I think we're just going back to normal, aren't we?

And like we've we've sort of deviated in the last few years.

And that seems more maybe it's akin to my time and my frame and like when I was brought up.

But like nothing about that struck me as rage or on either side.

Like when I looked at that, I was like, oh, great.

It's just like an advertisement.

It's a pub.

Yeah, it just I didn't even think more.

I didn't think there was more to it.

I just saw, oh, this is great, right?

But the opposite of her, whatever that would be, would not cause rage in me either.

I wouldn't even think about the brand.

It would just be like another thing that flies by.

I don't understand why we're so hair-triggered at this moment in time, unlike maybe never before.

What's different about today?

Why is everybody on such a hair trigger?

Why do we identify so strongly with extremes?

Or they're not guilty at all.

Somebody just made up an accusation and the accusation became the framing and the framing became the narrative.

But we've gotten to this point, you know, to varying degrees in varying different countries where, you know, we don't tolerate people who have different ideas than us.
