Yes, yes.
And I think post-COVID, there's more things that we're all fighting about because everything's worse.
It ended in 2021.
It's done.
Yeah, it sort of feels like our eyeballs are pointing in two different directions and one of them is outside and one of them is online and we're constantly living like that and it's like very disorienting.
And like the rise of the personality type you're describing
Grant and I did a whole bonus episode about the movie Eddington, which I think is like the best depiction I've seen yet of sort of the psychology of that moment.
And after the break and a word from our sponsors, we're going to talk about sort of the initial... I'm using this term to mean that post the existence of COVID.
So the initial post-COVID era of... What are you talking about?
No, we're...
I'm doing a transition.
We're going to be talking about the immediate main characters of the post-COVID era.

Here's a word from our sponsors, PETA.
One thing that always strikes me when we talk about this stuff is how we're constantly using systems that we don't really understand and can't really see the full picture of.
Algorithms decide what we consume.
Platforms decide what gets amplified.
And somewhere in the background, there are countless companies tracking us, watching our behaviors, analyzing our moods and interests.
And of course, random third parties collecting data on what we click, what we share, and what we're talking about.
And that's why I think something like Surfshark VPN is just good digital hygiene.
