The idea that we're desensitized to violence, this is a totally novel period in human society.
That's the point that I'm making.
Like, we are less violent now, in this point in human history, than human beings have ever been in all of human history.
How many people have been adopted?
I don't know if that's true.
in the last 100 years because of governments, probably 200 million.
But the point that I'm making is the average person in the Western world is far less likely to engage with violence than other people in other points in history.

Because of industrialized war.
Not because there's more war.
Like war was a constant prior to World War II.
It's been a constant throughout all of human history.
War existed before human beings were human beings.
There's one thing that I want to put in there.
The idea that it's only Israel stealing from the United States, that is a naive perspective.
Every country does everything they can to spy on every other country.
I don't care.
Every country does everything they can to spy on every other country.
