2 Ideas to Help Prisoners Become Better People

December 30, 2020 by Gabe Leave a Comment

Quick Fact

-Prisoners are often angry and/or resentful, and letting them have a healthy outlet is an idea to help them become better people.

Intro

We have people in our society who are deemed too offensive to live among us. Violence, drugs, suspicious activity – you name it. Some people find themselves locked behind bars, whether they deserve it or not. 

I’m not here to plea the innocence of these people, but rather I’m concerned with their current state of being and how it can be improved. Today I will present two ideas that will improve the quality of life in prisons across America!

Idea Number One

He’s running down the street as fast as he can with the police in hot pursuit. He cuts through his neighbor’s backyard, waking him up in the process, and making him quite angry. The police eventually catch him and pin him to the ground, and force his hands behind his back. He’s handcuffed and, after due process, he’s sent to a jail cell.

Depending on the jail he may have things to do, or he may not. He may have recess, work, mealtimes. He may even have access to drugs. However, there is one thing that he probably doesn’t have access to, and that is a punching bag.

Yes, a punching bag. Let me explain!

Prison inmates often (if not always) harbor intense amounts of anger. If anger is allowed to build without release for an extended period of time it can manifest as a criminal act, since ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. 

It’s important to give inmates a way to release their anger. They shouldn’t have to sit and let it build up all over again because it

may very well manifest as another criminal act if they’re ever released. This results in a vicious cycle that isn’t helpful for anybody.

It’s also important to give them limited access to the punching bag on a predictable time schedule. This is for psychological reasons. If you give them a punching bag in their cell then they may never use it, since it’s always available to them. However, if it’s only available from 3:00 pm-3:30 pm every day, some of the prisoners will start to anticipate beforehand and be more willing to participate. 

Depending on the layout of the prison there can be punching bags in the main room, outside, the recess area, etc. The prisoners should be encouraged to punch the bags as hard as they can for at least 30 minutes, and this will help them live out their anger. This will make life easier for them and the staff who work with them every day.

Idea Number Two

We have AA, Alcoholics Anonymous. Almost everyone is familiar with the program since it’s been around for a long time. 

I think prisoners should be required to attend PA (Prisoner’s Anonymous) meetings. The reason for this is simple. When prisoners live together inside of prison they begin to make connections with each other. This connection building can make them even more dangerous if and when they’re released back into the world, especially if they’re still harboring excessive levels of resentment.

If it becomes a mandatory requirement for different prisoners of different backgrounds to sit and make connections with one another (especially with psychological professionals and guards in the room) there will be an absence of one nasty thing in particular – loneliness. We want our prisoners to heal, and the best way to do that is by teaching them how to make strong, genuine connections with each other so they don’t feel isolated and ignored, two feelings that can sometimes lead to violence and the sense of needing revenge.

Conclusion 

Beyond these two ideas, we should aim to make our jails a place of recovery, not a place of stagnation. Or worse, resentment. If prisoners have a way to express their anger and a way to form genuine connections with other prisoners/people while they’re there, then everybody will have an easier time, staff, inmates, and the world alike.

Sincerely,

-Gabriel

The Physical Effects of LSD

December 23, 2020 by Gabe Leave a Comment

Quick Facts

-LSD increases communication within the different networks in our brains! 

-LSD is extremely neuro-regenerative, even more so than psilocybin!

-We can reduce the potential risk of consuming LSD by taking the necessary precautions!

Intro

LSD is one of the main psychedelics we have access to in America, and many a report has been made about its wonderful effects! Personally, I’ve experienced a huge relief in depression after ingesting LSD for the first time, and it’s prompted me to write about it and share it with you!

I’ve always wondered what the physical effects of LSD are. Many people who write about it online put an unnecessary and untruthful negative spin on it, so I’m going to enjoy clearing everything up and finding the truth of the matter!

LSD Makes Us Trip

Those of us who have firsthand knowledge of the effects of LSD may even be wondering why I’m writing this post in the first place! After all, the mental effects of LSD are so positive and so profound (even the “bad trips”) that only talking about them almost always justifies its usage. 

It makes us trip, we begin to see the world through an “enhanced color filter,” we can see fractals when we close our eyes, maybe even the white light at times. We interact with people with an extremely amazing attitude, and when we meditate on LSD, what we experience can definitely be described as enlightening.

But What About The Physical Effects?

Perhaps you’re like me and you’re wondering, “how does it affect my body, anyway?”

We know some things, but not as much as we’d like to. There are some surface effects such as pupil dilation, reduced appetite, wakefulness, sweating, increased blood pressure/heart rate, tremors, and nausea. I always eat a hearty meal before taking LSD and I’ve never felt sick, so I’m not sure how often you would actually experience nausea unless you’re afraid and the fear makes you queasy.

LSD decreases communication in parts of the brain that make up the Default Mode Network, and the DMN is a collection of hub centers that actively work to control and repress consciousness. On the same note, it increases communication between areas of our brain that don’t normally communicate, and over time it can set up new entire connections!

It activates our serotonin receptors, specifically the 5-HT2A subtype, and it “happens to be even better at activating serotonin receptors than serotonin itself, so it essentially increases the normal levels of signaling by serotonin…” It temporarily disables your brain’s serotonin security guards by increasing the level of active 5-HT molecules. It does this by disaffecting your autoreceptors, and the autoreceptors are a safety feature in the brain that reduces levels of certain neurotransmitters, etc. So, not only does it activate our serotonin receptors, it encourages the releasing of more serotonin and changes the receptors (the “keys” so to speak) to be “more receiving!”

It encourages neuroplasticity by increasing the number of dendritic spines on cortical neurons, as shown in the figure below! Loss of these structures is closely associated with depression and other disorders, and the strengthening of these structures is associated with the opposite! The same study found that “the frequency and strength of neural currents were increased for many hours after the psychedelic compounds had been removed.”

LSD creates a tolerance that lasts for roughly 3 days. It usually creates a cross-tolerance with other psychedelics, particularly psilocybin. I personally recommend giving yourself at least 2 weeks to mentally process the experience, or as you deem fit for you. Also, it stays in your body for roughly 1 day.

No, LSD does not stay in your spinal fluid. No, it probably will not make you crazy. Sometimes it can quicken the maturity of a latent mental illness, especially schizophrenia, so I recommend checking yourself and your family history for such illnesses before ingesting it, otherwise, you’re going to be fine with a proper set, setting, and dose 🙂

And lastly, I’ve had a very hard time finding any negative side effects! I’ve been keeping an eye out for a few years and, granted, I’ve seen some bad trip stories, but nothing credible that suggests LSD hurts your physical body. Even overdosing can sometimes have a good outcome, although I do not recommend overdosing! Please, take 60-100mc (1 or 2 tabs) for your first time 🙂

Great! Why Not Take It More Often? 

You may be thinking, “if LSD helps our body so much, why aren’t we ingesting it more often?!”

This is a great question, and there are a few reasons why. It’s illegal, it’s a fairly unknown substance, it hasn’t received the research it deserves, and buying it off of the street can result in ingesting something that isn’t LSD.

I’ve already gone into the absurdity of the law when it comes to psychedelics in my psilocybin post, so I’ll keep it brief here. LSD remains a Schedule I, meaning it has no recognized therapeutic benefits, even though many studies have proven the opposite. The police do not do their research on psychedelics and turn the other cheek when they see someone with LSD/DMT/psilocybin, etc. Therefore, my conclusion is that it’s best to grow/make/obtain these substances and do them behind the government’s back as much as possible, because they clearly do not care about or support our wellbeing in this regard, and because it’s (most likely) healthy for you.

As far as being unknown, information spreads rapidly anymore. I recommend sharing this post with everyone you know, especially if they’re doubters, and show them the scientific studies that prove LSD has therapeutic benefits!

While we haven’t researched it as much as we want to, we’ve done quite enough as it is. We can also fill the gap by talking with people who have taken the substance themselves because they’ll (more than likely) remember the positive experience and/or positive change, even if they had a “bad trip.”

Lastly, the most grounded danger (in my opinion) is buying LSD off of the street and taking it without testing it. Making LSD is quite difficult and involved, so it’s probably impractical to do it yourself, however, buyer beware – you might be purchasing something that isn’t genuine LSD, and I’ve even heard stories of LSD being laced with stuff like meth and crack. That’s why I highly encourage you to buy from people you love and trust and/or test your LSD with an inexpensive test kit.

Final Thoughts

While all of this may sound complicated, I feel as if LSD is something worth striving to obtain and ingest along with psilocybin and DMT. The physical benefits are stellar, the mental benefits are incredible, they’re simply great things to put into your body… With the proper set and setting recommended!

Like I mentioned in the psilocybin post, I’m a little scared of putting the law in a negative light when it comes to psychedelics, but the truth will be told – I don’t care if their intentions are malicious, indifferent, or if they’re simply unaware, I’m not going to let them keep these things in the dark if I can help it!

Conclusion

Thank you so much for reading my article! I’m truly grateful that you’re here, and I hope this information helped you in one way or another. I’ll see you in the next post!

The Physical Effects of Psilocybin

December 18, 2020 by Gabe Leave a Comment

 Quick Facts

-Psilocybin has been proven to regenerate our brains and be very beneficial to our bodies!

-The mental effects of psilocybin are often seen as incredibly healing and eye-opening, among other things!

-We can reduce the potential risk of consuming psilocybin by taking the necessary precautions!

Intro

Psilocybin is the psychoactive molecule found in ‘certain’ mushrooms that some of us consume! It’s been the initiator of many psychedelic, loving, playful, transformative experiences that often permanently change people’s lives for the better.

However, something I’ve wanted to know for a long time is how the chemical physically affects our bodies. I’ve come across some information over the years but I’ve purposely withheld from researching until I decided to write this post. Let’s go on an adventure together, shall we?

Magic Mushrooms Are Best Known For… 

…their mind-blowing effects! These kinds of mushrooms are special in the sense that they can show us some very deep and wonderful parts of the mind, and because they can show us what enlightenment is really all about. I wouldn’t be surprised if 50 years of meditation cannot bring any of us to the kind of enlightenment that 5 grams of magic mushrooms produce, although I haven’t meditated for 50 years so I can’t confirm from first-hand experience 😉

I say ‘can’ because psilocybin mushrooms don’t do the enlightening for you – you do. The experience just helps you a little bit, kind of like a mushroom in Mario Kart. You get a good boost but you still drive around the track yourself.

But, How Does Psilocybin Biologically Affect Us?

I argue that the physical effects of psilocybin are just as important as the mental experience itself! Partly, of course, because the ingestion of the physical molecule is the reason the experience happens in the first place. 

It’s interesting because, when we ingest psilocybin, our body turns it into another chemical called psilocin. Psilocin has almost the exact same molecular structure as serotonin, so you can guess what happens when our body converts psilocybin to psilocin – it attaches itself to our serotonin receptors, specifically the 5-HT2A receptor. It has to pass through the blood-brain barrier to do this, and it also invites itself right into your bloodstream.

This is the moledule structure of serotonin
These are the molecule structures of psilocybin and psilocin

Psilocybin mushrooms generally feel good to consume, like how it feels good to produce a balanced amount of serotonin. This seems to be the nature of the chemical itself! Also, psilocybin has been proven to initiate neurogenesis and neuroplasticity which helps depressed people since their neurogenesis and neuroplasticity are often impaired. These two reasons are good enough to assert psilocybin as an alternative to SSRIs for curing depression, and this assertion is not farfetched in the least! I speak from personal experience 😉

It’s well-known that they make your blood pressure increase for a short time, so beware if you’re ingesting psilocybin with high blood pressure. Fear makes your blood pressure increase, so relaxing before and during consumption is very ideal, and I recommend avoiding high doses (or perhaps, psychedelic mushrooms entirely) if you have chronic blood pressure problems until you do some research. 

It amplifies all of our senses, including our physical senses, which is great for doing physical activities!

You may experience nausea when you eat psychedelic mushrooms. Eating a raw vegan diet 3 days before the experience and eating nothing the day of the experience greatly lessens the possibility of being sick!

This is all I can find, but to be honest, the fact that psilocybin has physical effects that are this amazing along with the mental and emotional benefits is astonishing to my eyes! It really makes me wonder why we haven’t accepted these little things like we’ve accepted oranges and apples, with a little more caution, of course.

If It’s That Good, Why Don’t We Ingest It Regularly? 

That’s a good question, especially if we’re depressed and the conventional methods aren’t working for us. 

The primary reason, from what I can tell, is because it simply isn’t in our minds or part of our intentions. And beyond that, even if we’ve heard of the amazing effects of psilocybin we may be suspicious of whether or not it’s actually good for us.

The secondary reason is that they’re illegal. Many of us respect the law a little too much and don’t give much thought to the possibility that they don’t know what’s best for us, and so even if we properly inform ourselves as to the amazing effects of psilocybin we may be afraid of getting caught and thrown in jail.

As far as the first point is concerned, it’s no longer a question or a theory – it’s a fact that psilocybin is healthy and helpful for our brains and bodies! Most of the sources I cite below are based on real, credible scientific studies that were carried out just to obtain an unbiased view of the effects of psilocybin. Almost all of them are positive and end with something like “more research is needed in this field,” which is a lot better than “we should never test the effects of psilocybin ever again since they’re harmful to the human body.”

And for the second point, this is often where I become angry – the government keeps psilocybin, LSD, and DMT as schedule I-C substances, and Schedule I-C drugs have “…a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.” Psychonauts already understand the ways in which we can safely ingest these substances, and I’ve explained how we can safely integrate psychedelics into our society here, so they shouldn’t be illegal whatsoever.

However, since they keep them on schedule I status many people assume that these are just more drugs that should be avoided. Many people view psychedelics with a suspicious eye simply because the government, who aren’t necessarily the smartest people, have a certain opinion about them.

Not to mention that if a cop sees you with mushrooms they’ll probably just throw you in jail, they usually don’t stop to think that “gee, since psychedelic mushrooms are good for you and healthy for your body, and since the law should is wrong in this regard, maybe I should turn the other way.” They want to make detective or otherwise uphold the law with no questions asked, and if you can be a stepping stone to their goal they won’t mind in the slightest.

This is where intelligence comes in. Since most of us benefit from ingesting psilocybin we should do everything we can to do so behind the government’s back. It’s kind of like snatching and eating a cookie from your parent’s cookie jar – you have to do it before they see you or else you’ll get in trouble! Grow your own mushrooms, know your local area, know your local police routines (where they go and when, and where they don’t go), take them when you’re least likely to get caught. Why? Because the people who outlawed psychedelics probably did it for nefarious reasons, reasons that we don’t need to adhere to today. We’re adults who can make our own decisions, and I encourage you to make the decision that’s best for you!

I say “most of us” because people who are mentally ill (or who have a family history of mental illness) and people with high blood pressure/cardiovascular problems probably shouldn’t ingest psilocybin. I recommend getting tested if you’re suspicious of one or the other, otherwise, if you’re a healthy person you’re going to be okay 🙂

Final Thoughts 

I apologize for the (probably unnecessary) rant about the law, I’m sick and tired of their corrupt and detrimental ways. 

When it comes to buying psychedelic mushrooms I would be very, very careful. Many people who sell them are shady and afraid of getting caught, I encourage you to only buy them from somebody you trust, love, and respect, otherwise, I encourage you to grow them yourself.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading! I’m so excited that you chose to learn about psilocybin, if you’re curious about other psychedelic substances you can read my post on DMT! See you in the next one!

On DMT

December 15, 2020 by Gabe Leave a Comment

Quick Facts

-DMT is an important molecule, and it has benefited many people in the past!

-We don’t know for sure whether or not we produce DMT within our bodies, although some experts have used logic and their knowledge of biology to deduce that we do!

-We can reduce the potential risk of consuming DMT by taking the necessary precautions!

Intro

Dymethaltriptamine, otherwise known as DMT, is quite the important molecule! There is a mix of controversy, positive stories, and interesting stories surrounding DMT so I’ll enjoy clearing everything up as much as I can!

What Is DMT, and What Is Its Function?

DMT is a molecule that’s found in many different types of plants because it helps reduce herbivory, which is the consumption of plants by animals. DMT is a defense mechanism for the plant to prevent too many of their kind from being consumed too quickly. 

That’s great and all, but what does that mean for us? 

Well, we humans have been ingesting this molecule for thousands of years in the form of ayahuasca! Ayahuasca is a plant that’s made into a psychoactive drink by combining the plant (since it contains DMT) and a plant (such as marplan) that acts as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) together. The purpose of DMT in this context was to have spiritual experiences that people describe as wonderful, healing, intense, amazing, and life-changing. And also, because we probably produce the chemical in our bodies without any assistance from these plants!

Let’s start with my latter assertion first… The controversy of whether or not we naturally produce DMT in our own bodies has been going on for a long, long time, so I went into the wonderful world of the internet to find some answers either way!

I found this post and it introduced this study. They figured out that the rat brain is able to synthesize and produce DMT, and that it was being produced from several parts of the brain including the neocortex and the hippocampus. They came to the conclusion that “DMT is produced naturally from neurons of the mammalian brain and may contribute to some aspects of higher-order brain functions (such as conscious information processing, or learning/memory, etc), though much remains to be explored experimentally.”

Mighty interesting… But even still, no one has directly confirmed that DMT is naturally produced in our bodies other than Borjigin who I quoted above. Borjigin was experimenting with rats, however, and though many have used logic and their knowledge of biology to confirm that DMT is produced in our brains it hasn’t been scientifically confirmed as of the publish date of this post.

As A Psychedelic

Then we have DMT as a psychedelic. Some of us drink the ayahuasca brew and some of us smoke it, but either way, it’s been said that it’s the most powerful psychedelic on the planet, especially when it’s smoked. 

There have been reports of people talking to our ancestors and/or higher beings, seeing and feeling intense geometry, going underground, going to a circus-like setting, and having life-changing experiences. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I’ve come across who took DMT conveys an extremely positive message with tones of love and playfulness, almost as if they felt something so positive and so intense that they just had to share it with me!

This is mostly why DMT is so special. Sure, we may produce it in our bodies and we may be able to produce extra through natural means, but the real meat and potatoes is consuming it from the outside; it’s so powerful and so transformative that it goes far beyond any state provided by open-mindedness, meditation, or religion – and these kinds of states and experiences can be very powerful, too!

Unfortunately, the government (probably) knows this and they keep it illegal. I’m fact, I’m legally obligated to tell you that I do not advocate the use of this substance and that this information is for education and risk-reduction purposes only. Isn’t that sad? Isn’t it sad that the government makes a part of nature illegal (most likely) because they understand it exposes their scheme right down to the very core? I’m disappointed in the people who call DMT a “drug” that has “side effects,” it’s one of the best ways to heal yourself mentally and physically. You don’t get a hangover and you don’t experience any undesirable side effects after smoking it, 99.99% of the time it’s a positive experience that everyone will benefit from doing at least once in their lifetime.

Do We Benefit From This, Or Should We Leave DMT Alone?

DMT is very beneficial to your wellbeing, especially if you’re reading this post, and especially if you have the proper set and setting. The more open-minded, conscious, and able to surrender you are the more effective DMT/ayahuasca will be, and if you combine your set with a good setting (by yourself or with a conscious friend indoors or outdoors in a safe place) you’ll probably have a very good experience.

Also, it’s worth researching and/or getting involved in the search to find if we naturally produce it in our brains. If we do, and if we can produce an increased amount via meditation (like with serotonin) then we’ll be able to go on our own “mini-trips” without any interference from the law.

In my opinion, DMT should only be left alone if you’re afraid of the government’s hand unless you consciously intend to overcome your fear. Generally, this kind of fear is what makes DMT not so effective, and sometimes civil disobedience is exactly the right thing to do.

Final Thoughts 

I wish to mention once more that we’ve been ingesting DMT for thousands of years, and we’re still alive as a species! I also want to argue that our disconnection with DMT and psychedelics, in general, is part of the reason we’re suffering so much around the world. These aren’t party drugs that give you side effects and potentially ruin your life – psychedelics (especially the natural ones like psilocybin, DMT, peyote, etc), when used properly, give you a quality of life that cannot be overstated. And a species that takes psychedelics as a group is a species that is enlightened and capable/willing to work as a team towards a regenerative goal – that is survival, expansion, and enjoyment.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading my article! I’m slightly afraid the law is going to come after me for this one, but I will tell the truth no matter what!

I’ll see you in the next post!

The Value of Video Games

December 11, 2020 by Gabe Leave a Comment

Quick Facts

-Different kinds of video games have different kinds of values! Shooters help us develop our reflexes and quick observational skills. RPGs show us how to use what we have, and they help us develop our patience. Brain games help keep our intelligence and memory skills sharp!

-Video games can be used to avoid pain and trauma. Playing video games to do this isn’t healthy, and healing your pain is much better than suppressing it.

Intro 

Video games have been on the rise since the early 1980s and they’ve definitely received some mixed opinions. Some of us think they’re detrimental to our well-being, some of us think they’re actually good for us, and some of us are completely indifferent to them entirely.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them since I was a young lad and many of my friends have as well! This prompted me to ask the question, “why?” 

The Stigma Surrounding Them 

I want to address the core complaint that many of us have about video games;

“They’re making you unproductive, how will you ever move on with your life if you keep playing these things?”

Many parents and older people disdain video games for either this reason or something that looks like, “you need to spend more time outside/with your family and friends.”

These beliefs are fading away as more and more people are able to make a living by recording themselves playing video games and posting their videos on YouTube! The potential monetary gain far, far exceeds the potential monetary gain of a 9-5, it’s quite possible to make millions per year if you make great content. 

It can very well be that, even if you’re making a good amount of money playing video games, they can be taking over your life in a way that’s detrimental to your well-being. This happened to me when I was younger, and I decided to expand on it in the paragraph below.

How They Can Be Detrimental 

Video games are, often enough, miniature simulations of life – or even, simulations of how we want life to be. Why do so many fantasy games exist, and why are they so popular? It’s because they grip people’s emotions in such a profound way and allow the release of dopamine at a rate that’s quicker, more often, and longer than real life tends to. 

With the evolution of technology, we can play online and speak to other people simultaneously, effectively eliminating the “need” for face-to-face contact. We can also make real money at the same time. So, one of the genuine problems I notice is that playing video games is a sedentary activity while our bodies are built to be active. This can be remedied with exercise, of course!

But there’s another problem, a problem that’s much deeper than what we’ve talked about so far. Video games are quite often used to escape trauma, terrible lifestyle choices and situations, inner shadow work, etc. I remember this being the sole reason I played video games as a child, my parents were so detrimental to my well-being that I couldn’t handle it, so I played video games to ignore my pain and to ignore my family. 

Playing video games with the intention of avoiding your trauma and pain is the worst reason to play them. Do you want to talk with your friends? Sure. Do you want to make money? Absolutely. But if you have trauma, inner pain, and/or a terrible life situation I greatly encourage you to heal yourself/change your situation instead of using video games to escape or ignore yourself. Please don’t make the same mistake that I made for so long!

The Value of Video Games 

Okay, now that we have the sad part out of the way let’s talk about the good stuff – the value that video games provide!

As we know there are many different kinds of video games, and each of them provides something that’s quite valuable to our lives!

-Action shooters, for example, train us to make decisions extremely quickly and have very fast reflexes. They’re also great for unleashing pent-up aggression!

-We play MMORPGs very well when we can budget our gold and buy what we need without overspending. RuneScape is great for this!

-Video games in general allow us to play out fantasies that would be socially unacceptable to do in the physical world. 

-Video games like Among Us can teach us how to lie and how to improve our acting skills. 

-Strategy games are a magnificent way to improve our strategic abilities and keep our minds as sharp as can be!

-Racing games help develop our ability to keep multiple aspects of the game in mind while we’re trying to win and/or achieve the best possible time.

-Fighting games help us keep any possible move our opponent could make in mind while we act out what we think is the best string of actions to defeat our opponent. This can help us win fights when we aren’t playing video games, should the need arise.

-Video games can help us relax from a long day because of the dopamine releases 🙂

-And, let’s keep in mind that any kind of video game where we can play with other people as a team gives us the ability to learn how to go towards a commonly-shared goal! This skillset is priceless if you ask me.

There’s definitely more but I’ll leave it at that. The value that video games provide is actually quite deep and meaningful, so I encourage you to share this post with anyone and everyone that you know, especially if they doubt that video games are good for you!

Final Thoughts

Sometimes people are against video games because they’re jealous of those who play them and have fun. There are definitely those who envy people who are capable of having fun and, therefore, are against any way in which we actually have fun (video games, riding a dirt bike, hanging out with friends, etc). I encourage you to ignore most of what these people say since most of them are bitter and sad inside, and they can use a lot of healing!

Conclusion 

Thank you for reading my post, I greatly appreciate it! I’ll see you in the next article 🙂
