Systemic racism. So we're in this kind of very negative loop that becomes multigenerational because I think culturally sometimes we don't have the words. Someone's anxious. They may say my nerves is bad. They're not going to say that like I have anxiety.

Do you know what I'm saying? Trevor, normally I agree with you when you say stuff about capitalism and office workers and the ADHD brain. I'm with you on that.
