Yeah, I mean, I wonder how much of an opportunity there is here as well.

Like, how much have we already degraded this mycorrhizal network, and is there space to regenerate it and sequester more carbon than we are right now?

Thank you, Jay.

Andrea.

Yes.

Tell us how YouTube can suck my brain out.

So I would define it as an information space.

Usually now we're referring to it as an online community that is curated for people who believe the same thing.

Usually people who, like if you're an anti-vaxxer, you get attracted to it.

If you go there and you're not an anti-vaxxer, you get ejected from the community.

So there's some kind of purifying filter.

So you're only hearing opinions, one perspective or one set of opinions.

I would add, what I was going to say, I think one of the key features I think of as a rabbit hole, it's not just leading you to other things, it's leading you to more and more radical things on sort of the same line.

So you might think, oh, I'm a little curious about Flat Earth.

You watch a video on that, you get progressively more radical videos, and that could maybe lead you to QAnon or whatever.

So I think...

We're using that differently.

I think we're using the metaphor to mean doing a deep dive on something.

But I think in this context, it's increasing radicalization.

And so the, the researchers, so, but it's, but it's also, it's like, I've just to extend that analogy a little bit.
