If you're not in that world, you don't have a community now.

If you're not in that world, you don't have a community now.

You know? But now if you get left behind in that world, you also don't have a community. So now you have to pay to stay a part of your community. And so now there's kids who I can only imagine are raiding their parents' credit cards or like finding ways to get money because the game perpetually wants from you. And if you talk to game companies now, they'll say, oh, no, but it's free to play.

It's like, yeah, that's the same thing.

It's like, yeah, that's the same thing.

Yeah. So what does that do? So let's say you're a parent of boys listening to this right now, or you may be one of those boys. Tell us why it's so bad. Because I, in COVID, for instance, I loved it. And then now, because it's not in my life in the same way, like literally, I think this morning, a friend sent me a link, one of the crew, and he was like, oh, they're bringing it back for dance.

Are you coming? And I was like, ah, we'll see. I don't know. But for somebody who's really in it and they go, no, Jonathan, this is my community, my life. I have fun. I enjoy myself. I see nothing wrong. What is the wrong that we may not be seeing?

That's why we did this. Because we go like... we haven't been able to quantify it, right? And I know people will be like, oh, but we can do it over Zoom and it's efficient. And I think this is what I think people have missed. And I know I was guilty of it at some point as well. Yes, it is more efficient.

It is way more efficient to have a meeting over Zoom or to run your whole business day from Zoom. It is more efficient. However, there's something we forget. Life is not only about efficiency. Life is not only about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible. Life is about sharing connections with other human beings, sharing a vibrancy, sharing a resonance, sharing a frequency.

It's literally about that. And people don't realize this. And I'm sure you've experienced it. Think of all the Zoom meetings you've had and think of how little connection you share with the people, right? There's very little fluff. And I think we forget, and I've often said this, look, I think most office work is fake and it's fine. I don't care about that.

I think it's good that it's fake because I think people just need to come together and have a purpose. The thing that makes the meeting the meeting is, yes, there's a little bit of work, but it's more just about these people coming together, looking into each other's eyes, which I think helps us as people.

And we see micro expressions and we regulate each other and we laugh together and we get sad together and then we think together. And that collectiveness of people, I think we lose. And so you're right. If we were having this conversation over Zoom, you give us information, but you give us no feelings.
