We decided the plan was to then get rid of peanuts everywhere, and that would solve the peanut allergy plan, a problem.

Now, no one ever said, except for me, I don't get it.

Why is everyone allergic to peanuts in the last 10 minutes?

Maybe that's a better question than hide all the peanuts.

But we reacted, and we got rid of peanuts.

All the peanuts.

And then more kids had peanut allergies.

And then at some point, a study just came out that said you must expose your kids to peanuts at a very young age so they won't have these allergies.

So the one thing we were hiding and putting and locking away in the cupboard and taking off a Southwest flight is the thing the kids needed the most.

And that metaphor will work with everything.

Yeah, well, we're back to the safety thing.

If we're doing safety Uber Alice, you are hurting your child, and they need to be exposed to peanuts and ideas they disagree with and microbiome and enzymes and everything.

They need...

You need exposure to everything and all the stuff you are trying to insulate your kid from in the name of safety is weakening your kid.

Now, it could be his mind and it could be his immune system and it could be his muscles.

But you are weakening that kid.

I always say.

The analogy I would always use is when they send people up to the space station and they have to stay there for a year, they lose muscle mass and bone density because there's no gravity.

They need gravity.

That's right.
