00:00:00
I'm writing a thing called the ketamine
00:00:01
economy and that is ketamine supposedly
00:00:03
empowers you to dissociate and you can
00:00:05
see your issues and your addictions and
00:00:06
your problems and forgive yourself and
00:00:08
have a better handle on stuff and people
00:00:10
say it's a world breakthrough. The most
00:00:11
dangerous thing I think about the world
00:00:13
we live in in America right now is that
00:00:15
if you live in America and you're in the
00:00:17
0.1% you are not invested in the
00:00:20
well-being of America. Why do you care
00:00:22
about infrastructure? You don't care
00:00:23
about TSA. You don't care about
00:00:24
airports. You go to Teter Bro and you're
00:00:26
flying your own plane. Do you care about
00:00:27
the fact that 40% of third graders can't
00:00:29
read? No. You have your own private
00:00:31
schools where they spend $75,000 per
00:00:33
student. Do you care about policing and
00:00:35
safety? No. You live in a door man
00:00:37
building in a neighborhood that is so
00:00:38
overpoliced and has so many cameras.
00:00:40
You're just fine. Do you care about the
00:00:41
health of America? No. You have
00:00:43
concierge medical services that give you
00:00:45
everything you need. The people who
00:00:46
control our government or have a
00:00:48
disproportionate influence have totally
00:00:50
dissociated. We have to figure out
00:00:52
economic policies that give the
00:00:54
wealthiest people in our nation a vested
00:00:56
interest in the success of America.
