Michelle Obama

kept fighting over these eight slots, you know?

Because the belief is that, by some people, the belief is that if it wasn't for these eight people, I would have got in.

Which is also a little insane because...

There were people before they ever had eight slots, right?

When it was just like 100 white slots.

There was like the 101st white guy who couldn't get in.

So it's like, you might not be able to beat other white people.

Yeah, I mean, I look at it as... There are a couple ways, depending on the...

The country you're in probably depends on your approach to it.

I think in the U.S., we have made a deep, deep mistake in thinking that all the things that you're supposed to get from community can be optimized and sold to you in a form that's somehow better than just the natural way.

So you look at people in other countries that live in villages that don't have...

that much in ways of means.

And they still seem to have everything that a person could need to get by.

And not everything as in they aren't without struggle or that they don't need help or aid or anything, but just in the bluntest of terms, I'm not trying to be glib here, but they didn't just all die.

How did that happen if they don't have the same resources or if their yearly salary amounts to...

$200 a year to us or maybe even lower, right?

And that thing happened because rather than outsourcing every action that would come from a family or a community, they just do it for each other, right?

And I think that there is a reminder that we need sometimes that everything that you could want is like in the other people around you, you know?

And so I would hope that

the community that I'm doing my best to build and the people that come to the show and meet each other and make friends at the show and everything, it's like that becomes the person that you talk to or that becomes like a friend that you get coffee with.
