No.
Actually, I was just thinking about, like, if for some reason Americans were able to be totally silent while someone rolled through town that they didn't like, that, like, when I said we'd never be able to do it, like, I was fully imagining myself in the silent crowd not being able to stop myself from being like, who farted?
That it's so tempting to disturb, you know, the stillness.
I think I would be the weakest, the dumbest person in the mob.
I'm the person that changes us from a cohort into like a freak out.
I don't think I would be in a mob because I don't consider myself to be, like, an impulsive person and I don't have, like, sort ofโ
you know like the switchblade of a temper that just like comes out but I really love um friendly groups I love cooking I love it when people are like trying to help each other actualize their dreams and I like it when people like are dedicated to each other and a lot of times cults are like non-violent uh I used to have a stand-up bit about this actually about how like I would totally get drawn into the into a cult because like I like all the things that they do except I don't like
having to be naked in a group of people and I don't like having to do like oral sex to like a very very elderly person who has a long beard which I feel like they make you do like the head of the cult that is that's in the cult bylaws there's usually some guy who's like you know what actually a lot of the more interesting members of the cult are doing yeah yeah but wait why haven't you you fallen into a cult then
There are lots of them out there.
Okay, I've got a strong family, really great friends that are like, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't go in there.
Why would we have to do that though?
Like, you know, like if we're all going to transcend and like, you know, have clear minds or like, why would we need to do that?
Yeah.
And you know, it is a good place to start for me sometimes.
It's like, I will ask myself or sometimes other people, like if this were a movie, who would you be?
And, like, what part of the story, like, would it seem like a good story?
If this were a parable, if this were, like, a religious text or a fairy tale, who would you be?
Who would they be?
Yeah.
Totally.
