And the superpower would be I could make someone's car, all four of their tires pop at the same time.

Have you really? Yes. But not pop so they go careening. I don't want them to ever be in harm's way.

I want them to be inconvenienced both with time and money. The only time I ever feel that involves cars that I can remember. And I lead a pretty sheltered life. If I had friends that were being threatened, of course, I would, you know, I do have like a sledgehammer and a lot of guns under my kitchen floor. They're ready to come out anytime, wick style. And gold coins. Yeah. So many gold coins.

And gold coins. Yeah. So many gold coins.

Yeah. But I think they're chocolate. You know, those chocolate gold coins. Because most of my money has melted into one big coin. So I don't know if I'm rich or... Or destined to. Either way. And then it's also very fleeting. I don't save that up in, like, sometimes people get so angry, you see them muttering, like, three blocks later, or they're still going at it.

And then it's also very fleeting. I don't save that up in, like, sometimes people get so angry, you see them muttering, like, three blocks later, or they're still going at it.

It's very fleeting by about, like, two intersections, driving normal speed, so, like, maybe one minute, 45 seconds. I'm already like, nah, I don't know what they're going through. Who cares? It's all fine. But in that moment... I feel the closest that I have to wrath of immediate punishment.

Like I'm glad that I don't have that superpower because like big O tires would go out of business because they would have sold out of all of their stock. Right. So what I realized, cause I was like, well, where, where does that come from and why I feel wrath because I got scared. I'm not angry. I'm not feeling wrath of like, you're taking too long to go through the light.

That's where beatbacks start. I don't ever feel that way. You're just inconveniencing me. Guess what? I'll be fine. I'm never in that much of a hurry. But because you made me feel unsafe, It's almost like through being a little bit inconsiderate or daring to have other things on your mind than my safety, you broke the construct that I have around me that driving is safe. Yeah.

Yeah.

And I'm fine in my everyday life. And had I not been watching your inconsiderate move could have really caused severe harm. Like it was because everyone drives 90,000 miles an hour here. So accidents aren't like we don't have a lot of fender benders on the 405. Like we have the 405 is closed now for a while because that car is now three cars.

And so that's what I found is the wrath doesn't come from I'm so angry at you. It's you scared me. And you sort of shook my foundation of I'm going to be fine. And my response to that isn't an inward response at first of, oh, okay, I'm glad that I was careful. I'm glad all this stuff. Instead, it's like, how dare you put me through this horror movie that I didn't sign up for? Is that interesting?

Yeah. Do you relate to that? I never thought about it that way before until we started researching for this podcast.
