Lucy Biggers

So I think I started to get spending a lot more time on social media through work and in my 20s.

And I think I just started getting exposed to ideas.

And I think I would say to my parents or like my dad, I'd be like, oh, the world is such an awful place.

Like there's so much inequality and suffering.

He'd be like, it's not that bad.

I don't know like what you're talking about.

I'd be like, oh, he's so out of touch.

Like he's so privileged.

And so I think he didn't really know how to, he didn't really say, Lucy, what are you worried about?

Like, I think it's like, get specific.

What's so bad about the world?

What is it about America?

What is it about inequality in America?

And I think bringing an international context of other countries and how other people live would have really helped ground me, because I started to just think that America was uniquely evil and capitalism was uniquely evil.

I had no context, and I just kind of fell for it hook, line, and sinker, which is embarrassing.

And I think...

No, no, I know, but it's really important because it's very common and I'm not embarrassed at all.

I think it's whatever.

It's fine.

I think it's kind of the issue of our time with this disconnect between the older generations and the social media.
