There's a lot of journalists that reach out to me.

And I find myself not wanting to talk to them.

Because I don't know if the other person on the side is coming in good faith.

Even on silly stuff.

I'm not a... Same way.

I'm not a... I don't have anything to hide.

You don't really have anything to hide.

But you don't know...

what their like spin is.

And it's nice when that reputation is your own individual.

So like you have a YouTube channel, you're one individual, right?

So people trust that because you have a huge disincentive to screw people over.

True.

I feel like if you're in the New York Times, if you screw somebody over, the New York Times gets the hit, not you individually.

So you can like...

you're safer, but like, the reason I don't screw people over is I know that, well, there's my own ethics and integrity, but also there's a strong incentive to like, because you're now, I'm going, that person is going to go public with me screwing them over, completely lying about everything, how I presented the person, for example, and that's just going to, you know, that's going to percolate throughout the populace, and they're going to be like, Lex is the person that's lying,

lying sack of shit.

And so there's a huge disincentive to do that.

Yeah.

Journalists don't have that.
