And, of course, nobody would buy it because nobody cares, right?

Because people want the news, right?

They want the new thing, right?

Or they want the hot thing.

They want the exciting thing.

They want the outrageous thing.

And so the Internet version of that is, right, they want the outrageous meme.

And so it's got to be something that provokes.

And, you know, and there's something about this, you know, this is – other people made this observation –

You know, it's like, you know, kind of the ultimate male coded version of this is professional wrestling, right?

The ultimate female coded version of this is like Real Housewives, like, you know, reality TV, like, you know, I don't know, and then The Apprentice, maybe somewhere in the middle.

It's just like reality TV, like there has to be sparks, like it has to generate a level of emotional intensity.

driven by some level of outrage.

And then I think it has to be the kind of thing where you can have tribes that form up and square off against each other, right?

So, you know, there's a little bit like West Side Story dynamic to it or something, right?

Where it's just like, okay, you can imagine, you know, there's something that's worth arguing over.

Um, where, where there's, you know, where there's a real argument to be had, like there, you know, there's, there's some underlying thing that actually like really matters.

Maybe, maybe this event doesn't matter as much, but like the actual underlying issue matters a lot.

Um, and then it's gonna, it's gonna activate this tribal effect where you're gonna be able to basically, you're, you're gonna become part of what they call a moral tribe.

The, the people on the other side are gonna become part of a moral tribe and then you're gonna gotta go to war with each other.
