What is going to emerge because the entertainment structure is being broke, entertainment business structure is being broken, is going to be a new genre, something that has been delayed for 20 years. And I'm so excited for it. Like my whole reason I was- is for this thing that's emerging now on the other side.
Yeah, in a different way. This has to do with the breaking of structures so that new things can pop up. And certainly that pressing down that we had over the last eight years was... very helpful to keep that structure pressed down and keep everything the same, everything the same.
Also making people feel like whoever's got their own personal brand or whatever, the influencers or whatever, the idea that they need to stay the same because you have advertisers where it's a lot easier to sell to people if they stay the same. Anyway, not to go off on a tangent, but a lot of people invested in maintaining a particular brand, which is not how we're supposed to function.
So the, so the pressing down was, was just used. I mean, the way that was able to come in and press down on us was that we had, we had a lot of fear and we had, and Drew, maybe you've come across this. We had this, suddenly we had this worship of victimhood and that really gave a lot to all of this.
Because, you know, in the past and now going forward... you'll have a, Oh, what's this quote here? Will you read it to me? I can't see it.
Um, Yeah, it's really interesting. What's in it?
Yeah, but that quote is from what Michael was quoting, and I don't know what that book was.
Think about it. If... I mean, the fact that everybody made victimhood, it was like in the past and now going forward, if you've got something going on that's blocking you from really being yourself from, and that's the goal, right? I mean, everything I'm saying, the relationship with God, the whole thing, the whole goal is to become the most yourself as possible.
Because when you do that, you get rid of the fears that keep you from that. Then, man, we all benefit. You're living a full life and everybody benefits from whatever is now freely flowing through you because. That's right. Okay.
So in the past, if you had something that was blocking you from that or now going forward, you would go to a therapist or 12 Steps or whatever works for you and you would get at the root reasons and get rid of it.
Well, what happened with this whole woke thing, the way that started, is people started, and I would have to give some thought on exactly how the, I did a post on the Victim Olympics, but how exactly the championing the victim, like making that aspirational, Making that aspiration.
And I think it has to do, just off the top of my head now, I think it has to do with seeing people getting attention for truly having Asperger's or truly, yeah, it was the whole Me Too thing, right? It was that. And that's what I write about in that.
That's why I wrote, this is how the Me Too movement became the Me, Me, Me, Me Too moment. And that was people seeing attention being paid to other people that had had these very unfortunate situations. And then wanting to participate in the conversation, but not being able to. And if you're prone to feeling left out, this moment in history is going to be the worst moment you could have been in.
Because it's so very easy to feel left out. All you have to do is open X or Facebook or whatever. And you're like, I can't, I don't qualify for the trending hashtag. You know, how do I be a part of this? Then they started widening, they started lowering the bar for qualifying for that. And then you had, and then you had people, that's it.
And then you had people wanting to hold onto that as if it was a badge on a Girl Scout sash. You know, I have this invisible disability and this and I was this and I was this and I was this and not wanting to fix it, not wanting to go to therapy or 12-step program or anything or get at the root of it because they're getting attention because of these things. illnesses, if you will.
I mean, it was truly Munchausen syndrome for a lot of people. And they felt that they got more attention and were more important by holding onto these things than they would be if they let go of them. That's how it seemed to me.
Maybe 2017. Is that right?
Maybe. I mean, it was... It could be. And it goes into what it was like, the life cycle of fame, you know, from beginning equilibrium and then the without when it goes away, you know, so I experienced the full life cycle. And some people like Brad Pitt, you know, you go to equilibrium and he'll die at the equilibrium. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
But then also how we democratize.
It just keeps getting bigger.
