Yes humans, when I support you and I love you and I lift you up and I am building you and I'm excited, genuinely excited for every element of your success, I am going to function at my highest intellectual level. I am going to be the healthiest I am. So loving and supporting and lifting you is actually increasing my own intelligence and mind and brain health. However, we are in a zeitgeist of what can I get out of you? And if you've got more than me, how did you get it? I need that. They may not be saying that to you, but that's what's going on in their head. That is slowly creating toxic thoughts that are slowly creating a disruption of those microtubule things I spoke about and setting you up for disease and dementias.
