Yeah.

I, um, just to kind of put this in like a, maybe like a actual real world context.

Like I speak to a lot of high school aged kids.

Yeah.

Um, and a lot of them are really kind of motivated to change the world.

But then they go out and they try and change the world and they feel completely debilitated because it's kind of impossible to change the whole world.

But they want to because they feel like there's so much suffering happening.

And then they get into this space where they feel like now they can't do anything.

And then they turn to sort of this nihilistic approach where everything sucks.

I'm going to do nothing.

It's all done.

When like we can like you turn their approach to like,

Well, why not focus on something you do have control over your school, your community, your friendships, your family, yourself.

Right.

And there is like, whether you believe in the universe or not, there is a downstream effect of you doing that for yourself that can impact the world.

And so I think that's important for, for young people to think about because you scroll on social media, you're going to see a bomb, a dead children, a murder, fucking someone gets shot, whatever, whatever, then a cat video and then something else, something else, something else.

And you're like,

you know, my brain can't compute all of that.

Uh, so I want to do something about it, but I don't know what to do.

And so I'm going to do nothing.
