Well, it's contingent upon this algorithm, this algorithmic system that we live under where we're fed.

It's like we're almost fed certain subcategories.

And it's easy to fall into that because you don't like hearing things you disagree with.

And so it's a lot easier to just turn the TV on or go on Facebook and look at whatever page posts things that you know you're going to consistently agree with every day.

And that's not going to challenge the way you think in any little way or expand your thinking at all.

It's easy to just...

it's kind of like a, it's a cult like type of thing.

It's like, you know, here's, this is what we all agree with.

And if you don't, then go on, get, you know, like, but it, it doesn't, it,

We're far too complicated for it to really work that way.

But that is true.

I mean, but specifically in my case, I mean, really,

It applies more than it probably does in a lot of cases with crowds and music.

You know, talking about Richmond, I wasn't necessarily even excited that Richmond did as well as it did.

It was like, in a way, it was almost like alarming that it did so well, you know?

And so those crowds that show up, like, maybe they do like my music, but I also think they're there for something special.

There is something bigger about it.

I mean, I wish I would have done a better job of having people there at shows to capture some of those crowds I had in 24, man.

You mean the size, the intensity?

The intensity.
