And they're all telling you what they think of you and they're all like cursing at you and calling you names.

Like, and so it's just like this, like really, really brain melting experience.

So that's part one.

So we just, we experience reality differently as a result of that.

And so the thought experiment I always have is, you know, we talk a lot about the impact of the internet and social media on politics.

It's like, well, okay, like imagine having social media during World War II, right?

Like we would have had a completely different national experience, you know, had like Pearl Harbor happened with like Twitter, right?

Like, it would have been a completely different experience than the way people live through, you know, Pearl Harbor in actually 1941 with, you know, primarily with TV and radio.

And so anyway, so there's a global village thing.

And then there's this other thing that he said, which he originally said about television.

He made this key observation.

He said, this is part of his thing where he said the medium is the message.

So the actual medium of the media technology actually determines a lot of the message of what's received, a lot of the content.

And specifically, he said this thing.

He said, if it's on television, it's a television show.

And what he meant by that is if something's going to be on television, it's going to end up being turned into the equivalent of like a half hour comedy or an hour long drama.

Right.

Basically, you know, the two native media forms of television are the half hour comedy or the hour long drama.

And so you're going to get this basically very emotional.

You're going to get this very polished and sort of glossy and produced thing that's going to it's going to be a story and it's going to run the way that a television story runs or a television show runs.
