Let's leave junior high school.

Let's go to high school.

Okay.

And they were like a bunch of like really awful people.

Let's evenly distribute it between the sexes.

Let's just do that for fairness sake.

Yeah.

And then I'm like constantly pointing out how

these people are always bad and extractive and these people are always cold and avoidant.

And if those narratives were just constantly posted on the walls and talked about over lunch and whispered in the hallways, it would be very poisonous to the whole environment.

And that's kind of what the internet is.

And then the traditional news, but also some podcasts, not this podcast, but we'll kind of amplify these narratives because they...

feel juicy, they feel, and they get clicks.

And I think we all have an innate desire to avoid danger.

So we want to know where this stuff is.

But when you step back, you go, like most people are pretty well-meaning.

Most people are looking for good partnership.

Nobody's perfect, but where people make mistakes, most people are like looking to at least modify their behavior over time.

Like it's all...

reasonably benevolent, but then there are these like kind of nasty characters out there and we give them so much credit and we give them so much power and they just plain suck.
