And because of that, it feels like those other people... And also the other thing that happens is that our social behavior is contagious.
So...
Loud people, even though I say they're a minority, because the message is constantly repeated and repeated and repeated, it actually rubs on people.
Just like I say, broke energy is contagious, depressed energy is contagious, happy energy is contagious.
It's the same thing.
So these people are kind of also rubbing and perpetuating these ideas by just pure repetition and being loud.
So people get influenced by that.
That has happened also throughout history.
So a few people who were loud, they pushed really terrible ideas on people, Bolshevik revolution being the case in point.
So I...
Most people were not on board with Bolshevik Revolution.
It was a very unpopular move at the beginning.
But then these people were loud and like repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat the message.
And over time, like people are like, ah, these people, you know, combination of them winning a little bit and then hearing the message multiple times, people get influenced just through the fact of repetitively hearing a message.
So I think the solution is exactly what you said earlier.
which is people that are grounded, maybe that's the best term I can use, people that are grounded in reality and common sense and all that, they need to be louder because the gut reaction when I see a bunch of crazy people saying crazy stuff is for me to say, okay, I'm going to go take my ball and go play somewhere else.
That's gut reaction, okay?
If we do that, and if all of us do that, repeatedly and for long enough, there will be no place to go.
So you said it's our duty.
Yes, it is our duty.
