And again, it's only gotten worse as the generations have gone on.

I think...

We're a weird generation where we're the first people to be exposed to all this stuff.

And I think obviously the way I'm gonna raise my kids and their access to social media is gonna be so different because I'm going to know what that technology is versus my parents didn't know.

And I think...

I don't know.

I think I just I got myself really I just got myself hooked up into the group of this very leftist thinking.

And again, when you start to also get career accolades and you start to get success from that and it becomes your social circle, even if you start to question it, which I did when I was in it, I didn't leave it because of all the other things that were then part of my life.

Um, and again, I will say, I think being part of groupthink and you kind of, um, give up your critical thinking to the group, it's a comfortable way to live.

And even when I would see in the climate movement some contradictions of how, like, these things were working and I go, how are we going to go exactly net zero?

Like, um, even when I would see those contradictions, I would think, oh, well, if I, like...

Go against the group.

I'm going to have to do a lot of work on myself because it's almost like you're having to stand up against the group and think about all the incoming you're about to get because people are no longer going to be looking at you as like a friendly.

You're now like an op and they're going to try to take you down and all this stuff.

And so I think that's also why it took me so many years between questioning this stuff and going public.

I think more people need to reclaim their autonomy and their critical thinking and their mind because I think that with, again, the algorithms, like, we've just given up so much of our thinking.

And I think there's so many ways, I was talking about this a little bit before, but, like, how they hook you back in.

And I think...

You know, even like one of the last ideas I had that kind of kept me in was like, cause it was such a nihilistic movement being part of the climate change movement.

And so I thought, oh my gosh, I don't want to think that the world's gonna end in 10 years, right?
