

One is, I don't know if you saw all that data on conservative versus liberal folks.

And the fact that, guess what, mental illness much severe, much more severe, in more liberal and more, more healthy and more conservative.

Interesting.

Yeah, why do you think that is?

Well, I don't think you and I talked to this on the phone,

but I don't think we talked about this on the show,

that there's this trend towards narcissism. I don't think I described

this last week, but if I didn't, I'm going to do it again, which is that I listened to this

very, very bright astrophysicist, psychologists talking about the sort of general character

construct of people across time. And he was saying that back in early

history, we had a psychotic process, meaning if you heard voices and saw visions, you were,

there was nothing unusual about that. It wasn't pathologized. And in fact, you could form a religious,

you know, you can become sainted. And then we started moving towards rationalism and

individualism, and we became very, very narcissistic. And he, this guy's theory was in last 10

years, we'd become more borderline. And the really interesting about borderline is they're

unhappy, they're unregulated, they're depressed, and they tend towards hysteria.
