And what you said about the not critical thinking is basically everything about it.

Because I think there's an emotional side of women where we're very empathetic.

And so we see suffering and we want to fix it.

And so I had a lack of boundaries of individuation between myself and what I can control and the suffering in the world.

And then again, social media.

kerosene on the fire, where we're now getting exposed to all of these different causes around the world.

You have to care about everything.

And then if you start to say, I don't want to care about something, I have an emotional boundary here, the movement will say, well, you're privileged for having an emotional boundary.

That's selfishness.

And so there was so many ways to hook you back in when you're in this movement.

And again, that's why even years after leaving, I would be on the edge.

I had to read every single one of Douglas Murray's books.

to be like, I'm not crazy, and re-create a foundation for myself that was not so anti-West and so just emotionally dispersed over the whole globe.

I felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders with all these different ideologies that I felt I had to push.

And for me, climate was the main one, but again, kind of everything, like your textbook, very left person.

So yeah, I mean, there's so much there.

100%.

I think, yeah, I think the social pressure to be seen with good within the group, wanting to have your impact on the world and to have a legacy and make a difference.

And...

having that desire, but because of the internet and social media, it's kind of dispersed over the globe versus caring about your own community near you, right?
