Oh my gosh. We must be the most... disappointing rock stars, but we are not disappointing talkers. It's been so great. I think there's something, it feels similar to how I felt about like the news. It feels like all of this stuff is flooding my head all the time. But then when we talk, it kind of puts it in order. It gathers it up and puts it in the right order.

And then I can kind of metabolize it better. That's what I feel like being with people has done. It's like, oh, wait, all of these people are out here and we want the same things for ourselves and our people. And there's a lot of power in that. And there's a lot of solidarity in that. And there's a lot of solutions in being together. And it just feels, it feels really good, actually.

It feels really, I feel very thankful for everyone who's coming out and devoting the time to be together. And it's been a great experience. I'm very thankful.

Yes, that's good. I think those people are very cool who want to seek out people who don't think like them. I think that's a very... brave thing. And it also is the more we think it's not possible, the more we're scared of it. And it's kind of when you confront it, you're like, hey, that wasn't so bad. We lived through that and we found some common ground anyway. Like, that's good.

Yeah. Oh, that's good. That's good. I love that you met up with people. I think that there's also just something about reminding people. I mean, like all the algorithms are meant to make us feel like we are alone. And I was, we had Dr. Ozaki on our podcast earlier this week, and he's the researcher into cynicism and stuff. Cynicism and stuff. Cynicism, skepticism, optimism.

That's the stuff I was referring to. And- He was talking about how like even in revolution and progress, historically, hopelessness is most people feeling like most people don't care. And so it's really just the perception of that. And I feel that. That's not like a platitude. That's his research. And I get that. If most people feel like most people don't care...

then I get that that's how you'd feel. But when you get in these rooms and you're like, I'm surrounded by people who care. Right. And everything else we can work out. Right. It's very invigorating. And I feel grateful for the opportunity.
