I think it brings to mind how dangerous their attack on the public school system is. You know, while Trump is distracting everybody with fucking Greenland and Canada and the Gulf of America and just other stupid bullshit, we're watching the Department of Education get absolutely fucked. And they're going to rip it to shit and make it a disaster. But schools are where young people come together.
Schools are where they meet each other. Schools are why a lot of the public school kids I know are cooler than the private school kids I know. And it's really important for us to have these social spaces. I read some article.

And by that, I mean, I read the headline in the first two paragraphs about how young people are lacking social spaces where people go and cohabitate and hang out with each other. And that kind of just reminded me how my friends and I face that. Like, fortunately, as I've said so many times on this podcast, and I will continue to until the bulwark sends me an email to stop.

Fortunately, I'm really cool. So I can figure out these things for myself. But a lot of my friends kind of want a place to go where they can meet and hang out with other people. And we lack these things. And school, public school, is such an important part of that. And getting to know other people is such an important part of that.

I was a very lonely kid because I was never in tune with young people my age. I, in many ways, was much more mature than them and in other ways was much less mature than them. But I was very rarely as mature. I was just all over the place. And this speaks to something I normally talk about in greater length about how maturity is not a linear thing that just is some basic crescendo.

Maturity is a circle. And people grow out in all these different directions at different speeds and different ways. So I have friends in their late 30s who are extremely brilliant people where I make more mature decisions than they do in some situations. And then in many more situations, they're more mature than I am. But all this is to say...

I was a very lonely person because I was very different from my classmates. And I remember the feeling of feeling like there was no place for me in this world. And it is a very bad feeling and it can really ruin your life. And it left me thinking sometimes, what would happen if I just disappeared? And this is coming from someone who has the most loving family in the entire world.

My family treats me in such a great way. My parents went out of their way to say to me, the best version of yourself that you could be is the one that's the most Cameron. The best thing you could do is embark on the pursuit to become true to yourself. So I had the best support I could have ever had from my family. I couldn't be more grateful.
