“You're not getting drunk from having this bacteria. Forget the second one. The third one was basically something where it won't share this mutation with other bacteria. So it takes out the thing that usually allows bacteria to trade stuff. And there was a fourth one. We're going to have to look it up now because I forgot two of the four things.

Creates cavities in the 80s. I guess the scientists discovered this in one of a student's mouth. Like it had two mutations. And they genetically modified it to add a few more. Basically, one instead of lactic acid, it'll produce alcohol. Really trace them out. So this is like not even one drop.”

“So that's something we have to explore. For me, and maybe it's how I'm meditating as well, my system gets very sensitive and very observant. And I kind of also probably try to use meditation a little bit as like a mental exercise to improve my cognition, my focus, other things. And that focus as well.
