I think we all operate right now in understandings about the world, perceptions about the world, rather than lived reality.

And the only way to, I think, eject from that spiral is to actually engage in these conversations.

The last thing I'll just say on this is that if you're listening to this and you say, everything that Don and Manu just talked about sounds great, but it sounds really naive, right?

Given the moment that we live in.

I mean, the first question I get is like, is dialogue...

necessary for the moment.

And I'll just say to your point that if we approach this moment with the conviction of because I disagree with people that might be in positions of power, I will hate my fellow Americans.

I think that it will only continue the death spiral of affective polarization that's just going to continue splitting the country apart.

And I think there's a unique opportunity right now where people are interested in curiosity.

I don't know, man.

For a second, when you started playing it, I thought it was a trick question.

I'm like, this feels pretty cringe to me.

I am a boomer at heart.

Believe it or not, I don't have TikTok on my phone.

I see social media as purely a vessel to communicate because that's the world we live in right now.

I will say that I think both parties need to recognize that there's a skepticism that unites Gen Z. Skepticism of institutions, skepticism of elite.

And if the goal of the question is like, how does the Democratic Party get more young people?

Frankly, there's much smarter people to answer that question.

But I'll just say that, why don't we stop playing to the content of the moment?
