Have you ever left any comments on social media?

I'm never going to engage in anything.

Exactly.

That's the thing.

And the type of people that do engage in these like prolonged arguments, they're generally mentally ill.

And people that I personally know that are mentally ill that are on Twitter 12 hours a day just constantly posting inflammatory things and yelling at people and starting arguments.

And I know them.

I know they're a mess.

Like these are like personal people that I've met, even people that I've had on the podcast.

I know they're ill.

And yet they're on there all day long just stoking the fires of chaos in their own brain.

Yeah, it's super confusing, isn't it?

I mean, and I wonder, like, what's the next version of that?

You know, because social media in the current state is less than 20 years old, essentially.

Maybe let's be generous and say it's 20 years old.

That's so recent.

Such a recent factor in human discourse.

That's what I was going to get to next.

Because if there is a way that the human race does make it out of this, my fear is that it's integration.

My fear is that we stop being a human and that the only real way for us to not be a threat is to be one of them.
