It's like too late.
So like the invitation of this situation is to see clearly where this is going and to say, if you don't want that, we need to steer towards somewhere else.
And this is like the human movement, essentially.
Like a single person looking at the situation, a single listener.
Like if I were listening to this conversation, I would feel overwhelmed.

I'd feel nihilistic.
Or I'd find reasons to doubt it.
I would say like, this can't be right.
