You know, there's a lot of good people that work in Meta.

Meta is not good for the planet, but people have an obligation to make a living.

So I wouldn't, you know, you've made the decision, boss.

So, you know, you can control what you can control on a regular basis.

Ask yourself if that is really weighing on you.

But I wouldn't beat yourself up because you made the decision.

So try and make as much progress as you can.

I would say this bullshit, you can be an internal agent of change.

Now, trust me, if you're trying to make a change in big tech from the inside, in my view, you're a gnat up against a giant windshield.

I think it's gotta be regulation.

But look, I'm a bit of a capitalist on this stuff.

I think you have an obligation to affix your own oxygen mask, take care of yourself, build economic security.

And if you're in a position to then, if it becomes overwhelming for you, if you find out that one in eight people, girls in the UK, cite Instagram as a means or a catalyst for self-harm, which is data they collected and that really weighs on you, then get a job somewhere else.

And I don't know if you're working at Met or somewhere else, but

I don't know.

The hand wringing after you've accepted the job is just self-loathing.

So I don't know.

And some get over it and then spend a couple of years there, see if you like it, see if in fact it's weighing on your conscious.

And also if you have the opportunity to do something that offers the same upside in economic security without the kind of emotional, emotional tax.

But anyways, congrats on the position.
