So I think there are a lot of people.
Right.
But there are a lot of people in these files who have different degrees of entanglement with him and different degrees of culpability.
And I think the moral panic part of this that I worry about is that it's understandable that many people look at this and they say, well,
I hate all these guys.
I want them all destroyed.
We're looking at a culture of impunity and entitlement and misogyny and just awfulness.
Let's just hang them all.
I don't care who gets fired, who loses their deals, what marriages unravel, et cetera.
And that is an understandable degree of outrage, but it is actually...
not a good thing for us culturally.
And it's not a set of really ethical intuitions that you want to stand behind going forward for the next situation.
There are people who just got named in a way that if I had a different place in the world, I could worry about my
harmless email here, which signaled my lack of my disinclination to have anything to do with the guy, I could worry that I might get fired if I were in a conventional situation of employment.
And I'm sure there are people who have been fired for merely being named here.
And no one should celebrate that.
That's just not the way justice gets done, as awful as many of the details are in these emails.
Well, we've covered many of the topics that I think are relevant here.
I mean, I do think that the overarching concern is that we have to break the spell of tribalism and dogmatism.
We have to notice how toxic those variables become.
