	I’m sorry to anyone who trusted me, who believed in my integrity as a neurologist, and who thought I stood for the betterment of humanity.

	When I first got involved with Neurovance and its company, I believed in its potential to revolutionize mental health and cognitive performance. At the time, I was naive. The people behind the initiative were persuasive and persistent, using my ~~vulnerabilities—my passion for advancing human cognition, my desire~~ to ~~make breakthroughs in neuropharmacology, and, yes, my ego—to~~ draw me in. I conducted my research, submitted my findings, and genuinely thought I was contributing to a brighter future. They said this was about changing lives, about giving humanity a fighting chance against its limitations. I was assured it would remain ethical, regulated, and above all, optional. I truly believed that we were pioneers on the cutting edge of human potential. Or at least that’s the story I told myself.
