You just laid it out.
We're emotionally dysregulated.
We're distrustful of each other.
We don't trust ourselves very much and we're disconnected.
I can't give up on people though.
I'm not built that way.
Like, I just believe that we are more good than greedy.
You know, I was in conversation with Trevor Noah at an event and I mentioned this term that I was really excited about and he challenged me on it.
And I said, I think what we need is cognitive sovereignty.
We need to wrestle control away from the algorithms and decide what we consume, what we read, how we think, think critically.
We need to think about our attention and our focus as commodities that people are after because they're after them, right?
He had an interesting point, though.
He always has interesting points, don't you think?
It's so tough to talk to Trevor because he's always got an interesting point.
He's always got an interesting point.
