And it's, you just have to not live by lies to borrow from Solzhenitsyn.

Every time someone's lying to you or lying about something or wants you to lie, you have to just say, no, there's a problem here.

And if you take that mindset in whether it's someone pushing a conspiracy theory on you or trying to get you to mouth the preferred slogans of the regime, whether it's on transgender issues or climate change or Black Lives Matter or whatever it may be.

Trump worked with Russia to hack into the voting machines in 2020.

These are all or 2016.

These are all crazy ideas that have caught on dramatically in certain quarters.

The second that someone is lying to you have to recognize that there's a problem.

There's no good argument.

I'm lying to you for your own benefit stuff when it comes to these large narratives and these understandings of the world around us.

So but it's going to get harder.

And I'm very honest about that in the book.

It's going to get more and more difficult.

And I think that this is something that people hopefully that's why they'll get the book.

They'll see because, again, I break down in each chapter.

There's specifics about the tactics, the repetition, the things that are done.

Fire hose of falsehood.

I mean, there's a whole book.

Right.

So people can go see how I lay these things out.

But I think also familiarity with them, Ben, is a very useful part of the defense against falling into this kind of thought reform, as the Maoists would call it, or brainwashing, as I think we call it much more readily here.
