He was way ahead of his time and everything with that. He was doing that like the 1800s. He was being bisexual and he was experimenting with drugs and partying and stuff like that and doing the magic thing and the occult and he brought all the secret
society teachings out for his own societies. He basically, you know, but he but he wrote a lot of this stuff, too. He's also he was initiated into masonry in Mexico and so into Freemasonry and so um so the modern day Masons will say oh he's not really he's not like initiated because they I don't know but it's like yeah he was in Mexico and stuff and know that's just as
