The problem becomes when that warning flag misfires, it becomes hyperactive. So I check that the back door is closed, but then I'm stuck there for the next four hours checking that the door is closed. Well, this is the same idea with empathy. Yes, be empathetic, but not orgiastically so, right? Like life is about regulation. It's about how

having the right amount in the right place to the right people. So yes, empathy is good within normal ranges.

Oh, of course. Big time. I mean, all of them were in mourning when the ultra-empathetic Justin Trudeau resigned recently, right? All of them were big champions of his because he was so kind.

So, of course, they are, you know, stricken with suicidal empathy. Now, I should say to your earlier point that there is a bit of a pushback.

I do. I do. Look, life, as you know, is full of cycles, down cycles, up cycles. I'd like to think that what we're seeing now, this kind of new renaissance, this new optimism, is not just a little bleep of a Donald Trump positive outlier, but rather he started the train onto a new renaissance period.
