Yeah.

But at the same time I was thinking about this morning because I was I attended a talk about actually American politics and how divided they are.

And this thought came about where I was thinking twenty years ago we were all so excited about Facebook, about friendster, right?

Right?

All these different things.

I remember Friends too.

I went Asian there.

My space.

The excitement was really because it was we were able to communicate to a mass audience faster.

A mass.

Faster.

Our old high school friends, whatever it might be, people we we hadn't c connected with in so long.

And that thought of connecting better, faster, somehow over the last twenty years has changed and it's devolved almost.

I wouldn't say evolved because evolved is a positive sentiment, devolved into this place where we all actually divide ourselves by clans, by cliques, by whatever it is.

And actually, lines of communication have broken down.

Yeah.

In the last 20 years, lines of communication have broken down.

This is why the US is so politically divided.

This is probably why places like the Philippines is also very politically divided.
