And then you combine these two and it's like, okay, for better or for worse, we're all in the same room now.

We're like literally in the same global village and we're sort of surfing controversial internet meme moments over and over and over and over again.

And as far as I can tell, like if you look at the numbers, basically what happens is each viral social media meme explosion, it basically is this huge spike up and then it's like this half-life decay and it lasts about two and a half days.

Right.

And so each social media basically experience is like a two and a half day basically panic cycle.

And then what happens is the old one isn't necessarily ever like resolved or reconciled.

What happens is a new one appears, a new current thing appears.

Right.

And just takes over the, you know, takes over the outrage.

Right.

And all the emotional energy that applied to the old one applies to the new one.

Everybody forgets the old one even happened.

Like a week later, you can't even like what was the social media like craze of like seven days ago?

I mean, it might as well have been like a thousand years ago, like lost to the mists of time.

Nobody knows.

Like seven days ago, whatever it was, was the most important thing that's ever happened.

And seven days later, it's like, it never, it never, not, not even a piece, like nothing.

It's just like completely gone.

Right.

And so you're just going to have this like basically repeated sort of, you know, emotional shotgun blasts over and over every two and a half days, you know, essentially forever.
