They're committed to identifying with their victimhood completely. And it boggles my mind. I guess for some people, it is the only way they know. It's encouraged in their community, in their certain in-group community.

you know, that that's like the way to be. But there are entire communities where it's not. I mean, if you're part of like the athletic sports community, I feel like there's a whole culture around overcoming a victim. You don't lose a game and the coach goes, all right, team.

Yeah, I hinted at that a little bit earlier, but we are such a social species and social value is such an important core part. Reputation and social value is such an important part. And I think if you go all the way back to Savannah Desert, we're a very tribal species. And
