But it speaks to a very real human experience, which is that we look inside of our own nervous systems.

We look inside of ourselves to figure out what can I do?

And we will almost never find agency for these big things we need to shift inside of ourselves.

It's not about agency, it's about we-gency.

It's about all of us acting together.

In the social media case, it's not just what you do or what your classroom does.

You have to do it at the school level or at the inter-school district level or at the country level.

And I just want to say there is such a strong signaling value

for standing up first.

Coming out of the social dilemma many years later, Australia is the first country that stands up and says, we're going to do the humane thing.

We're going to ban social media for kids under 16.

And after they stood up, you know, they found their regency, you know, Spain, Denmark, France, and now Indonesia have all followed suit.

And so I just wanted to like, it's not all hopeless.

There is more momentum than we think.

And remember, as we always call it, reach up and out, which is it's not just what I can do, but what is the way that I can reach out to people at my level and then reach up one level.

So if you're a teacher, it's not just what you do in your classroom, but what you do with the school level.

If you're a school principal, it's not just what your school does, but what your school district does that can start to make change.

And that's how we make humane principles into humane practice.

So thanks, everyone, for listening to your undivided attention.

And Randy, thank you so much for joining us.
