I have some questions, which I'll get to here in a second.

But I've been thinking about just looking online and, God, it is an emotion-filled battlefield of landmines everywhere.

And I'm just thinking about 2025.

And I have no doubt to support that there's been more emotional things that people have been posting about or less or more conspiratorial things or less.

It feels like it's a little bit more emotional.

And maybe that's just what I'm seeing.

And it's so easy to blame the algorithm for what it is that you're seeing.

And people forget that your algorithm is actually a curation of things that you interact with.

And I've started messing with this a little bit.

Specifically on Twitter.

Man, it can be super aggressive and super negative.

But then I realize it's just showing me more things that I engage with.

And that's true of all the platforms.

So messing around with I want to see less of this type of content.

Messing around with muting particular things that –

Or they're at the edge of invoking a little bit of an emotional reaction, but then the more you think about it, you realize it's not emotional.

The person that you're reading something from, they're having an emotional reaction to something that is important to them, which might even be nonsensical or just completely non-meaningful in your life.

And I don't want to invest any time in that.

And that's what got me thinking about 2025 and all the stuff that's happened on the internet.

And I was thinking about specifically Charlie Kirk.
