And I'm not saying Greta Thunberg should be running global policy, but I just think it's funny to be like- I don't know if she's the Antichrist.

Yeah, I wonder if people would even be able to correctly identify Christ or the Antichrist these days because people would just be like, they're just a little neurodivergent.

No, yeah.

The second everyone loves you, your Brian Noh moment will happen.

We don't want to love people.

Whatever, he's riffing.

I mean, I don't think that's the Antichrist, but you can see the way that people are turning on these technologies.

And if your entire ethic is the advancement of technology, then you're like, hey, we're shooting ourselves in the foot.

Yeah.

So and that's where I think where a lot of this came to a head is that clip from the Ross Douthat interview where he's like, do you think humans should exist?

Yeah, but he's kind of like, and I'll give him credit, like if you're really trying to answer something in an interesting way, you're gonna think for a little bit, but that shouldn't be a thinker.

And I think the average person is like, right, but there's also a people answer.

There's like a being a human answer, which shouldn't require that.

Yeah.

But I do understand.

I also think he is not sure.

I think it's possible he's not sure.

Which that is also scary.

And I think this is all interesting from a philosophical standpoint, but then when you realize the companies that he's running and his deep connection with the government in this country and the fact that he has impact on public policy and the government is supposed to be for the people and not for this guy's weird desires, that's where it gets a little wonky.

So you think vibes-wise, people are like, well, at least now I don't have to read or think about the potential that he was involved in that.
