They're sort of wired into our being and we don't recognize them.

They can get hijacked by far right movements or far left movements or a lot of different things can happen that can really screw your life up if you get hijacked by these just normal mechanisms of human thinking.

I've seen it with people that get what you call audience capture.

Where their audience, they find, they get some love.

If you're doing it politically, you only do it once.

It's a dangerous move.

It's like changing genders.

Like you can't go male to female and then back to male again.

It's fucking, it's too complicated.

Exactly.

So you got one shot.

If you start out a liberal, you're a lifelong liberal.

And then at 36, all of a sudden you become like the most hardcore right-wing Republican.

That seems like – well, what did you believe before and what happened?

Did you take mushrooms?

Did you fall on your head?

Did something happen where you just radically changed your ideology?

Or did you get captured by the idea of being accepted with much more vigor by the other side?

Like that's one thing that they really do enjoy when someone bails on the other side.

Again, you can only do it once.
