I really think during the excesses of the post-George Floyd era, people attached so strongly to identity.
And I sense a real pushback against that.
And you talk about learning it, right?
The main place people learn still is in the school system.
Right now, public education is essentially a failing enterprise.

And then people will self-select what they learn.
