But it can hurt you and it can bite back and hurt you in the end because you can't really control it.
You know, so, but I see what you're saying and it is, and the sense of a country feeling that kind of grievance is an incredibly powerful, motivating factor.
And I see that around the world right now, you know, we're living through a very chaotic moment in history.
I read a lot of history.
I don't know a lot of things about this world, but I do read a lot of history and it's a very strange moment.
It's one of those transitional moments.
where the world, the paradigms are shifting.
What we used to believe in doesn't seem to work anymore, right?
And it makes people go crazy.
I feel like sometimes I was on a bike ride the other day and I was thinking, sometimes I feel like I'm living in an insane asylum.

I don't separate myself in that.
And so when people feel like they have no control,

And it creates incredible space for demagogues to use that kind of confusion, to use that sense of powerlessness to whip people up into a frenzy, to get control of them.
And it's a very dangerous time because you're seeing a steering towards authoritarianism all around the globe.
And what's going on here?
Why is this happening now?
It happened in the 1920s and the 30s.
It seems to be happening now.
