But like there's so many people, whether it's like mainstream liberals on like news or of course all over the right wing ecosystem that just like.

They don't really care about what they put out.

A lot of it is acting.

You know, a lot of it is performing.

A lot of it's especially performing rage on the right.

And the cameras turn off and they don't care and they're normal.

And like a lot of people, it was so interesting.

Like when Charlie Kirk died, there were so many people, so many people who were like, yeah, he was a hothead when he was on camera.

But if you knew him in person, he was actually a really nice, gentle guy.

And the thing is, I believe them.

But it doesn't matter.

Because the damage is, of course, done when he's on camera.

Performing.

And so many of them do that.

I mean, I've had people in person be so nice to me.

And then I'm like, wait, but why do you act that way on the Internet?

You know, I'm not going to pretend that it's like my humanity isn't compressed on a certain level because it's the Internet.

I'm not going to say that everyone who's ever consumed my podcast knows the essence of my human.

But I really do try to be honest about who I am when I come to work.

And, you know, a lot of people don't.
