I'm not going to counterattack, but I'm going to defend my own territory.

So that requires some art, some subtlety and is difficult to do.

Generally speaking, don't take sides.

Don't be egotistical.

And if you're surrounded by a lot of drama, two things you should consider is what is your contribution to it?

And secondly, if your contribution is really not very much, then you should consider finding a different group of people.

So oftentimes, we will get attracted to certain drama-oriented circles.

It's hard.

And then, oh, this is another example.

So if you're saying when drama is everywhere and you mean like things like the internet, well, like, yeah, that's because much like in real life, see, real life has an algorithm just like the internet.

And depending on what you engage with in real life, you will like get engaged with a certain algorithm.

So if I click on some video about, you know, masculinity on YouTube, eventually I'm going to see Jordan Peterson, right?

It's going to happen.

It has to happen.

So once I get on a pipeline, I'm going to wind up in a particular place.

The crazy thing that people don't realize is that life has an algorithm as well.

Where like there are certain people who like once you, you know, if you have a group of friends who's pretty chill and one like drama llama shows up, like we're going to deselect for that person.

And if you hang out with a bunch of potheads, you're going to enter the pothead algorithm of life.

If you join degenerate gamers, you're going to enter the degenerate gamer algorithm of life.

If you go to a place like an Ivy League institution, you will join that algorithm, not for life, but for that period.
