What would you say to those people?

You're in The Matrix.

You know, it's, it's, uh, yeah, you know, I think we're going to get deep.

Yeah, no, I mean, I, I'm with you, you know, my son just turned 18.

Um, and I wrote him a letter, uh, for his 18th birthday.

His mom did, we all did.

And, and one of the things that I put in there for advice I can give you for life is, you know, question everything and look for when, when you, when you are presented with a point of view on a subject, the first thing you should do is look for the counterpoint of view and then try to find the truth somewhere in the middle.

Cause I think that,

that type of thinking does you well.

And I think so much of society today is trapped in an echo chamber of their own making.

You know, you, you say something out loud and all of a sudden that's all you see on Twitter.

That's the only type of news you get.

That's all you get.

And it's just reinforcing these beliefs that are not, and usually the ones that get reinforced the most are not the ones that are the most healthy for you.

So if let's get deep off of business, you know, I mean, again, we're just pretending like we met at a bar.

So if you could change anything about how our society functions, what would it be?

I think that in its essence is the problem.

I think if you were to ask most people what their personal values are, they can't define them.

They don't know.

They don't know.
