:36:00
Yeah, I don't think anybody does,
:36:01
and people don't want
to admit it, but it's like we just...
:36:03
we have this innate set points.
:36:05
- Aha.
- You know, it's like...
:36:06
nothing much that happens to us
changes our disposition.
:36:10
Really, you believe that?
:36:10
I think so. I read this study
where they followed people
:36:13
who won the lottery, and people
who had become paraplegic, right.
:36:16
You'd think that...
:36:17
you know, one extreme
is gonna make you...
:36:20
euphoric, and the other suicidal.
:36:21
But the study shows that
after about 6 months,
:36:24
- Uhum
- Right...
:36:25
As soon as people got used to
their new situation,
:36:27
they were more or less the same.
:36:29
- The same?
- Well, yeah...
:36:31
Like if they were basically
an optimistic, jovial person,
:36:34
they're now an optimistic,
jovial person, in a wheel chair.
:36:36
If they're a petty miserable asshole,
:36:38
ok, they're a petty miserable asshole
with a new Cadillac, a house and a boat.
:36:42
So, you now be forever depressed,
:36:44
no matter what great
things happen in my life?
:36:46
Definitely!
:36:47
- Great!
- No, come on...
:36:48
Are you depressed now?
:36:50
No, no, I'm not depressed.
:36:52
But, sometimes I worry that
:36:53
I'll get to the end of my life feeling
I haven't done all I've all I wanted to do.
:36:57
Oh, what do you wanna do?
:36:58
Oh, I want to paint more,
I wanna...
:37:02
play my guitar everyday,
:37:03
I wanna learn Chinese,
:37:05
I wanna write more songs...
:37:07
There're so many things I wanna do,
:37:09
and end up doing not much.
:37:12
All right, well,
let me ask you this:
:37:14
Do you believe in, like...
:37:15
ghosts or spirits?
:37:18
Uhm, no.
:37:20
- No?
- No.
:37:21
Ok, what about reincarnation?
:37:24
Not at all.
:37:25
God?
:37:26
No.
:37:28
That sounds terrible.
:37:29
No, no, no
:37:30
But, at the same time
:37:31
I don't wanna be one of those people
that don't believe in any kind of magic.
:37:34
So, then astrology.
:37:35
- Yes, of course!
- There we go!
:37:37
I mean, that makes sense, right?
:37:38
You're a Scorpio, I'm a Sag,
so we get along.
:37:44
No, no.
:37:44
There's an Einstein quote
I really, really like.
:37:47
He said: "If you don't believe in any
kind of magic, or mystery,
:37:51
basically, (you're) as good as dead."
:37:54
Yeah, I like that.
:37:54
I've always felt there was some kind
of mystical chord in the Universe.
:37:58
More recently, I started to think that...
