And so they live in a world where they go, oh, no, you just report for offensive content, report for, you know, report, report, report. But they themselves have never actually said to another human being, hey, would you mind not doing that?

Don't go anywhere because we've got more What Now? after this.

But can I tell you a secret, though? And I agree with you on this because I really try and figure out how we can solve this issue, especially after we talk to Robert Putnam on the podcast. Mm-hmm. I think the truth is that we think we don't have the third spaces, but it's just because we've made every space a private space.

I remember driving one day and I was irritated because I was in the car trying to get to an airport and the road was closed. But I loved the fact that I saw someone hitting a ball, a baseball, and then people running. The whole street was just closed. And I was like, oh, we've been tricked into thinking the thing that's right outside our door is not a third space.

And I'm telling you that when I grew up, they didn't exist. Black kids couldn't go to a library. There was no park. During apartheid, none of this exists. But I have the full childhood that you're talking about. Because the third space was the street.
