You wouldn't have to worry about this.

Exactly.

Then when the wall fell, my host father told me, he's like, pretty much everyone who could went there.

I mean, you had people riding on the top of cars because most people didn't have a car and then you'd fill the car with your neighbors and then somebody would get in the trunk and another person's like, drive slowly and I'll hold on to the top of the car because I want to go.

And there's this old documentary footage where the border guard's like, I'm not going, there's nothing for me over there.

As people

People are just streaming past them.

And there's a German joke that says the old president at the time, his name was Erich Honecker, he was like the president or whatever you'd call it of East Germany.

And the joke is, hey man, don't forget to turn out the light because the last person in a room turns out the light in Germany.

So they're like, hey Erich, don't forget to turn out the light.

If you want to go there, you can.

All right.

Don't forget to turn off the lights, buddy.

Everybody's out of here.

You mentioned earlier we're wired for this.

I wonder, is there any sort of fMRI experiment that shows like, hey, when I conform to the group, I get a dopamine hit or something along those lines?

Some of my favorite studies on this.

Such a personal choice.
