Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

So we looked it up.

Estonia is five times bigger than Israel.

And Estonia is one of the smallest countries in Europe.

I mean, we're talking about a piece of land that's so absurdly small, right?

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

Again, it's blown out of proportion because nobody actually looks at a map.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

Nobody looks at the numbers.

Digital Social Hour

We just say things like, well, my friend's dating a short guy.

Digital Social Hour

It's like, no, you have to look at the numbers for the data, right?

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

Right.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

So you look at a tiny little country which has no money to export.

It's like, why is the lobby so small?

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

It's $3 million.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

A foreign government's giving a billion dollars to the university right there and there.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

I mean, you can look up the numbers.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

It's like, because they don't have money to export.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

Like, yeah, they have some wealthy people like all countries do.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

They have some great startup companies like some countries do.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

But they're a tiny, tiny, tiny little piece of land that has got a lot of internal political whatever discourse and their own problems.

Digital Social Hour
Dimitry Toukhcher: How Truth Gets Erased Before Power Takes Over | DSH #1754

They don't have the money like Qatar, like Saudi Arabia to put out there and to buy political whatever.

And so then you get the things like, well, somebody goes on social media, they get $7,000 for saying something.
