And I want you to tell me what you think of this afterwards.

And I sat next to my sons.

And by the end of it, every single time, you know, when I asked them, was it as scary as you thought it was going to be?

And they're always like, no, daddy, that was fine.

And I'm like, that's one of the great lessons in life.

The fear that you don't go through becomes much bigger in your head than actually simply facing it.

That's one of the reasons why I'm fighting back against this culture.

I love, you know, for all of our kids to be able to grow up in an environment where people give you grace and, you know, accept the fact that sometimes people are going to say things that piss you off, take seriously the possibility of being wrong and be curious.

Generation Z hates cancel culture the most.

And that's another reason why it's like people still claiming this is even happening.

It's kind of like, no, you actually can ask, you know, kids what they think of cancel culture and they hate it.

I am glad, though.

I mean, I'm one of those kids who is really glad that I was a little kid in the 80s and a teenager in the 90s because having everything potentially online, it's not an upbringing I envy.

Robert Wright, he wrote a book on Buddhism, and I talked about trying to use social media from a Buddhist perspective as if it's the collective unconscious meditating and seeing those little angry bits that are trying to cancel you or get you to shut up and just kind of letting them go the same way you're supposed to watch your thoughts kind of trail off.

Looking at the little sort of hateful, angry voices kind of pop up and be like,

Okay, there you are.

And I'm still focused on that thing.

Because that is one of the things is... Okay, yeah.

Actually, this is probably late in the game to be giving my grand theory on this stuff.

But... Never too late.
