I think that our atomization is contributing to this very real fear of other people and people just hoarding their resources. So it kind of becomes like this self-fulfilling prophecy in a way, but the way we live our lives, I think, informs it a lot.

Yeah, I think your experience is also like informed by the body you're in, you know? So my experience as a black woman when I go to Nigeria and they kind of clock me as a westerner means like we can get money.

You're a white woman.

I can get money out of this one. You know, may vary in certain parts of Los Angeles. And, you know, so maybe lots of people in the world are like, you know what? When I come into a space, people aren't welcoming. And then that reinforces this idea.

I want to preface this. I'm actually an abolitionist. No, I know you are. I don't even believe in police. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that like... The way my perception is shaped as a woman is that like the violence. Completely. It's not, I'm not, I'm afraid of straight, you know, I don't like men in general.

That's why the table is like this size. I mean, just to keep you. It's often, it's not just strange men, it's familiar men, right? And so it's just like, I think for some groups, it's really, I find tremendous safety in other women.

And I'm like, oh, if the world was them, I'd feel differently. And I say that as someone that's like generally very optimistic about myself. I wouldn't have moved to America if I wasn't an optimistic person. But I've had these like core experiences that have shown me that I guess it was a lot of racism. People are wicked, right? It was a racism I received as like a child in the classroom.
