Like, so a lot of these young columnists that I see, and I don't even know columnist is the right term anymore. Right. But like young people who traffic in opinions, they seem to figure out what everybody's already saying and then distill that into one thing and then give people back what what they already said in the first place. Because you can go workshop anything on the internet, right?

Like you can go figure out on a social media platform, how's this take going to go over and then decide if the people that you care about are going to feel the same way.

The refusal I see from other people to criticize within whatever the group may be, whether the group is the left, whether the group is black people, whether the group is young people, whether the group is fans of a particular team or whatever it is like we've got to have the healthy dialogue within that.

Well, the trick bag on that is if you give me time to talk it out, right? Like my explanation on it was all of us get humbled by life at some point. Neither you nor I hurt for confidence, right? We have both had moments where we were like, oh, okay, we got put in check just a little bit by the world.

The problem is when people believe that somebody is supposed to do it, typically believing that they themselves, the audacity to believe that you are the humbler, right? You ain't got to worry about that. The world's going to do that. And that's what happened to Shador. And so the thing with Shador in the draft was,

I just had a lot of people who had made the call that it was that there was something nefarious about the fact that he slid in the draft. And I'm like, no, I don't think that's what happened. I think that what happened was he wasn't necessarily talented enough to be a first round pick.
