Now, the thing is, I think that system is still happening in Australia right now.
There's some kid that has gone through the last 12 years.
And what I'm worried about right now is that kid that's in grade 12 right now, that has spent 12 years being educated in that way, that is hitting this new wave of the world right now, which we're all going through.
What does that parent of that kid do right now in Australia?
The young guy that you mentioned that started his own business at the age of 20 and said if he had been in a normal school, he would have ended up smoking pot and all that.
That just made me think, I've spoken to a few parents of teenagers in Australia, and they have mentioned that the lunchtime schoolyard scenario right now is pretty hectic, especially in state schools where there's lots of crazy fights and lots of, it's really intense.
Are you seeing the same thing in the States?
And do you think that this is a reflection of a frustration from these kids
almost understanding that when they step outside that school, the world doesn't match what they're actually meeting inside that school system.
Yeah, definitely.
I can say in primary school and secondary school, there were two.
We have a social media ban for kids under 16 in Australia now.
Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing?
Totally.
Social media can lie to you, but so can traditional media as well, right?
Like there's no media that's really not lying.
We're in an interesting time right now, very scary times with interesting leaders running the world.
Where do you see leaders of the world in 20 years time?
God, I wish I was 10.
