When did they introduce that law?

And I don't know if this is a myth.

Okay, because I remember reading once, and again, I should go and double check it now, now that we have better search tools, that they changed the rules about like ads specifically, where an ad has to be longer than a certain period of time on screen.

Otherwise, people don't know that they've seen the ad.

It's like you could just flash something and then people are like, hmm, I'm craving something now.

But this is something that's always confused me.

Like you're talking about the leaders are now in a room.

I've always wondered, do cult leaders themselves believe in the cults?

Yeah, it's a great question.

But do they, though?

Okay, but now this introduces now... I'll say one more thing that's important.

Yeah, definitely.

No, no.

What I'm saying about insane is like I go, it's just crazy.

Like the CIA, that's what my brain was thinking.

It was just like, wait, what?

Wait, what's happening here?

You see, but this is what I mean about where we draw the distinctions.

Because in my head, I'm going, I hear when there are specific cults and then I understand what you're saying about the B-I-T-E, right?

But then I go, it feels like, and maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like to me, there are some overlaps between things that are cult-ish
