But then once you get in there and you kind of play around for a while, you don't, you lose that sensitivity and you feel normal again.
But yeah, it's, I think, and so what's been resonating is I've been, so I posted this on social.
I said, because a lot of people think that social media is like a vice or like a, you know, a bad habit.
But I reframed it and said, actually, I think it's pollution.
It's like microplastics or lead in the pipes or asbestos in the wall or like, you know, lead in the gasoline.
I think it really is like a societal pollution.
It accumulates in the body.
It creates low-grade inflammation.
And I've been sharing this.
So many people are like, I feel this.
But the problem is you can't, like telling someone to turn it off is like telling someone to not breathe coal smoke in London in the 19th century.
Or if there's water pollution, the solution for water pollution in London in the 19th century was not to say don't drink water.
It was to filter the water.
So I think the solution here is, I propose this, that if people could build AI to basically create a layer of protection between me and the internet, me and the social feed, extract out all the performative metrics, extract out all the garbage, all the slop, and give me the goodness.
But I want someone to, it would be cool if someone could build,
social media into a longevity therapy versus like a, actually having a cigarette.
Like help me when I engage with it.
