to respect one another and to try not to become too tribal, you know, at least in my community or whatever.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It's like, I'm always like, if we don't want to get too tribal, we don't want to close ourselves off and say that we're this because we believe this, or, you know, we're living life better because of this.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It's like, no, it's like, we'll always have that.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Like we need to remain open to others.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And not necessarily to join the tribe, but just like to kind of recognize other tribes doing similar things, you know?

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And so I think community is incredibly important because it makes life fun, you know, and and.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And I think...

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

You know, operating through the world with that kind of energy, people recognize it or they're curious about, like, why are you like this and so forth.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And that kind of spreads.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It's contagious.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And so I think, yeah, community is super important because the world, again, the way it's designed, it's a great design.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

It can make people feel siloed, compartmentalized, or that they feel like they should be siloed or compartmentalized because they're

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

it's a tough world out there and you got to really rely on yourself or like just got your four people that you dig, you dig with.

E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

And that's it.

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being

Know Thyself
E179 - Reggie Watts: The Absurdity of Being a Human Being
