Because ultimately it is our fault.
We have to hold ourselves in check and we have to recognize these things in us and say, I'm not going to participate in that.
I'm not going to give this creator any attention because all they're doing is fucking trying to create rage bait.
They don't really care about the issues.
They don't really care about was this racist or not.
They just care about fucking views.
It's just a new platform.
I think it's like we're acting like a whole bunch of 8th grade gossiping little shits ultimately what it comes down to but I had a question for you how do you think you get the most out of people by expecting less of them or by expecting more definitely expecting more so I think the only disagreement is that
And I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but I think you could keep on going back of having these low expectations of people and then basing regulation and policies based upon that low expectation.
Well, I guess my only disagreement there would be that I think that that number would be a lot less than what you think it is.
I think that if we started expecting more from our citizens, started saying, you are capable, you are powerful, and had these messages of positivity, I think that a lot of people would actually change.
And my counter to that would be going down the line that we're going down right now, I would say I can't even hope so because I would say there's nothing in history that shows me that, yeah, government and politics ever fucking got it right.
So it's just like I'm at the point where it's like, okay, enough is enough.
It's time to have another kind of experiment to say, hey, let's take our heads out of our asses.
Let's not double down on ignorance.
And let's say here are the things that aren't working.
So the discussion we had yesterday when I was talking about religion and how I said that I'm a non-theist, I believe the human condition is one of uncertainty.
You cannot conclude uncertainty.
You can't.
Huh?
