And I think in the coming year, I think we will see an even larger backlash, especially in the UK with Facebook and Cambridge Analytica and all of these data mining companies that influence us every day.

And not just on elections, but the products we buy, what we're thinking, you know, all of that is so heavily influenced.

We don't even realize it at all.

But I think people are underestimating the power of Cambridge and how deep the analytics actually went and also how easily influenced we are as humans.

You know what I mean?

We all statistically stick to one or two issues and that's what we vote on.

We all have one thing that really gets us.

And if you have all the analytics from me for the past 10 years of my life, you can very easily look through that and you know exactly what's going to like turn me on or off or vote this way or do that or not buy that or buy this.

That's the power of these algorithms that no one truly understands.

I sob.

I think that's a really big part of it.

I think that it was sort of what I was saying before about the shock of the new.

I think that there is going to be a reduction in that just by nature and that as new generations come up and they're more used to sort of processing the information that comes that way, I do believe they'll be less susceptible to being propagandized by that information because they're like, oh my god, you're in my face with your political views and I don't know what to do.

So I think that there's a generation right now that was very susceptible to Russian disinfo campaigns, to America's – I'm with you.

I don't think there's any evidence that the Russians literally influenced that election in a way that votes were changed.

I think that –

I would argue that American disinfo campaigns were at least as effective as Russian, if not more so, and there were many of them.

And they've been going on before there was an internet.

So there's all kinds of crap that's coming at you during an election.

Me too.
