And Hitchens did a great speech.
It was in Toronto about free speech.
And one of the things he was talking about is when somebody says something that you don't agree with.
I think the example he gave was Holocaust denial.

I just kind of stand there with my hands like this.
And I just stand there and I think or I go through arguments or I go through conversations or debates.
And that's the one time I really get to think during the day where I don't let anything else interfere.
But being off social media is probably a lot healthier.
Just again, it's other people's thoughts.
