Just for me.
And I know you got a whole book out of it very early on.
Again, you know, I trained in systems theory.
Right.
Was that an accelerant of all this as well?
And so all systems fall into a balance.
And that's called homeostasis.
You know, the balance of a system.
We're in a balance.
Everything's in a balance.
Everything's in every interaction.
The intricacies of human communication is always in this incredible complex balance, right?
But if you want to reorient, it doesn't mean it's balanced.
No, Brendan, it's in a balance, but it can be quite unbalanced.
There can be all sorts of dysfunction in that balance, right?
And if you want to realign the balance, you have to change your interactions with the person, change what you allow, right?
And you'll get pushback always because that's the system...
Yeah, yeah.
Kind of go back to what it was.
And so, as much as that's a collective thing, it's also about, like, atomization and aloneness.
