Seeing Wiz Khalifa running a seven fifty mile pace just proves that we got it wrong. Western culture, you got it wrong. Welcome to the greatest show on Earth. And action. When it comes to mind altering substances, I would like to leave out ones made by families where it would actually alter your brain chemistry so that you thought that you needed it for the rest of your life. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I remember growing up and being scared to bits that if I smoked a little pot, I would deflate on a couch. I'll be honest with you. This played with my brain in ways I can't quite understand. But I was under the impression that the cause and effect of using pot was, I will now be a degenerate, my whole life will fall apart. And that's what I was taught for most of my life. Wiz Khalifa is proof that you can smoke all of it and also be a top point 1% human being as a better, in the gym, and now running. This guy has one of the biggest hits to have ever existed on YouTube. He's put out, like, three albums this year. He's also running five k's through the hills. I mean, at some point, you have to ask yourself, maybe we got the cause and effect thing wrong. And that's what brings me to a very interesting point. In America, every time we start a war with something, everything gets worse. Every time we think we understand the cause and the effect, everything gets worse. They said we're gonna fix homelessness. It got worse. We learned everything about the brain. Depression got worse. We know everything about nutrition. Obesity rates and health issues have only gotten worse. What if the problem is cause and effect? As a youth, I was told that my life would fall apart if I smoked tier pot. It was inevitable. But what I've seen now more than ever is that there are people who have problems in their lives, and maybe the issue is the reason why they do the action. Now I'm not saying the smoking pot or drinking anything is good or bad. I'm just making a point of emphasis that what if the issue isn't actually the thing and is more the mindset or the reason for the person doing it. Cause and effect works in a lot of situations. Oh, I didn't eat breakfast. Okay. Well, that's why I'm hungry. Oh, I feel unwell. Well, that's why I went to the hospital. But that doesn't actually carry into every use case. And maybe if we gave people the tools to realize that they actually have more power than they think, perhaps they might be running five k's after smoking a Ziv. I don't no. That's just me, though. Am I wild in? Excuse me. My jeans leave bad my shoes as Gucci. Hoes like who he on the paper chase don't waste my loose leaf. A nigga rank feels like an L's on the beach, but I still move with the goons on a loose leash. Some call it weird. Hoes call it unique.
