Yo,

This is not a lecture. Or a show episode. This is an experience, unlike any other. I just spent over an hour rewriting a bunch of different captions for this... which took me over a month to make.

It's quite possibly the most important thing I've made to date, and I'm confident it has the capacity to help a lot of people and the world as a whole in a really big way if it finds an audience.

But I don't know how to convince people to listen to this. So hopefully they just do.

Put ya headphones, close ya eyes, click ya : ( : above, and before you know it, 20 minutes FLEW by and you emerge from the auditory adventure with an unprecedented understanding of what it's like to live with a manic depressive "mental illness".

Instead of continuing to call it a disease and making it near impossible for the afflicted to get adequate treatment, we need to forge a new path.

It's time we destigmatize, study, understand, treat, then capitalize on all the brilliant people who are wired differently, If for no reason other than that the world has a lot of complex problems that need fixing and, well... as Kanye West once put it, "Name one genius that ain't crazy."

The only thing that's crazy is to dismiss what has yet to be understand as crazy. I hope you enjoy!

Stay strong, especially when you're weak.
