And one thing that's obvious once you pay attention is how much your mattress matters.
You spend a third of your life on it.
Yet most people never really think about what it's made from or how it affects their body.
Most people put more thought into buying a phone than choosing a mattress.
What I like about Avocado is its focus on creating a healthier sleep environment.
They use certified organic non-toxic materials, which means fewer unnecessary chemicals in your home and a cleaner, calmer space to rest.
And if you're unsure, many of their mattresses come with sleep trials of up to a year.
so you have time to figure out whether it's right for you.

So, and it's, I loved, again, loved the opening of the interview.
It was so rich and so informative.
And what I think I would love to talk to you about is the role between news and censorship.
Because I was reading in pushback of This Is Wrong and PBS were giving me fake news, as it were,
But I was reading that particularly in Spain and Britain, that censorship, the moment the Gutenberg press started to be used, the moment it was used to challenge authority, was the moment the authorities, basically Crown and Church, went, I think we need to take a hold of this.
And it's such a good point.
And yet at the same time, I do have empathy for platforms like YouTube during the pandemic, where you had conspiracy theories like David Icke going, 4G causing COVID, for example, which we all know to be ludicrous, apart from a very sizable minority of people, some of whom burned down 4G towers or destroyed them or whatever else.
You know what's so interesting is that we went from the model you described until very recently, you know, that Roman model, which was here is the approved news, you know, we're going to give it to you and everybody else, you know, it's going to calm people down because they feel they've got the facts.
