Anytime we watch pornography, masturbate and get sexual stimulation, our negative
00:00:04
emotions like fear and anxiety, that part of your brain just gets suppressed. And this is where people get into a lot
00:00:09
of trouble because suppressed emotions just grow over time. So the more guilty I become, the more of a loser I become,
00:00:14
the harder it is to date, the worse I feel about myself, the more I fall into pornography. So this becomes a
00:00:19
neurological cycle. But here's the real problem. All addictions are on the rise.
00:00:24
And this is why there's lots of stuff happening around us that affects our lives that we have no control over. For
00:00:29
example, because of the dating and mating crisis, we no longer have sexual connections, emotional connections, and
00:00:35
there's a part of the brain that is getting starved because sex is so important. So, there's something missing
00:00:41
in our lives. And that's what is necessary for addiction to grow. And this is creating huge problems because
00:00:46
it's sort of like if I fill up your stomach with unhealthy food, you don't have any micronutrients, but you're not
00:00:51
going to crave broccoli. So that's what's happening in our society. We're using porn as a substitute for
00:00:56
relationships and that's creating these really strong societal pressures, including a mass extinction event
00:01:02
because we've got 32-year-olds who do not know how they're going to ever have children. Men are getting really really
00:01:06
angry. There's like this incel movement. Like women feel safer with a wild bear than they do with a man. I mean, there's
00:01:12
there's a lot that I'm thinking about like what do you do about this? The whole reason we get trapped in a cycle
00:01:17
of addiction is because we have one solution to one problem. The moment that we create a second solution, a lot of
00:01:23
things change. And we'll get to that. What What about psychedelics? So, here's the real problem with psychedelics.
