At Easter I take a pack of marshmallow peeps, put them in a zip lock bag and shake them up with powdered ghost pepper powder. They run about 1 Million scovilles each. Not many people come back fro a second one.
The Shame™️, THE SHAME™️
Do you know how cannabutter is made?
I was wondering if one could use the same process with hot peppers to make... cayennabutter (sorry).
Or Bhut Jolokia butter, etc.
Can you imagine baking brownie bites... that bite back?
Or how about snickety-snackerdoodle cookies?
I've never tried it, so I don't know if this could actually be done.
You are evil.
@@OhPervyOneat that point I think I'd just make an infused oil
😆😂😁 @OhPervyOne
@Gardener Scott
Here is something you can do with the super-hot peppers and it'll help your garden. Cut up the super-hot peppers, carefully, I recommend using gloves and goggles for this, and boil them down, seeds and all. Strain the resultant liquid, again, gloves and goggles, and put the liquid into spray bottles. Use this on your garden. The reason for the capsasin is to keep herbivores from eating the plants, and to prevent insect predation. Doing this, you will find a marked decrease in insects trying to get at your garden, as well as a decrease in herbivores trying to eat your plants. I've used it plenty of times to keep squirrels and rabbits out of my strawberry beds. And it also helps keep beetles away.
Mix blackberries and hot pepper to make a Bar-bq sauce.
Careful, your now diving into the deep end that has no bottom😅. Chili pepper growers are a subset of gardening that is very fun and fascinating. Pretty much all I grow are chili peppers.
Lol, I had super hot peppers in my hand 3 times and decided against it. I kept imagining my husband taste testing one in the garden and burning himself. Then there was a couple times I burned my hands. I have some hot, but not ghost or any other hots. Yes, it was the reaper I had in my hand. Cayenne is fine for me, I like my stomach lining😅
OMG, those sound like you should have protective clothing on to even plant them🤣🤣
A family member gave us sauce made from super hot-FYI-they are still screaming HOT🥵
Was in Mexico once and had no idea about the oil on top of salsa and I actually lost my breath for a bit. So, no, not for me. Hot dry conditions can make them very hot.
Good Point! With all the manipulation of seeds a gardener really needs to study the seed they are buying. Some that are normally hot are bred to be mild. Pictures of full size vegetables can be minis-I know😏
I was at Jung's today picking up some seed trays, and at the register, they had free Amish slicing tomato seeds. Do not know where I am going to plant all of these tomatoes, you are nothing but trouble LOL.
I had to laugh when you told about your lemon drop pepper experience. This summer my husband popped a tiny ripe chiltepin in his mouth. Uh- oh. He did the same thing. I grow hot peppers for the ornamental value, to dry for culinary and medicinal purposes and for pest control.
i recently discovered chiltepin hot sauce and it sent my burritos to a new level.
i have a dozen or more bottles of various hot sauces in the fridge but have gone through 3 bottles of roasted chiltepin sauce since. it's only $1.50 a bottle!
The lemon drop actually is a sweet pepper, in addition to being hot. It's closely related to the sugar rush pepper. If you can tolerate the heat, it adds a nice sweet citrus flavor to your dishes.
That's a proper school lesson the kid will never forget 😂😂
Zone 6a, we grow Habaneros and Tabascos as our hottest (raised beds) but the biggest thing that's helped with yields has been overwintering the plants. We'll cut them back severely, alongside a dose of fertilizer, and bring them inside in pots. This gives them a massive headstart come spring, and their yields from year 1 to 2 generally doubled.
We've got a habanero we have had for 3 years now. It has produced close to a thousand peppers on its own. Luckily, the family also likes hot stuff, or I'd be swimming in peppers I didn't know what to do with...
A lot of these peppers are stunning to view. Got some of some pepper seeds from pepper joe last year. No did not eat any of them. Did pickle some. Still haven't tried them. Look pretty in the jar. They may just be decor.
Yep, you're crazy, alright! I grew habernero peppers the year before last only because my son wanted to make hot sauce, and he did. I didn't taste it, but I heard it was "very hot." This year he wants me to grow them again, along wotj tabasvo peppers.
They would sell ghost pepper plants at the big box stores in the south when I lived there. Grew some on my apartment balcony and got a few of them. Without anything to do with them and not wanting to waste them, I ate them raw on 3 separate occasions. It was terrible.
I love Pepper Joe's!!! That company is legit. I did their Carolina reapers and black prince peppers. Very good germination.
Scot, It was so important that you warn for the hot chilli pepper in the garden FOR TO PROTECTED from the kids for to get around and maybe taste it.... Greetings from Europe
Recipe videos with super hot peppers. Cant wait
WhoaH! My pepper Joe's just came in the mail
Even as an adult, Scott got sent to the principal's office. 😅 Hopefully, the kid learned the valuable lesson of not letting people dare him into doing something stupid. 🤔 Anyways....Good luck with the peppers Scott. I will not be joining you in growing super hot peppers in my garden. Cayenne is my limit but I will say the tabasco pepper plant looks amazing once the fruit starts to ripen. 😁
Great video! We're super excited to work with you, and we cannot wait to see how your seeds GROW!
I've been growing Carolina Reapers for several years now. Super hot peppers are good for treating chronic pain, they tend to have nice sweet flavor to add to just about any dish, and they're useful for making pepper solution to spray on vulnerable crops to deter herbivore pests. The Reaper plants are among the most productive as well, if you grow them in the right conditions.
The pepper plants will drop their flowers if the temperatures exceed the mid 90's and afternoon shade will help with pepper production. My husband grows these and was able to get hundreds of peppers per plant. Good Luck.
Side note if they are all in the same greenhouse they will likely crossbreed.
When making hot sauce, if you want to make a hot sauce that's actually edible and enjoyable with super hot peppers, you'll want to use less peppers than the recipe might call for and more carrots to help dilute the overall heat of the hot sauce if you plan on actually eating it and enjoying it.
At that point your better off growing a milder pepper with better flavor.
@@samljer yep true. But it's all an experiment for him. He enjoys trying new things. He could taste test each batch once it's blended and go from there. If the flavor is too hot he can roast more carrots, add to blender and taste again be jarring up.
Oh I can't wait to get growing hot peppers. I grew pepper Joe's peter peppers (mix) and they made fantastic homemade hot sauce last season. I also did sugar rush peach enjoyed so much got the sugar rush stripey this season. I noticed the hot ones are super productive. TIP... the hotter the peppers are, the longer germination takes. I always start my super hot peppers 1st, some can take upward 30 days to germinate.
@GardnerScott fermented hot sauce & powder. They make fantastic holiday gifts. You can buy bottles very cheap on Amazon. Honestly, most people I gifted items for holidays loved the garden treats I 🎁
I can’t wait to watch the progress. I am trying a new hot pepper (habanero). That’s about the hottest I’ll go! Haha.
So are we going to see you on an episode of First We Feast Hot Ones with Sean Evans? I once had a neighbor who grew birdseye chili peppers on his chain link fence. They were small, maybe 1/2". I ate one and thought I would die. They were so small I assumed they were harmless. Big mistake!
Wow! It will be interesting to see that video on the results. I am on a crazy hot pepper growing adventure also. I am growing 6 kinds of super hot peppers and 11 hot peppers. I don’t eat super hot peppers but my husband loves them. I find that pickling them tempers down the heat a little bit.
Hope you have better luck than I did. I ordered three packs from Pepper Joe and never had any of them germinate. Texas hot peppers seeds have always done me right
They have the worst reputation bro…..I just warned him….Texas hot peppers is a great place!
I enjoy growing and eating New Mexico green type chile peppers here in NC. I'm going to try growing some Carolina Reapers this year for my son-in-law but have no desire to try them just to say I did.
Apocalypse Scorpion and Yellow Reapers are growing outside. Look good, but I have no idea what to expect
To all you pepper growers ..
Enjoy your peppers and heat..
In my case, my wife can't handle hardly any heat. She has been known to remove cilantro from super mild Mexican or Southwestern food dishes because it was to hot for her. Because of that I can't add spicy heat to meals until after hers is served.
Still waiting for that pony tail to grow
i find golden habaneros to be easy and plentiful performers. they are about as hot as i need peppers to be and are always a great addition to any spicy dish. we call them the flavor activators. extras just get made into sauce or hot relish.
Check out Datil Peppers. Very popular in FL St. Augustine area, they even have annular Datil festivals. Until recently the seeds were closely guarded, but now you can get some online. The level of heat is similar to habaneros, but Datil is sweet, and, the common opinion is that it tastes better than habaneros.
I've seen recipes where the pepper is poked with a pairing knife and thrown in whole. That way you get a definite spice without a nuclear bomb.
I'm trying to get my shistito peppers to sprout. This has encouraged me to let them be.. maybe they just need longer times... in Co Sprs keeping my house at a steady temp is impossible. But I really want these peppers. My cayenne and jalapeños seeds came up quickly. I ordered new seeds from Bakers Creek, I assumed my cheap shistito pepper seeds were duds.
Scotch bonnet. Peruvian hot pepper.
Remove the seeds from the ones you dry to make chili powder to have good color and prevent them from molding. I grew some ghost peppers and it makes a really nice chili powder. Going to play with fermented hot sauce with some of mine. I always pickle a bunch too
Really comes down to a question of " how do you deal with pain"? If you like hottest peppers, go for it. If you get a 1st or 2nd or 3rd degree tongue burn you can visit an ear, nose and throat specialist to make sure there is no infection. Ultimately, the organ called a tongue does heal faster than, for example, skin.
Can’t wait to sow some of these this year!! 😊
It's too late to sow superhots. Should start it in December.
I like to taste my food. So I prefer grinding dried hot peppers into flavorful mixes. I will often smoke them, or caramelize them(heat only, no oil) before dehydrating, and then grinding. I know typically a chipotle is mainly a smoked Jalapeño. The hottest I grow is the Cascabella, or Peter Pepper.
I am already germinating hot pepper seeds, want to experiment with them this year. I wish you a good harvest, great video as always 😉
Primotalii red, nothing too exciting about that LOL. Wait for it...
Hi Gardener Scott. Zone 5b. Grew 2 Reapers that yielded dozens just for the challenge. Perhaps in a future video you can put some of your peppers to a live tasting experience!
Habanero is about as hot as I go when it comes to hot peppers. What goes in burning hot, comes out hotter. I have no desire to turn my butt hole into a flamethrower, or have lava pour out of it. I'll stick to sweet peppers of which I have plans to grow 90 plants of which I'll be growing 15 different varieties.
> Pepper Joe's
i see you like games of chance
The resulting video should be awesome. But will stick with the jalapeño, Cheyenne and Anaheim, peppers. Thanks Gardener Scott!
Only a tiny bit of jalapeño without seeds and Only for my pepper jelly.
My wife can't handle mild bannana peppers without breaking out.
Best way to wash the peppers off is washing with motor oil. Try it.
I plant my peppers 2 weeks before the tomatoes but I would add a week before waiting a extra week.
This was my first year at gardening and i decided to try growing some superhots. I have trinidad scorpions and ghost peppers. The heat of these things is absolutely devastating. I've made the scorpions into chile powder and pepper infused salt. It only takes a very small pinch of the salt or the powder to really add a lot of heat to a dish. I do really like the flavor they have though
Missing Monday morning lives unfortunately. Thanks for the video! Looking for a recommendation for a pepper to grow in our area (Black Forest) to make paprika seasoning
I'm experimenting with peppers for that too, including a Hungarian pepper.
Jalapeno is about my limit, but our son-in-law loves the super hots, so this year I'm planting 8 super hots for him. I sowed them last weekend, knowing they will take forever to germinate. Look forward to following along with your hots videos.
Heating mats help with pepper germination.
@@umiluv I was happy to see every pepper except for the poblano is up, even the Trinidad Scorpion. Will give the poblano another week, but may have been a bad seed pack. The heat mat definitely got the peppers off to a quick start.
I ordered my pablano pepper seeds this year from Pepper Joe’s and they sent along 5 mystery super hot pepper seeds.
I’m planning on starting them soon with my onions.
This video will be useful for my endeavor to grow them!
I use starter mix with BioAG. My heat mat is set to 86 degrees. I use six cell pack per type, finding germination within 7-14 days.
GS, you got lemon dropped! Great video!
Won't be long now. I actually could have started some seeds "Peppers" today, but I decided to hold off til tomorrow. Supposed to rain tomorrow, and I need to get my last raised bed built first, so I spent the day today doing that instead. I can start seeds indoors tomorrow.
First time gardener this year. I decided to try growing reapers and a few other hot peppers.. thanks for the info and great video
Wow😮. Looking forward to seeing the journey
I just went to pepper joes and loaded up on seeds and snacks and used you code thank you for the savings!! Love your videos by the way ❤
No way, not for me. My friend grew Carolina reapers this year and shared them with folks at church. Just touching them was risky, ha!
Thank you.
Ghost pepper is my favorite spicy pepper so far.
Hi Gardener Scott! Already have my hot pepper seeds! Reapers, bonnets, habanero and tabasco's! Growing for family/friends! Want to make pepper sauce! They enjoyed the sauces from last year, but requested these scoville blasters! I will be very careful when handling them in the garden! Can't wait to see your hot pepper journey! Blessings
I can't wait to play in the dirt.
This year I will grow a potential super hot. It was a bonus package and listed as an F1 , cross between a super hot and a habinero. Not sure how hot it will be or what it will look like, but will be careful with the peppers.
We have some experience with some hotter pepper varieties (hottest we've tried is a Trinidad Scorpion, but we have also done Tabasco and habanero in thr past.)
A couple of thoughts:
1. It is important to be super careful handling hot peppers and the plants. Because the agent that makes them hot, capsaicin, is an oil, it can be hard to wash off of hands and it is very easy to get it in yoir eyes or nose if yoi don't realize it is still on your hands. Wash hands very well in dish soap to help get the capsaicin off and consider using gloves when handling hot and super hot peppers.
2. We have used some hotter peppers in a pest control solution successfully. Plants don't seem to mind it but aphids sure do!
Good tips. Thanks.
Can’t wait 🥵 feeling it
Hababeros are pleasant to grow and eat. I grew a large number this past summer. I pickled them and mixed in some scorpion peppers with them in the jars. Friends of mine who enjoy hot peppers told me they were delicious and alarmingly hot.
I have one jar left out of four, and am saving it for a special occasion.
I find hot peppers truly fun and fascinating to grow.
I heard that a good way to help pepper seeds germinate is to use the wet paper towel method. This year I'm going to try this over the oven pilot light, since I don't have a heat mat.
I am planning on trying that method too.
We are going to try and grow Lemon Drop this year. Thanks for the tip on growing in the greenhouse, we are close to your area (just up by the Palmer Ridge) and we never seem to have a long enough season for the hot peppers to ripen, but the greenhouse should do the trick!
I've grown Carolina reapers they are super wicked
If you can get past the heat, most of these peppers have their own very unique flavor, usually on the sweeter side. Habaneros and Bhut Jolokias taste nice and fruity. I found the scorpion chili has more of a licorice like flavor.
I am a wuss when it comes to spicy foods and I thought I was nuts to think about growing a free seed pack I got for Datil peppers (which are “only” rated at 100,000-300,000)! I have a hard enough time when I get a spicy shishito 😅. I wonder if you need gloves to plant the seeds. I hope we get to see a taste test video from you though, the peppers sound interesting. I wonder how steeping the hot peppers in cream to make ice cream would be. That’d probably be the only way I’d have a shot at tasting anything remotely close to that hot. Great video, it sounds like fun!
I'm growing the Datil also!
I look forward to seeing you make hot sauce and chilli powders this fall.
Yes, habanero powder is a great alternative to cayenne powder.
to speed germination, scarify seeds in dilute tea
Very excited for this series! Excellent idea! Maybe I missed an episode, but would love to hear what your planting in your garden this year for us Colorado subs.
Thanks. I have older videos that discuss what I grow and will have more this year with specific plans for what I'm growing.
A wonderful topic on a cold blustery day here in WI.
And I thought ghost peppers with a Scoville unit of 1 million was a HOT.
You dodged a real bullet with that kid from the Galileo school, live and learn. I would imagine wearing nitrile gloves would be a good idea when harvesting.
Anything over a Jalapeno is to hot for me (even some of the shishito were a bit of a surprise), but I have some friends who might enjoy an atomic pepper.
I already started some cayenne peppers from stored peppers I had tied onto a string 2 years ago ~ 25% germination, again not for me.
I'm going to plant something super hot, just for the heck of it.
Stay Well!!!
Oh, I'll be on the crazy adventure with you. I have 8 varieties of hot and superhot peppers I'll be trying this year. While making sauce and really hot chili is great with them, I get the best bang-for-buck out of dehydrating and grinding them into a powder. But, I have to warn you that it'll make the air in your house very spicy; do it outdoors or in a garage.
Good luck, Pepper Joe's is known to send seed packs out with incorrect labels...
Bro….you pepperjoed yourself!!!!! In the pepper community pepper joes has become infamous for mislabeling seed packs……..50/50 chance they will all be habaneros…..we even say you got pepper joed……when your plant turns out the wrong pepper…but maybe they have hired new seed suppliers…..good luck…keep us updated…..
Is this still a thing LMFAO I just ordered from pepper Joe lol
Thanks for sharing. Very informative. I too, am starting a similar super hot journey this year and found your content as a result. I’ve never successfully grown anything hotter than a jalapeño and have a variety of pepper this year to try from seed. I look forward to seeing your progress and recipes, as I will be in a similar predicament this fall. I’m starting mine this week in MD. Cheers!
"Primotalii Red, nothing special about that.." 😂 Possibly the hottest pepper in the world, especially the chocolate variety.
My package said they are 1,000,000 SHU, which is less than most of the other peppers I'm growing, but you're right that it's still very hot.
Thing is, multiple reputable people in the pepper growing and tasting community are claiming the primotaliis to be the actual hottest pod they've ever tested. So, if you still have that one growing, beware.. 😅
The Primotalii red is hottest pepper, actually hotter then reaper. Joe may not be accurate on Primotalii so Be careful with that one.
I grow 10-12 superhots each year, each one producing over 100 peppers. They grow slow but proper nutrient feeding and sun gives me 3-4 ft plants. I use them for hot sauce.
The plants are very pretty too.
You are definitely one wild and crazy guy. 🤣 My son and granddaughter love hot and spicy food. I like spice but I don't want it to hurt me. 🤣I look forward to this experiment. Are you going to try all of them? TFS👍🌶
I'll try to figure out a way to try all of them, but it's a bit scary.
Hi Gardener Scott
I found this video very interesting. There is some doubt now about the Caroliner Reaper being the hottest, they are doing tests that say the Scotch Bonnet is now the hottest in the world. Just a couple of tips you might want to pass on to your viewers, when sowing super hots be very careful Not to rub your eyes once you have handled the seeds, and one for the gents, do Not go to the bathroom without washing your hands in hot soapy water (you can imagine the pain it can cause). But to be on safe side wear a pair of Latex gloves, some seed supplies do in fact send them out with the seeds.I have two greenhouses so I grow sweet peppers in one and hot Chillis in the other, this stops me getting them mixed up.I started my hot chillis two weeks ago and the only ones to germinate so far is the Caroliner Reaper.Thanks again.
Thanks. Good tips.
@@GardenerScott I know this by my own experience 😂😂😂😂😂
People need to also wash their hands multiple times after touching. Never touch your eyes,and males using the restroom with residue on their hands will quickly regret it!😫
I’m trying biquinho peppers this year. I’ve done jalapeños before and that went very badly for me. They were so hot my husband could barely use them in his salsa (he usually uses canned jalapeños). I learned the hard way that you can burn your fingers when processing them for pickling. :(
I found that I didnt really like the biquinos. I mean, I ate them right off the plant, and they were fine for snacking, but not really a pleasureable after-taste. I pickled a handful, and I didnt really like those except on pizza. Dont mean to be a downer, it's just my tastebuds. I had looked longingly in the seed catalogs for so long! You might want to give couple of plants a try to see if you like them -- lots and lots of people do like them. (Wordiness fin.)😄
@@patriciawilliams2404 thanks for the heads up. I’m still going to give them a try (I got the original recommendation from Epic Gardening, but they can sometimes be to into flashy new stuff), but if my husband doesn’t like them I’ll try something else next year. I can’t actually eat any hot peppers (being a super taster has downsides) so these are entirely a gift to my husband. ;)
Do you have other varieties you like that I should consider later?
@@violetofthevalley Your husband might like them very well. To me, biquinos taste like they have a propellant after-taste, but it could easily be how some people love cilantro and to others it tastes like soap! I dont have any recommendations, except for shishitos which are my new-found crave. I just love to grow stuff, and see how they taste! The Anaheim and poblano peppers in the store are sometimes hot, and that's my level. I have grown 'Holy Mole' (a poblano family, but skinny) before, and the first time it perfectly "warm," but the second time, it was too hot. So, just have fun! But I still dont like biquinos 😁
Oh Man, I love growing super hots but I'm running out of people to trick into biting one telling them it's a sweet pepper. 😉😉
I did this to everyone I knew! Still makes me laugh...
I wonder why...
I try to plant something in my garden for every member of my family. My uncle loves extremely hot peppers. When I say loves, I mean, I have watched him pluck as many as five habanero peppers right off the vine, chew, and eat them raw, seeds and everything- no milk or anything else to drink. He would do this repeatedly many times throughout the day. This year, he has been going through some hard times, and he asked me not to plant anything for him. I didn't order any hot peppers at all for him, but the seed company sent me a free gift- extremely hot peppers. He's not getting a choice.
Pepper X ----- 3.18 million on Scoville scale but I will never even touch
I agree. If the seeds are ever available I may grow for fun but am not crazy enough to taste.
I grew Carolina Reaper peppers last year. Oh my gosh, I have never experienced that kind of heat. Be careful. It will seriously burn your mouth and throat. 🌶
Where did u buy the seeds?
@markoliver4194 I purchased the seedings from a local nursery. I've seen the seeds on Amazon and Walmart, though.
@@thumbelinasgrace Ty😀
My wife eat habaneros as candy, and now she is asking me to grow does peppers
We've grown mostly serranos, jalapenos, cayenne and thai peppers in the past. Jalapenos are fantastic when ripe. The thai's are fun but have a good kick. Very productive, like the serranos. I've been really wanting to try out baccatum type peppers (aji limo / amarillo) and maybe one or two chinense (probably habanero, I have some seeds for 'white lightning' just waiting to go).
I generally don't have the patience for peppers I won't eat. Ghosts and up generally bother my stomach, but I might tolerate them if I make my own chile powder and use in moderation. All the hot ones are all fairly long season, which is a painful combination with having to be planted so late (at least mid-May here). Might have to go potted plants so they can come inside. 🌶🌶🌶
PS: Khang Starr's youtube is a fantastic resource. Containers, hydroponics, grafting, breeding.
Pepper X has a rating of 2,693,000 Scoville Heat Units, It was created by Ed Currie and he's not selling the seeds to the public.
Growing dragons breath this year. Ima make sure to not grow it near the others.
I' ll stick to my sweet pepper. Don't like hot.
I’m not scared by hot peppers. My habanero actually tasted more hot than my Carolina reapers, so there are variances. Don’t touch your eyes!
Or scratch any other sensitive areas, especially below the waist band. That would just be nasty.
@@donnastevens8832 Yeah, I’ve done that, too! Super bad...
Is this a current video?! Just trying to figure out if I am just too late to get these started mid February? Thanks!
This was just released. Depending on the length of your season, Mid Feb should be ok.
I'm growing datil and scotch bonnet, not super hot but still fiery. Are you going to do an update on the germination of your super hot peppers?
Yes, more videos are planned. I had very good germination.
@@GardenerScott I watched your hot sauce videos, did you make more hot pepper videos? My outdoor peppers had low yield, I think it was due to the long cold spring this year in Colorado. I'm going to over winter scotch bonnet, red ghost, datil, corno di toro, Jimmy Nardello, and giant marconi peppers so I should have a head start in 2024.
@@nathaniverson I've been filming and tracking my hot peppers all season. I had low yield on outdoor peppers too but the greenhouse peppers have done okay. I'll release a video on growing them early next year.
i learned long ago to avoid hot peppers.....the hot ones kill my taste and so i could be eating cow dung and not know it! I love the mild peppers and my ego is ok with that. Last summer i had a good crop of shishito and big jim peppers, ran out of them by november so i am growing twice as many this year.
Jeff Bridges does gardening?
No. Just. No. I grew up in ew Mexico, growing and eating lots of hot peppers, and I love the ones that are moderately hot. But it’s foolish to eat the super hot peppers. They really can send you to the hospital. And remember: they feel hotter coming out than they did going in.
Id happily grow superhots if I, or even someone i knew would eat, use, or cook them in some way.
If i grew them, they would literally rott.
Pepper Joe seeds in my experience not so good. Hopefully they have gotten better.
Cut with sweet peppers?
Yes, I plan to blend with mild peppers to make sauce and maybe powders too.
Pure insanity!
insanity? or enlightenment?
