First of all, I'm too small.

Yeah, but I mean, retribution does.

I don't know, but to me, violence is the thing where you think you're running it, but it's running you.

Once you cross that line, violence sings its own song.

So whenever I hear even contemporary times where people are advocating for violent actions, it's like when you start a fire, you're not like, I'm just going to burn down this house.

And there's many cases over and over of people who are building bombs or trying to assassinate someone or things like that.

And it ended up literally...

Literally, literally blowing up in their own face.

And violence doesn't really work necessarily because, you know, if you have an assassination, you're not assassinating the presidency.

You know, if you take out, you know, a president, there's another president instantly there.

So what have you accomplished?

Someone's...

husband dad is gone you replace them with someone who now is in a position to crack down and uh retaliate with even more violence so it's it the calculus for me isn't there would i be advocating for then who knows um

But I mean, I don't know if I'd be able to have the space to be... I certainly wouldn't have the space to be a podcaster or like a media personality.

That wasn't really a thing.

To some extent, it was in the 1920s with the Algonquin Roundtable and all the people from the New Yorker magazine.

But they were all drunks.

It was very much a weird kind of situation to be a thinker.

Well, thank you.

I look good in anything.
