No, I think we feel justified because the universe to balance things out a little bit to, um, to, uh, it's like a, you know, it's interesting. A lot of people say they're really into justice, but what they're really into is self justice.

Just not justice for all, but when there's injustice, they see against their self and then suddenly they hashtag myself matters. Oh, right.

Yeah. Yeah. Um, and it's interesting that you linked that to the luxury beliefs idea. Um, I mean, the idea of signaling is, is everywhere. Once you start to look, Jeffrey Miller told me that once he said, he said that it copies it. Once you start to study signaling, you, you can't see anything in this world that in any conversation that isn't some form of signaling signaling.

So I always thought that was interesting. Um, but I think that, um, What is really lacking is a real care for universal principles, universalism. If you say you care about justice against racial discrimination, you should care when a white person is discriminated against, right? And that's just, I mean, that's just an example, but it should work all the way around.

If you're a white person, if you're a white supremacist and you're like, I care about justice against white people, you should also care about...

black people too you know like like we should care about universal principles not just the extent to which an injustice has occurred against something that correlates with yourself why is victimhood so seductive like what's the so it is our default state here's something interesting um have you heard of word helplessness the theory of word helplessness

You were halfway there. Martin Seligman in the 70s and 80s did a whole series of studies starting with dogs and rats, and then they eventually went to humans. And I'll get to humans in a second. But they found that in dogs, you continually shock a dog, and then you open up the cage. So you keep them locked in a cage, and this is delightful, right?
