Yes.

There was nothing.

And, like, the total number of racially motivated crimes in New York after September 11th was zero.

So Nook Day, like, took their anger out on, you know, an Arab population, for example.

Just didn't... Just didn't have.

And, um...

And I remember thinking to myself, this is going to go away.

Like, we're going to forget.

And we're just going to go back to being New York again.

Wow.

And sure enough, in enough time, we got distracted by the short term.

COVID was no different.

In the middle of COVID, we're all thinking, oh my God, you know, I have to reevaluate my life, my work-life balance.

You know, I don't want to work like a crazy person like I used to anymore.

Productivity is not going to be my primary, you know, metric of whether I'm having a good day or not.

And that went away.

You know, we're all working like idiots again, and productivity is like people look down on you now if you're not having a productive day.

Like, we forget.

And again, it's the biology of the dopamine-driven animal that is more driven by the short term and the visual.

That, to me, upsets me more.
