Such a fantastic book. But she has this concept in it that I always think about when we think about like, well, how do people get their mind changed? How do they sort of switch tracks? Because I think we've all seen this happen. I know that... I see it after spending a couple years abroad and then I come back and somebody has ideologically changed remarkably.

And it's like, well, how did this happen? And so she has this idea of the right to a future tense. And the right to a future tense means that People sort of have this psychological need to believe that in their future, things are going, they're going to be healthier, wealthier, and more secure, right? Even if marginally.

And so if they are deprived of that right of a future tense, they're gonna start believing in something, even though it doesn't bear much relationship to reality, they'll start believing in something that gives them that same right to a future tense.

And this was something that I was seeing from that cab driver in Albania who actually randomly ended up in his cab like three months later because there's just so many cabs in Tirana, Albania. And I didn't want to, you know, like say, you know, that was – nothing happened that he said because like – I mean I'd imagine that he felt a little like –

depressed about it because he wanted his life to become remarkably better based upon the fulfillment of those prophecies. And at a certain point we were talking and he's like, yeah, none of those things happened. But you know what? Something's really messed up. And I was like, yeah, we can agree on that.

It's difficult to sort of see a future where everybody is healthier, wealthier and more secure right now. And so pouring our belief for that that idea of a future tense into fringe communities or to political strongman or whoever like that feels good because I want it to come from somewhere and I want that information to be reliable. But it's just difficult right now. Right.
