And you swear you're certain that that's going to save you.

And then you get to a point and you're like, if it's just one degree off, the whole thing feels off.

And then is it more harm to go with the plan you had than to just try to stay in the moment and trust yourself to know what to say?

which is a big ask in this moment.

So today, Amanda, how are you?

I'm fucking terrible and also well.

Good.

I think I have one addition to what you're saying, which is that I want to double click on this being an intentional strategy, like the strategy of the overwhelm, the strategy of we can't possibly keep up.

And so...

The news cycles are going, the atrocities, you have New Gaza and fucking Jared Kushner is turning a war crime site of genocide into a real estate venture for war criminals.

And who the fuck is he?

Like, how did an individual man who has done nothing but defraud the government and the world...

is positioned to take over what should be a site of an international tribunal for war crimes and instead turn it into a profit-making center like it's a real estate deal.

You have that, and that's like a blip on the screen.

It's like, I don't even see anyone.

That's like one of the 700 things we're supposed to metabolize in one moment.

And so that is a strategy.

The strategy is a flood the zone strategy.

can't possibly acclimate or metabolize it.

And so you just feel like, what's the point?
