Well, and, you know, when you think about what, like, the social media algorithms do and how we end up seeing the content that we agree with more regularly, we interact with people who think like us more regularly, right? We just are seeing that...

We're connected – I put that sort of in quotes but connected to more people than ever before but not really because one, we're only seeing a very specific sliver of their lives and we're not having – we're not necessarily engaging with people who are different from us very regularly.

I mean, do you guys notice that we're any angrier now than we were in the past?

Yeah. I wish we could go back in time and have some sort of an anger thermometer that could measure anger over time because this is the question that I think everybody wants to know the answer to is, are we angrier now than we used to be? And in so many ways, it sure seems like we are because we see tons of examples of it. We see so much rage.

I think the parts that we don't have answers to is, one, is a lot of that rage just more visible now than it used to be? Are we seeing it more now because of social media? So we get more stuff captured on video than we ever did. And that might be what's happening, that those things were happening before, we just didn't know.

It could also be that particular expression styles have become normalized, right? So yelling, screaming, those things, like hostility, those things are becoming more common. Yeah, and so maybe that anger was there, but those outward expressions are much more common now. I think there is some reason to think we're angrier now than we used to be.

I mean, I think like we're... The stuff we just were saying about social media is definitely bringing out, I think, more.
