That we lose America's fragile, the ideals that built America fragile, and that we easily take them for granted and we lose those values, such as freedom of speech, such as free will, such as meritocracy.

Now, whether people actually use their freedom of speech and feel safe to speak up is a different story. I think courage, there's a great Winston Churchill quote, courage is the strength to stand up and speak, but also sit down and listen. So I think we need more of that. We need the courage to speak up, but we also need the courage to listen.

And when you have a cancel culture where people don't feel safe to speak up and speak their views, or you have a culture where people are not willing or tolerant of other people's views or sit down and listen, then the outcome's never going to be great. We've seen that story before.

And I also think we're losing, I think something that scares me that, you know, we talk a lot about freedom of speech, but we don't talk a lot about freedom, free will. I think right now, social media platforms are to some extent violating my free will by algorithmically picking what content I see and not giving me choice in that equation.
