And I'm not saying this in like the conspiratorial sense. I'm saying this at a, this is what a lot of people, a lot of the worst people in our society believe because it's convenient for them. And they have pushed to make that belief more common and done so by funding think tanks and funding media organizations in part. Right.

I think the key thing is here is that we see throughout time, like, really extreme societies that try to mold people in certain ways with the idea of permanently changing them.

Well, you're never going to get people to stop mingling with other kinds of people. You simply can't, it's never worked and it never will. Right. Like that. That's an impossible dream.
