There's nothing good about alcohol.
But I think I should have a choice on whether or not I want to consume alcohol, whether or not I consume tobacco, whether or not I consume processed goods.
And the recognition that it's bad for you should be publicized by the government should be publicized by the government.
We never talk about responsibility.
We always talk about where the government failed us and where these companies f***ed us.
And we never talk about what did we individually do wrong?
How did I individually choose to eat 100 f***ing sodas a week?
How did I individually choose to get my kids addicted to social media?
Where the f*** was I as a parent?
Like we don't talk about our responsibility.
And by the way, this fundamentally addresses this point about human agency, which I think is more critical in this era than ever, because AI is going to flood us with everything all the time, nonstop.
What we choose to do in a world where we're already getting everything, and how we choose to not take everything that's being offered to us, I think is a critical part of what's going to distinguish human success from human failure.
And it's going to become more apparent in the future.
And not everything is about liability and not everything is about the government failing us.
It's about people making choices and we don't talk about it.
What about a whiskey company selling whiskey to an alcoholic?
What about a potato chip company selling potato chips to an obese person?
That's absolutely true.
The kids being assaulted, absolutely true.
Not releasing information about the level of addiction if they had it, that's certainly bad.
