What I was going to bring up was the National Endowment for Democracy and the Global Disinformation Index, I guess it's called.

or initiative, whatever.

It all just seems bullshit to me.

But they pushed through a bunch of funds today, as I understand it, and they're funded up by this government.

And yet, isn't the global disinformation push, is that got the CCP gloss over it too?

But are they only interested in us?

Are they interested in getting the West to destroy itself in general?

And then there's toxic empathy that is running amok everywhere.

It's like, I care.

I just care so much.

It's like, you don't know how to care, really.

I mean, people...

Again, I just have my model of working in mental health for so long that you can care, but it doesn't mean you indulge.

Indulging people ends up making them sicker, more disturbed, less happy, and containment and purpose and hard work, all these things.

That's real empathy.

And it's very difficult to get people to do that.

Have you seen, by the way, have you seen, have you seen Pluribus, the miniseries?

I suggest you watch it because it's an exploration of how the warm embrace, if you take it to its logical extremes, and it's different than totalitarianism and those sorts of extremes.

It goes to a very different place, and it's a really interesting exploration.

I don't think they knew what they were voting for.
