And now they're going to have to adjust to a life without a good thing.

So I like that frame. I like that frame. It's often more... I would say comfortable, I don't know, if the alcoholic has hit their bottom rather than the alcohol just being removed. So a lot of these people are going to have a hard time adjusting now to how to be themselves, having to see what they are, having to find. But I agree with you.

I am excited for them that now they can discover who they really are.

There's a great book. I can't remember the title right now, Drew, but I'll email it to you or something. Yeah. Oh, I've talked about it before. It's about mobs, and it was written in the 1800s, and I pulled it out during 2020 because I'd read it before.

Well, but a different author. The Madness of Crowds is a different author. Anyway, it goes into like Tulip Mania, the 1600s, the witch burning and all of this. And I looked at it before, but then I picked it up again in 2020 because I looked at it before and thought what you said. oh, these are just, oh, that's what people used to be like. We've evolved though, right?

But it's the beginning of 2020 when everybody was flipping out. And I was like, oh shit, we're exactly the same. We are not different. And that momentum, I could feel that momentum start then. I was like, oh man, this won't end until enough individuals decide this is over. And that's what the election, you know, earlier, you know, what was a month ago, that that's what that did.

It showed enough individuals were like, no, I'm done with this.

Well, I think, you know, I just did a post on my Substack about how one can be attacked by the enemy, the other side, like whatever you want to call it. If you have buttons, you can be hit. You can be attacked in your mind or through other people. And, you know, I think a lot of these people that went along with this momentum were just terrified. So I... That's part of the movements.

I feel bad for them. But there's a way to get rid of those fears. And oftentimes they're irrational fears. So, you know, I give sort of a step by step if they want to go look at that sub stack post. It's just called spirit level. But, yeah, I feel bad for them for that. But there's a way out. You know, there's a way. And it's just anybody who's terrified can get swept up in something like that.

Uh, sure. Um, I go into a little bit in, in my book fame, you know, when I had, uh, uh, when somebody criticized me and I decided they were right and I was wrong. And then I had to examine like, why did I do that? What, what irrational fear did I have that served as an anchor point for that belief? You know what I mean? Because if I don't have that button, um, I'll give you an example.

Like if you're with a friend and they say, oh, we're going to meet my parents. And the mom says to your friend, like, oh, you're wearing that yellow jacket again. And then the parents go away. And then you guys, you and your friend go on to dinner. And then your friend says, can you believe my mother? And they're very upset. You believe what my mother said. You believe she brought up my jacket.
