And I don't think we're fully appreciating
that there's a cost.
More graphic, more violent.
And that's where that graph goes.
So when people ask, what is the cost of an addiction?
Or what is the cost of repeated exposure to this kind of material?
It is existential.
It is...
It's beyond the graph.
And I feel so fortunate that I was able to find a way out of it.
I think this is why I feel so passionately about it.
It's because I know what it feels like to be a good kid.
Exposed to something that they shouldn't have come across.
Years of exposure and repeated patterns of behavior.
World shrinking, a complete limitation to what they thought their life should look like.
And I think if I didn't have incredible family, incredible friends, if I didn't have a job that I love, if there weren't those things and my incredible children, at the end of the day for me, I wanted to speak about this because I wanted to save my kids from a world that I had already fallen into.
And for me, the thing that I know I will never return to it is because of my kids, because that was what was at stake.
It was either losing my life or saving my life for the benefit of my children.
And I don't think most people as it is will escape it until we recognize that that graph and what you haven't shown, what TJ hasn't shown there, is the consequence of letting this run through us societally.
Man, do you know, I really do think the first step is that acknowledgement.
