Yeah. Well, we also, it also provides a possibility of, of progress through common ground and compromise. I mean, essentially every success in humanity has been predicated on our unique special ability to cooperate flexibly at scale. Like everything big that we've built as a species has required some degree of a large scale cooperation.

And I mean, I was running these seminars in the fall, this past fall, on how to have stressful conversations. And at the end, I would get Trump supporters and Harris supporters on stage, and they would essentially look each other in the eye and say, here's my greatest hope. Here's my greatest loss. you know, here's the most important relationships in my life.

They would actually say that to each other. And then I'd flip them and say, Hey, tell your quote unquote adversaries narrative. And then they would. And then they say, Oh, what are the, then I'd ask them like, why are you, you know, supporting this candidate, that candidate. And then they do the steel manning thing of like, Oh yeah, this is why this person's supporting that candidate.

And at the end they would hug These people, like in the most incendiary time in an era of just intense political vitriol, where the invective is so deep that we barely can have a conversation. I mean, we can't even have a conversation, you know, that I would see this before my eyes, people then hugging each other and seeing and recognizing each other's common humanity.

I was like, there is something to this. And here's the last bit of this is that if you can have a hard, stressful conversation, with someone you don't even really know, could it be possible to have that conversation with the people that are most dear and important to you? And we tend to avoid those, you know, like your kids, your best friends, your parents, like my parents are in their 80s.

Yeah, because they have developed an ability to emotionally regulate, probably, to move back to center. And again, I would say that all of the protocols... that I embrace in my life, that's the one thing that they share. It's like, does this help me move back to center? Does this meditation practice help me move back to some degree of equipoise or emotional equilibrium?
