I mean it happens at a snail's pace and it happens through backbreaking labor from people like you and Paul Stamets and Rick Doblin and so many more who are doing the Lord's work literally.

But this is – it's just a frustrating thing for a lot of people that know the truth behind this, that how many people it can help and then how many people who are being damaged by these unfair, unjust, immoral and illogical laws.

Well, the algorithm is based on your interaction.

And unfortunately, people tend to lean towards those things.

Yeah.

That's the problem.

The algorithm is not evil.

The problem is human beings can be easily manipulated by their own ideas and these ideas that they have and this inclination to pay more attention to things that outrage you.

And fear.

Things that cause rage and fear and distrust.

Unfortunately, things that you hate, those are the things you pay attention to the most.

That's right.

But the problem is cops deal with the very small percentage of people that aren't.

And to require officers to be able to escape that and have objectivity is crazy.

Like how?

How?

Through what mechanism of the human mind allows you to ignore all the evidence that you see on a daily basis?

Your evidence.

Right.

Yeah, it's a dark predicament because there's a lot of people that are going to fall victim before anything gets changed.
