But it sort of led to like, you know, I think a certain level of like, you know, it's like when you hit me with the most outrageous quotes that you could find from my writing in 2008 or whatever, I'm basically like, yeah, the sentiments behind that I can explain and articulate and they were serious sentiments and they're serious now. Would I have expressed it that way? Would I have trolled?

I'm always trying to get less trollish. Like, you know, over time, you'll see that I've definitely gotten less trolly. On the other hand, you know, if you read my recent blog posts, I can't really resist trolling Elon Musk, which might be part of the reason why I've never met Elon Musk.

No, it definitely hasn't gotten, it hasn't gone far. I mean, no, I mean the, the, the trolling, like what I realized when I look back is that actually.

Well, you know, I can lead a horse to water, of course. I think that as the sort of walls fall away and you start to explore ideas that are sort of outside the very narrow bubble of the present that we live in, because there's no...

I think it's impossible to deny that the variety of ideas in the space which intelligent, thoughtful people like you sort of consider has grown sharply narrower in the 20th century. And if there's really one thing that I kind of want to do the most, say, with this conversation, is to kind of make people feel like they can basically step outside of the very small box that they grew up in.

And they can say, not everything outside that box is perfect. Many things outside that box are absolutely horrible. I'm not asking anyone to become a Nazi or an anti-Semite or even a misogynist, whatever that means. I'm asking them to sort of acknowledge that there are cases in which our judgment of the past is completely right.

And yet there are also ways in which the whole past would very unanimously point to things that we're doing and say, that's crazy, I can't believe you're doing that.
