syncope

has

such a huge impact on you? And then, of course, like that often leads to creative acts there are a lot of songs about different people and a lot of books about people and that the authors and the musicians actually knew i think that every time i've ever written a story or an essay or yeah like i mean i feel like It's usually because I had an encounter with someone, and that encounter was really vital in some way, and it provoked some kind of really big response in me.

And I hope to, I usually try to wait a long time before sharing the fruits of that creative labor so that it isn't simply this anxious responding, but something that has been more lived in and thought through and...

Yeah, I don't know that it has a little more grace to it or something.

This was joyful intelligence for me, and the reflection of hope gave a silver lining to the dark cloud of my life.

Faint, it is true, but still a silver lining.

Taking a prospective glance at liberty, I consented to marry.

The wedding was a great event in the family.

Of course.

Yeah, if you have fainting spells, that's dangerous.

Fainting spells is

one thing, but some people can feel when they come on and know I need to sit.

But I think it's because of the autism and really poor interception, which is not being able to understand what's going on in your body and communicate and not focusing as well.

You know, things, the, the, the low flying at 300 miles an hour or 250 miles an hour, whether they fly at, you know, um, the, But no, they fired these hypersides.

When you faint in warfare, it's to allow something else to happen.

Faint doesn't mean like you pull your punches.

Faint doesn't mean like you're not trying hard.

Faint doesn't mean like you're not actually trying to land a punch.

You are.

You're just trying to distract.

I would be like, this is it.

And you know what, Josh? For the rest of time, I never would refer to it as passing out.

I would refer to it as fainting.

No, that's too delicate.

Yeah, so now I call it Xerxes Avenue quite often.

So

we got to talking about passing out or for a guy like Josh, fainting.

No, it's passing out for me.

You might barely hear the yelling.

And finally, the last resort, faint.

Faint is vasovial emsyncope, a complete loss of consciousness due to a massive blood pressure collapse.

The brain just turns off the lights entirely.

So when we see a parent who is just staring blankly at the wall while a spouse is berating them or while a toddler is screaming on the kitchen floor, they aren't giving the silent treatment.
