Think about multiple billions of people on Facebook at a given time. That is historic in the sense of humanity. We have not connected people in this way ever before. It is a media revolution on par with something like the invention of the printing press. And if you go back to that, that's... centuries of tumult and disruption.

And I think that like everything in the internet age, we will speed run that. But I think like we are all trying to figure out what the hell is going on, how to process it. Like it is rewiring our relationships to each other and to ourselves. And I think that it's this long process, process, right?

Where we develop new norms around how to communicate, how to share, how to do all these different things. It's a very unsatisfying answer. But I think when people are like, what button can I push to make life more sane? It's like, there is no button. There's no net underneath. Like, this is a new experiment for civilization to be doing this.

And unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I don't know, we're all sort of born and living in this time period of like massive, massive societal, technological, cultural disruption. And it's bonkers.

Yeah. I mean, the very nature of, like, if you go back and you read the Bitcoin white paper, which I don't really suggest anyone does, it's only like 11 pages, but it's pretty dry.

Depending. If you read it, like, obviously, it's not overtly political, but it is a political notion to want to build a technology that, you know, circumvents the need for middlemen or middle institutions or it's basically, you know, trying to come up with a decentralized form of global finance, right? Yeah. that in itself is just, it's an anti-institutional idea.

And that technology, when it first, you know, came out and no one was really caring about it except for like engineers and super nerds. And I mean that, you know, in a, in a, in a loving way, like those types of people are like techno cyber libertarians, right?
