And it's just, oh, God, there's so much. And I think that if you're a socially or environmentally conscious person at all, You can't concentrate on everything. You'd lose your mind. Because you begin to feel helpless and without agency. And I think that feeling of helplessness and lack of agency causes some people to just say, Screw it. Yeah. I'm going to just do whatever.
