Special interests have co-opted our institutions of trust and the clinical guidelines

Calley Means: "The issue is that interests that profit from us being in fear, that just fundamentally is a statement of economic fact, profit from us being sick, profit from us being depressed, profit from us being infertile, they have co-opted our institutions of trust and they've co-opted the clinical guidelines.

Like literally when I was a junior employee, I helped Coke funnel money to the American Diabetes Association. Okay? The American Diabetes Association says that if you have diabetes, you don't need to worry about your sugar intake. They say it's not tied to food.

The American Academy of Pediatrics right now is saying that if your child is overweight, slightly overweight, overweight, 12 years old, dietary and invigils don't wait. It says do not wait to see if dietary and invigils work. Ozempic. It's now being studied on six years old. The American Psychiatry Association, right? The psychiatrist, the standard of care. If your child is a little sad, SSRI, immediate intervention.

SSRI rates have doubled among high schoolers in the past five years. If your child's a little fidgety, the standard of care. It's not asking whether they're in the sunlight, not asking if they're too sedentary, not asking if they're being force-fed, ultra-processed food, which would make any animal crazy if we subject them to what kids are subject to. No discussion of that. It's just not in the clinical guidelines.

So these doctors, these good people like Casey, go into the medical system where we're this magnet for smart people. We get them in for the right reasons. There's easier ways to make money. But they come in and they get saddled with one skill, they get saddled with a bunch of debt, and then they're realizing this is a rigged system."
