 Nash, John Nash, beautiful mind. Okay, yeah, that's game theory. Yeah, so he figured out how pigeons, when you run through them, they don't all hit each other and fall down, right? There's an algorithmic principle behind that. So I took his ideas and I developed them into three basic algorithmic principles that if all people abided by in rush hour traffic, everybody would get to where they wanna go quicker. Always two car lengths in front of you at any given time. Maintain the same speed of the person in front of you, no matter what, and stay in your lane. Unless it's your time to get off, you gotta just stay in your lane. Stay in your lane, yeah. If everybody abided by that, it's like pouring rice through a funnel, right? You do it nice and fairly casually. It all gets through the funnel. You dump it and you get this huge backup of what I call undulating. But that's the human behavior. No one's gonna follow those rules. But we're Canadian, we're very good, right? At cooperating. Yeah. We're automated cars, self-driving cars. That's all an automated car. It's gonna just keep that distance true all the way through. And you can see, you can start to see it. And truckers already know it, right? You can tell truckers move from the trucking lane into the center lane. And if you stay with the trucks, that lane tends to do better. But as soon as it starts to do better, what happens is, right? The undulating idiots get in and wanna take up that space that allowed it to move more freely than the ones that were bumper to bumper. I predict in our lifetime, it'll be illegal to drive as a human in some places. I don't know globally. In some places, I think there's gonna be a lot of people who are just, I don't know. I mean, even today, it's not a white. People complain of guns, people complain of guns. So I'm like, I don't know, when's the last time you checked? How many people fucking die of car accidents? We suck at driving. It's getting worse every year with the... All of my patients, all of my clients for psychotherapy with my one separate client, our motor vehicle accident. Holy shit. All of them. Wow. Really? All of them. And it's like the same story. It's like, why didn't they stop? Like why didn't they stop? And I was like, I can't answer that. I can't answer that. But the reason why I'm doing psychotherapy in the trenches right now is to see if some of my ideas in cognitive therapy are applicable and actually do have beneficial value to these people, the relational systemics. When you try to explain to people the reason why accidents occur, it's like if they've seen Pulp Fiction, they can better understand causal influences of, well, buddy got up that morning and whatever was going on in his world for whatever reason, he was looking at his phone when he shouldn't have been and he plowed right into the back end of you. And now you feel like this. And in our legal systems, those people never see each other. Again, there's never closure. There's no healing. There's no healing. I find that so bizarre. There's no healing. They hate the other person in many cases. And it's like, well, I can understand that. Well, where is he now? He's driving around. He's fine. His insurance has taken care of everything. And I'm not. I had a great career. I was doing this. I was doing that. And now I can't. And it's like, not the easiest thing to try to get somebody to realize why this occurred to them when it did. But when I use a relational systemic model of information, some of them are, and the majority of them are very adaptable to be able to then see themselves the day of that accident in connection with all of those non-linear factors that were going on at that specific time where if they had started out 10 seconds later that day, probably wouldn't have been in that accident. So there's no fingers to point at anybody. There really isn't. It's just this huge deterministic causal chain of events of which you are unfortunate enough to be at a locus point where there was a convergence of non-linear factors that led to your situation. I always bring up this book. I recommend people to read is Victor Frankel's Man's Search for Meaning. It's like, listen. I've heard about this. Oh, it's one of the best books everyone should read. It's like, I can't control what Chris does. I can't control that a guy hit in a car accident. It just sheer chance. Yeah. You can be more aware, Blaise Pascal once said, chance favors the prepared mind. Yes. So, I'm a basketball player and what is that? But a series of non-linear events with 10 guys. Yes. And then you have to anticipate not where everybody is, but where everybody is about to be. So, I know when I see this guy heading to the hoop this way, but I'm looking that way, I know I'm passing the ball right past the ear of the guy who's on me right in the buddy's hands because you play it enough, right? It's patterns. It's patterns of non-linearity. And if you can do that while you're driving, you might be that much more capable of trying to anticipate somebody else's screw up and get away from that person. I tell my children when they're crossing the street to always look at the face of the people driving. Don't look at the car. Look at their faces because that's when you can tell that somebody's paying attention. I mean, if they make eye contact with you, they know that you're there, but if they're like off on their own. Going back to what Chris was saying with his patience and there's the fact that what happened to you and yes, it's a horrible thing to happen. I think the more you spend in the past thinking about, it's detrimental to your psyche, but going back to Victor Frankl's book, Mansur's for Meaning, the thing that we can't control right now is our response to the fact. Exactly. That's the only fucking- Can we now? Well, we can control- Some of us can, better than others. Most people react, but the thing is we can at least be consciously aware that we have an ability to manipulate and better be able to understand because it's not actually the response, it's you understanding what you're feeling and digesting and assimilating that feeling and working with it. And then I try to teach them how, I know you use the term manipulate and I used to use it as well. And then I felt maybe it has too much of a negative connotation, so right now I just call it navigate. Yeah, that's a better word. I try to say, now we need to navigate you through those systems because the pattern is almost always the same for motor vehicle accident victim. They're in somatic pain, right? They've got a neck injury, a back injury, whatever. That pain disrupts their sleep. So now they're not sleeping properly. And now that exacerbates the pain that they're in and that gets them depressed. And now they're suffering from PTSD because of the accident that they're in, they're having in-vehicle anxiety, having great difficulty now. What's happened to my mom? Is that right? And a little bit of a tangent, but the insurance world is just like motor vehicle accidents, it's a bitch to navigate. Like you pay into this system and then something bad actually does happen to you. And in this case, it did happen to my mom. And you're told, you can't get better because if you get better, they're not gonna give you a nickel. Sure. Like you may be in pain, but you need to keep the pain. Yeah, it keeps it in the culture, yeah. You can't go to work, you can't try to fix yourself. And of course the insurance company on the other side is trying to delay it. So something that could easily be dealt with within a week and say, okay, this person actually has a problem. We need to just give her enough money for the next six months. Yep. They're a physio, send her to psych. They would rather spend two to three years and spend that money on lawyer fees to not give that person their just cause. And so some people will either try to fix them themselves. And in my mom's case, she just ended up foregoing whatever of them out because she didn't want to wait, right? She wanted to get on with her life, but she went through that, right? She couldn't sleep, she had back aches, back aches. She couldn't think clearly for the first time in her life. Oh, there's cognitive decline, decision-making impairment. She didn't understand. She was like, I can't think properly. I've got bikers breaking down and they're like, why am I crying? I said, once your brain goes through a concussion, the way in which people get better varies. And one of the most common things we see with head injuries is, they call it empathic emotional outbursts and it confuses them and it scares them, right? Because it's like, I was a rock. I said, well, you gotta understand, your brain has been bruised essentially. It's gone, banged around inside your skull and there's been damage and every person's concussion, they're gonna experience it a little bit different, right? So there's post concussion syndrome and TBI or traumatic brain injury. And what we can do is we can start to chronicle triggers of what makes you go into these outbursts and then we can look for patterns to try to anticipate when you're gonna be in that sequence of events again so that you're better prepared to be able to deal with it when it occurs. So it's amazing seeing the effects that car accidents have on people from fender benders to people who have lost limb and guys who have been in comas for weeks, airlifted on desk doorstep and the different ways in which they respond and come out of it and react and it's just incredible seeing that whole human emotional spectrum. Well, I think we'll wrap it up over here. Chris, thank you so much for coming on the show. If people wanna get in touch with you and learn about what you're doing, what's the best resource?
