uh, because we've so often been the exporter of culture, that we don't think about the ways that, you know, different, uh, nations, causes,
have a vested interest in directing that culture in certain ways.
Mm-hmm.
And so that's one of the things I was talking about in the book, too.
Have you heard that expression that politics is downstream from culture?
No.
I think that's sort of what you're saying, is like, uh,
what matters is the consensus or the idea, like the energy, the vibe is more important than like a single decision-maker, which is by the way, our whole system, like we have a decentralized system.
So where decision-making is decentralized and widespread because the founders were so,
about sort of man on horseback.
And so, there really isn't one singular person who can make a difference.
Now, the problem is... that has also allowed a lot of people who are in positions of power to...
abdicate their responsibility to make a difference, right?
Like everyone, everyone is trying to save their jobs for some point in the future when they'll be the decision maker, you know?
And like,
Look, you do need those people, but chances are you're not that person.
Yeah.
Like, chances are you should do the right thing right now.
I think the difference here, there's power and there's status, right?
And so they don't exercise the power because they want to keep the status.
