> I've never had a drink, and the primary motivator for me was that I enjoy keeping my mind sharp at all times

How do you know that if you’ve never experienced anything else?



I've never tried heroin or other hard drugs (or drugs of any kind) and I know I wouldn't like those. Guess what, if you know yourself enough, you don't need to have an experience to know the truth. There are other modes of learning the truth besides direct experience.

I've also never tried jumping off a bridge or climbing a huge mountain and I also know I wouldn't like those, even if I haven't tried.
