All mean egotism vanishes.
And that's awe, awe quiets the self.
And when you look at where we are, you know, Gene Twenge, you know, longitudinal data, we're more self-focused.
You know, we're taking a quarter of the pictures that we take are of the self.
It's preposterous.
It's pretty crazy.
It's half of the photos we take are of the self or the self with another person or another thing.
It's perverse.
The world has become more narcissistic.
We're led by narcissists.
It's just taken as a default, and it's not a default.
It's a corruption of our minds because the mind, as you described earlier, is very good.
at looking at other people, at making eye contact, at seeing their beauty, at hearing their words, at looking at collectives, discerning patterns of nature, collectives.
And all of that works against awe, right?
You know, if I am focused on myself, I'll feel less awe.
If I am worried about my striving in society or my bottom line in my bank account, you know, or thinking about money, it countervails awe.
So, yeah, I think, you know, that's why awe is important for our times.
We are in this.
for various reasons, this period of too much self-focus, it's costing young people, it makes them anxious, you know, and they gotta go dance, they gotta hear some music, they gotta share stuff and go backpacking or whatever it is, you know, and just to get out of the self.
It is.
