You know.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And it does.

I mean, you know, I would like to believe that the average American does not want to harm the average other American, you know, and even if you get hyped up on Twitter or you get to see, you know, too many videos of people blowing up stuff or whatever, that ultimately people have that experience of saying, you know, I went to that like coffee at the church and I sat there with that guy who I really can't stand.

And, you know, we ended up having a conversation.

You know, people are they're kind of amazed at how much commonality they can feel with people where if they just see the person we all know, like if you text somebody,

your kids or your wife or whatever, there's just some places where texts are not good.

It's not enough.

It's not enough.

It's going to make somebody's feelings hurt, you know.

But when you get to sit down across from somebody, you realize that it's another person you can kind of relate to.

So it's really disturbing that that

whether it's social media or just the demonization of people, the way that we just turn people into these one-dimensional figures, and then we can just rage at them and just hate them.

Yeah, there's also that I think sort of nuance falls into that also because people are made calm by the idea that they can just identify problems and that they're simple, right?

So if you say to somebody, hey, like locking people up for 75 years probably doesn't make a lot of sense.

That's complicated.

Wait, now I got to make a determination of what's the right thing to do with another person.

And, you know, so you end up with a lot of politicians who say, well, I know this is these the bad people.

These are the good people.
