"Because you always hear people talk about dopamine, but they really don't break it down for you so you understand it. People who are depressed, who are gonna kill themselves, or who are fat, or do drugs, those are low dopamine people, those are the ones we always talk about.

"But you know who we never talk about? The people at high dopamine, who have the high spikes, who are those people? Those are the people with schizophrenia. Still a mental disease. So the point that I'm trying to make to you: it's not that all mental disease is low dopamine. Most of them are, but some of them are high dopamine.

"Then there's the part in the middle which is the Jackson Pollock guys, who painted in fractals. Why? Because when dopamine is not optimized, you see the world instead of being smooth, like it is right now, you see it in still shots. That's what the fractal nature is. And that's actually tied to the light that we use to do this. It's a dopamine effect tied to UV-A light." — Dr. Jack Kruse on the Align Podcast @ 19:10 – 20:04 https://youtu.be/1UbdNu-CQyU&t=1150
