WEBVTT - #2155 Endorphins, Not Pheremones - David Gillespie 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520 Oh good everyone. It's Craig, Anthony, Harpert, Tiffany and cook 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.120 at David Bryan Gillespie. We should really learn his middle 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:08.080 name at some stage in the future so I can 0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.559 be somewhat accurate. TIF, how are you going? You finished 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.920 eating lunch about seven seconds ago. 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:16.120 I'm still eating it, bro, I'm still eating it. 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:17.680 What are you shoving in? 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.200 There's a little bit of a little bit of a 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.600 like a chucky moose, just a little snack to stop 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.400 me from getting angry mid gilespo episode. 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:30.720 Nobody needs that. No, no, we definitely don't. And what 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:33.400 a wonderful choice chocolate moose in the middle of the day. 0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.519 I mean, surely if that's not the height of nutritional 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:38.880 honey performance. 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.159 Hey, what could I say? I'm just you know, bowles 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:44.440 of kale and avocado all over the place. 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.279 I think you've told me this before. But being the 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.240 efficionado of chocolate that I know anyway, what's the number 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.080 one and two for you in terms of not necessarily 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.840 the fanciest or the most expensive, but just that you 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:57.720 like the most. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.640 I've been I've been on the old gold lately. Just 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:03.560 this deard old old gold. 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.639 That's your basic that's your running the mill. Ron Harper 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.800 eats that you and Noms could get together have an 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:09.640 old Gold party. 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.080 I'll bet you has Old Jamaica. Though you know I 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:18.640 spend an obscene amount of money on the what's it 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.680 called ceremonial grade cockow for my hot chocolates? That cow 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.560 cockow so expensive, But you know, I don't know. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.080 It sounds it sounds like a raught. But what is 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.480 I mean? I'm sure I'm the only one who doesn't know, 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.959 but ceremonial grade cockow doesn't really what does that mean? 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:37.000 I don't know. 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.399 If they're just great marketing and I'm spending I'm paying 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:41.440 through the nose for it. 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:44.679 Okay, hell gless, but that'll be. That'll be on buddy 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:50.280 substack next week. Ceremonial grade ceremonial grade cockw cock cow 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.520 Do you have giless? Buddy? You eat chocolate or no? 0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.880 Yeah? I do eat chocolate, but not not commercial chocolate. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.680 One of my daughters is very very good at making 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.120 chocolate with dextros rather than sugar, and so she hand 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:04.560 makes it. 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.800 I don't think she uses ceremonial grade cocal though. 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:17.720 I think she just buys Woolworths grade cockw. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:19.760 Does it taste like normal chocolate? 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.040 Yeah, it tastes exactly like normal chocolate. 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.640 So there's absolutely no reason to poison yourself just to 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:25.240 eat chocolate. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:30.000 And so there's no there's no comparable commercial equivalent of 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.080 what she makes. 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.560 There is, but you can only buy it in Germany. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.280 So there seems to be for some reason, an enormous 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.359 market for froctose free chocolate in Germany, and there's a 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.200 manufacturer there who makes a lot of it. So whenever 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.000 you're in Germany, you can always pick up a burrow 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:49.240 of chocolate there, but no one imports it to Australia, 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:50.840 so you have to make it yourself. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.600 What's your favorite, both of you, if you could, we'll 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.280 get to the actual show in a minute, but if 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.160 you could have a cheap food if you probably don't 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.840 care because you've got veins on your fucking and eyebrows. So, 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.480 and I've never seen Gillespie. I think he's actually some 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:12.480 kind of cyborg. But imagine if I saw gilespo and 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.519 he just looked like Brad Pitt and he had abs 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.440 on his eyelids, and ow, I'd have to. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.480 It's actually what I look like exactly exactly exactly. 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.440 What's your favorite cheap food? Tip? Like, if you could 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.240 have a food whatever it was, that that magically didn't 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.000 have any calories or negative impact, but you could scoff 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.480 it once a week, what would that be? 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:38.280 You say it like, I don't do that. That's not It's. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.880 All right, all right, Well forget the the precursor. What's 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.920 your favorite binge food other than chocolate? 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.440 Other than chocolate, pistachio cookies from the cookie Hey there 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:50.360 cookie up the road? 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:52.880 Do you have the binge gialspow? 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:55.119 Not really? 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:57.640 I mean I have a favorite food. There's probably two. 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.760 I really like hot chips, yeah, and I don't mind 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:06.160 the occasional bowl of ice cream. 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.120 Hot chips are kind of like there's a really broad 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.360 from the big fat wedges which you dip a little 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:18.560 bit of sour cream on or whatever, to the skinny 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.320 fries which are kind of disgusting. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.520 Yeah, and I prefer the sort of the in between ones, 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:27.280 you oldie traditional Australian hot chip shop chips, you know, 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.440 the sort of medium sized ones and. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:30.919 They come out and they look a bit yellow and 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.000 they're cooked in vegetablel. 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.599 No, we don't do that, cook them in tallow a 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.280 bit and makes them very nice. 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.080 Well, I don't know if anyone anything. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.800 I came across a restaurant the other day, I'll give 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:45.160 them a bit of a plug on your show, because 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.080 I think I like to encourage this sort of behavior. 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:49.359 I was in Sydney and I went to a place 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:54.960 called twenty four York and it is remarkably inexpenser for 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.359 a steak restaurant. And they have a menu which is 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:03.200 very straightforward. It's steak and only one kind. The only 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.920 choice you get it whether or not to have an 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:09.000 extra side, to have a side slid with it, and 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.280 it comes with bottomless chips cooked in tallow. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:17.080 Oh that's what you need. So I don't know everybody 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.360 needs that, but a one off can't hurt. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.840 I like the concept of bottomless chips. I mean they 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.200 give you such an enormous. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.320 Amount anyway that I didn't actually take advantage of that, 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.880 but I know people who. 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:31.719 Would some there. Someone can go there with a friend 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.680 and just share, so the friend to eat the stakes 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.080 out bottom Yeah yeah, yeah, that's what if we just 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.599 sit there for four hours reordering chips. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:44.280 I wouldn't like that experience because I've got no self control, 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.039 so that just the idea of that almost piques my 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.640 anxiety uncontrolled, unsupervised chip. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.839 But the big thing about it from my perspective was 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.440 not the nice way of doing a menu, which keeps 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.840 it really simple. It was the fact that the chips 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:03.120 cooked in tellow so I genuinely could eat as many 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.400 chips as I wanted, Not that I wanted that many, but. 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.360 Yeah, I liked the idea. And all of that was 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.360 for like twenty four bucks, which I think is a bargain. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.640 That is very cheap. And for the seven people who've 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.800 been living under a rock and do not know why 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:21.200 tallow and chips are acceptable on the Gillespie protocol, just 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:22.880 remind us why that's okay. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:27.400 So, the dangerous thing about chips is when they're cooked 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:29.960 in seed oils, and almost all chips in Australia now 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.360 are cooked in seed oils because the Heart Foundation has 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:37.360 been running around forcing people to do it. McDonald's sorry. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:41.000 The last major chain to switch from animal fat to 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.360 seed oil was a KFC who did it in twenty twelve. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.800 McDonald's did it in two thousand and four where they 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.479 switched from animal fat to seed oils. Now, if they'd 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.600 stuck with animal fat. I'd be telling you it's perfectly 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.640 fine to go and eat your chips at McDonald's because 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.360 animal fat is very very low in the Amiga six fats, 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.160 which are quiteangerous for us unfortunately. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:02.479 See it. 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.080 Oil is a chock full of them, and so you're 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.839 really doing it yourself and your children and your grandchildren 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.800 an enormous amount of harm every time you have anything 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.120 in that stuff. 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.600 You have you I mean, we're going to talk about well, 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.360 we're going to talk about a few things, but before 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.280 we go there, have you ever kind of I know 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.360 you're always analyzing the habits and behaviors and patterns of 0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:27.760 Australians and beyond, but you never looked at what like 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.840 the typical ossie eight one hundred years ago and compared 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:35.280 it to now just in terms of the nutritional value 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.880 in micros and macros and calories, and like, what do 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:43.480 you think in eighteen or nineteen twenty six, like a 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.280 daily intake compared to now. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.040 There's not good data for Australians, but there is good 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:54.000 data for Americans, which is probably a reasonable proxy. They've 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.240 been measuring this sort of thing since nineteen oh nine. 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.720 And if you have a look at the nineteen oh 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.760 nine data for an American You mind it pretty surprising 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:07.040 because they ate an awful lot of meat and eggs 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.760 because breakfast cereal didn't exist or barely existed, or only 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:16.120 for whack jobs. Who are you imprisoned in mental facilities? 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.920 You know the story of why corn flax was invented? Right, 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:26.480 people masturbating, And there's quite a story to that's just. 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.800 Leaned in and opened her eyes this story. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:37.600 So there was there was a a church. 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.800 So now you sound like a corn flake eater because 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:42.160 you do a lot of stuttering. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.440 And I'm trying to remember the names. 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:46.880 I don't want to get the names wrong, and I 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.400 wasn't really prepared to be talking about this, but I'm 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.679 pretty sure it's correct. Me if I'm wrong, Craig, is 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.720 it Seventh day Adventist? I really don't want to get 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:55.160 that wrong. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.120 Yeah, I'll check you too, you to check. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:00.840 Yeah, I think it is. 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.400 So there was a church had a real problem with 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:13.360 people eating meat as a because they felt that it 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:19.280 increased the propensity to masturbation and other things, and so 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.160 a part of their diet was that they had to 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.240 come up with an alternative to what was then the 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:27.199 standard American breakfast, which was basically meat and eggs, and 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.560 they invented what we now call corn flakes, which was 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:38.600 a vegetarian version of you know, the standard American breakfast. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.520 And so yeah, that's just check on that religion that 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:43.800 I've got the right religion there. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:48.040 Well, I'm going to go. Yes, conflicts are strongly connected 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:48.800 to the Seventh. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:52.840 Day a Day Adventist and one of their founders was 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:54.120 one of the Kellogg brothers. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.839 That's right, yes, well two of them, invented by doctor 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.440 John Harvey Kellogg and his brother will Keith Kellogg in 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.679 the eighth nine. In the late nineteenth century, the brothers 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:10.360 are working out Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, USA, experimenting 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.480 with foods for patients. In eighteen ninety four, they accidentally 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.840 discovered that cooked wheat left sitting too long could be 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:21.079 rolled into flakes. They later switched from wheat to corn, 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.920 creating what became corn flakes. Well, what an interesting genesis 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.960 that was for the old breakfast cereal. 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.480 Hey, and now it's what we all have. We're all 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:39.560 accidentally vegetarian for breakfast. But at the turn of the century, Americans, sorry, 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:44.800 excuse me, Americans and presumably Australians, probably Australians were eating 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:50.000 mostly cooked breakfasts, breakfasts for breakfast, cooked food for breakfasts, 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.680 and wash. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.760 You never get tongue tied. I'm making a bloody reel 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:55.280 out of that. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.080 Yeah, I got a frobm a throat. Must have eaten 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:04.640 too many frogs for breakas anyway, So the diet has 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:10.280 changed fairly significantly because we've transitioned away from a diet 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.360 which was largely centered around the idea that you have 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.600 two main meals in a day, So an agricultural focused 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.959 diet which was to give you a big, heavy meal 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.360 for breakfast to keep you going when you're out in 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.520 the fields all day, and then give you a follow 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.679 up meal at nighttime when you came home. So there 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.959 wasn't really any sort of a real sense of something 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:34.880 called lunch, and we've sort of inserted that. As the 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:39.160 Industrial Revolution took over and people started to have long 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.360 shifts in factories, they sort of inserted a meal in 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:47.559 the middle. But what's in those meals is quite interesting 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:52.040 because it's transitioned away from a largely meat an egg 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.280 based diet with vegetables. If you couldn't get meat and 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:01.040 eggs into what would own be described if you were 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.080 looking at it from their perspective. A vegetarian diet which 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:10.240 is largely wheat based, flour based, bread based, that kind 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.040 of thing, which is now the majority of the modern diet. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.960 Just remind me what the original intention was behind the 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:22.719 corn flakes and the masturbation? What was it to reduce masturbation? 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:28.319 Well, because they were vegetarian, so they had to have 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.080 something that you could eat for breakfast that was vegetarian. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.560 What has that got to do with massive? 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:40.880 Sorry they felt I know you're focusing on this, but. 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.360 I just want to see if it worked out as 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:43.120 a concept. 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.760 They believed that meat inflame of the passions, so to speak, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.520 r and would cause you to indulge. 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.200 A little bit more than would otherwise be the case. 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.000 Right, So we're going to take it from a tasty 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.319 meat based diet to corn flakes and that should take that. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:01.600 That's just sort that out. 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:07.040 That should fix that quick sticks. Have you ever just 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.640 out of interest how to look at One of my 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.880 friends is a farmer, and he's always, not always, but 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.560 talking about semi regularly about the quality of the soil 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.920 and what things are grown in and the difference between 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.360 something you know, a crop might be a good environment, 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.240 might be good weather and all of that and good planning, 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.120 but the soil's crap is our soil getting crapper and 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:34.760 crapper and doing giving us poorer and poorer yields. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.920 Probably not. I mean, Australia starts really behind. 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.800 The eight ball there because we've got the worst soil 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.400 for growing stuff in in the world, all continent with 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.239 bad soil with not much nutrients. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.520 So we're in a bad way. 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.080 So we have to en nutrient, which we do with 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.240 fertilizers to get the kind of production we have. But 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.560 if you just step back and say, let's ignore the 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.319 fact that we're pumping a lot of fertilized are into 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.360 the soil, Australia's soil is probably better now than it's 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.560 ever been because of all of that, right right, all. 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.240 Right, Well, I want to touch on something you wrote. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.920 It's about five or six days ago, now, seven days ago, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.480 a week ago, the tech to meth pipeline. If you 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.240 could give us a snapshot this. Every time Australia flushes, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.360 the truth comes out. And right now our sewers are 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:28.520 spilling our darkest secrets. The latest national wastewater data is 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:33.280 exposed an eleven billion dollar catastrophe Australians are quietly consuming. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.280 Listen to this tip, This fucking mind blowing five hundred 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.880 and twenty three million hits of methan fetter many year, 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.640 securing our grim title as the second highest consumer of 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:50.480 the drug meth on Earth. But this story isn't about 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.880 illegal drugs or organized crime. It's terrifying. Look at what 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.880 happens when big tech breaks our brains, the medical system 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.640 hits its legal limit, and the dopamine star population turns 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.680 to the black market just to function. And here's a 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.480 couple of stats. Australian's consumed, as it said, five and 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.440 twenty three million doses of myth last year. That equates 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.080 to roughly twenty hits for every single man, woman and 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.240 child in the country. The illegal drug market is now 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:23.720 worth fourteen point three billion, with meth accounting for eleven 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:28.440 billion of that fourteen point three A technologically induced focus 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:34.600 epidemic has driven unprecedented demand pharmaceutical stimulants. Strict legal limits 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:39.960 on ADHD medications are inadvertently funneling desperate patients in to 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.240 the black market. Because they can't get enough of what 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.280 they want legally or by prescription, I guess. And the 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:51.560 pipeline is fast tracking and general general sorry, generational mental 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.680 health crisis and skyrocketing rates of permanent psychosis. So nothing 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.320 at all to worry about, David. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.760 No, nothing to worry about at all. Let's start at 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:05.160 the top with the report. So you and I think 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:09.560 have talked about this before, that the National Crime Commission 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:14.880 conducts this survey of our wastewater and has been doing 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:17.320 it for quite some time. So they've got really high 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:21.960 quality long term stats about not what we say we do, 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:27.920 but what our toilets tell the Crime Commission we do. 0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:32.240 And so they know exactly what people are taking based 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.680 on what chemicals are in the sewer system. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.000 And they're not the only ones. This is done all 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:38.440 around the world. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:42.400 There's now twenty six countries involved in this, and so 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.480 they've got really really accurate long term measurements of this. 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.360 And I've got a new I've got a new title 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:51.840 for you next article, a book. It's called Your Poo 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:59.920 and you the great self, the Great Revealer of the bog. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.640 I mean, most people will be surprised that they do it, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.720 but they do, and the reason they do it is 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.200 it's the only way you can get really statistically accurate 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.360 information about illegal drugs, and so they measure for everything. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.680 But the one that's just absolutely blowing them away is meth. 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.320 It's now responsible for eight out of every ten dollars 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:27.359 spent on drugs in this country. It grew by twenty 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:30.880 three percent in the last year. The consumption of myth 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.320 grew by twenty three percent. That's never happened before in 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.639 the history of this report. They normally get, you know, 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:37.399 sometimes it goes up a little bit and sometimes it 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.520 goes down a little bit, but this kind of absolute 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:44.280 extreme growth and not just the you know, the others 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:46.159 grew as well, heroin and cocaine, we're all up in 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.520 the twenty percents as well, but to have something growing 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:54.200 that fast to those levels, and like I said, now 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.600 number two in the world for per capita consumption of myth. 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.119 Number one is the United States, but we're giving them 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.880 a run for their money. And that's a real concern 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.920 because one in three meth users as a psychotic event. 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.439 So psychotic events just so everyone knows, I mean, people 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.879 throw those terms around without really understanding what they mean. 0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:24.840 A psychotic event means the person believes that the people 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.720 around them are actively trying to harm them, and that 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.560 it is perfectly acceptable to harm them in return to 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:37.800 defend yourself. So a psychotic event is not nothing. It 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:43.359 is a very dangerous thing to have occur and having 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.040 people then it's not something that they can control. They 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.639 genuinely believe that they are in danger and must do 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:54.879 whatever it takes to defend themselves. So increasingly we hear 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.960 about crimes being committed by people, and the crime is 0:18:58.000 --> 0:18:59.840 often described as some of the person was having a 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.280 mental health episode, and usually what they mean is a 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:07.840 psychotic event. So we are ramping up the number of 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:11.479 people in our society exposed to drug that producers a 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.760 psychotic event one in three times. 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.720 That's dangerous. That is really dangerous. 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.920 But the interesting thing from the perspective of someone who 0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:27.280 writes about mental health is why, why is this suddenly happening? 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:31.040 Why in Australia we've always had access to meth, we've 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.000 always had access to cocaine and heroin as illegal drugs. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.439 Why is it suddenly happening when we've got better and 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.320 stronger law enforcement than we've ever had before. Better border 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.119 controls than we've ever had before. What's causing this to happen? 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.000 And I'm putting it together with something else in this article, 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.520 which is I'm saying we've got another type of emfetamine 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:56.560 drug which is exploding in use. Legally prescribed ampheta means 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:01.320 for ADHD grew more than thirty percent in the last year, 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.199 and more than thirty percent the year before that, and 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.880 more than thirty percent the year before that. We are 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:12.560 on a runaway train with legally prescribed and phetamines for ADHD. Yes, Now, 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:14.239 as I said to you before, and some of your 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.160 listeners will understand this, and I'll probably bored to death 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:19.359 for the next minute or so, but let's just step 0:20:19.400 --> 0:20:22.400 back as to why ADHD people are being given amphetamines. 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:24.960 Because it's sort of counter and churitor. You've got a 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.840 kid bouncing off the walls. You don't sit to say 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.359 to yourself, well, you know what that kid needs is 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:30.040 a bit of speed. 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.959 That's really going to help. But that's in fact how 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:35.560 it works. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:39.639 So the reason that this works is that when you 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:42.600 become addicted to something, which is what happens when you're 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:46.439 programmatically addicted to social media, or gaming or gambling or 0:20:46.480 --> 0:20:51.600 anything else, nicotine, alcohol, anything. The level of dopamine required 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.320 by your brain in order for you to function normally increases. 0:20:56.000 --> 0:21:01.159 You become you become immune the effects of dopamine, and 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.920 you require more, and that chasing of more and more 0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:09.040 and more is what we call addiction. But that moving 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.280 of the baseline level means that in order for you 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.399 to just function, you need a massive dopamine hit. The 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.840 fastest way to get that is to take an amphetamine, 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:23.680 which is a dopamine stimulant. So that's what's happening in 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:28.760 the illegal drug market, which is it's growing massively the 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.879 number of stimulants. We're up to two hundred million doses 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:37.439 a year of legal amphetamine doses. That's people being handed 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.160 for their ADHD. 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:40.840 One hundred million. 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:45.960 Yes, so this is you know, it's still not a 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.399 patch on the illegal market. But what happens is that 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.639 once you're on that conveyor belt, the amphetamine hit makes 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:58.040 things worse longer term because it also ratchets up you're 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.000 required for dopamine. So you need a little bit more 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:01.520 next time, in a little bit more next time, a 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.320 little bit more next time. The trouble is doctors can't 0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:09.480 keep up in your dose of amphetamines because it's a 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:10.399 dangerous thing to do. 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:11.800 They're highly addictive. 0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:15.040 Drugs and they're not going they wouldn't be medically responsible 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:16.200 to do it, and it is illegal. 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.720 So there are strict prescription. 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:22.720 Limits on how much amphetamine a doctor can give you 0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:26.479 for your ADHD, And when they hit those limits, you 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:33.080 just don't suddenly get better. You're just told, unfortunately, I 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:36.440 can't give you any more. And I believe that's what's 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:40.800 driving the demand in the illegal meth amphetamine market, where 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:44.640
