And I think, like, social media has made it all the worse.
Like, I don't know, just to say this, I feel like we all have this, like...
sense of who our our public self is even if you're not a public person even if you're just like you know you have an instagram account i feel like there's this like this like for the last you know decade and a half there's just been this splintering of the actual self and the and sort of the you know public self of who we put out in the world in this like social media lens and i think it's just made us all so much more aware of the way that we come across or what our opinion just like to like look at our lives as such an outsider as well it can be so dangerous i i don't remember whose quote this was but i've seen it a couple times it said like don't do the i think it was like
Marcus Aurelius or something.
Don't quote me on that.
Don't check it.
But it was like, don't do yourself the disservice of looking at your life all at once.
And I try to think about that a lot because that feels like what that instinct is to like, yeah, metatextually like discover.
I don't know.
Just think about too much about like who I am as a person versus who I am as a, I don't know, an entity, a brand, whatever those things are.
But I think people are doing it on all levels of that spectrum of fame from like the most famous to like people that are just on Instagram.
I feel like it's like really such a brain worm that...
I don't know.
I'm interested to see how that changes us as people in general.
And we keep going.
Oh, man, yeah.
I'm like, stop, just stop, stop, stop.
