If you went to one meeting, like, what's this all about?

Boy, social media doesn't do us any favors with that, does it?

No.

The ability to just tweet out something the moment something hits the news or whatever and your hot take on it.

How many fucking people have lost their careers because of a hot take?

Yeah, exactly.

But it's also indicative of who you are because no one who's like really competent at something is engaging in that all day long.

That thing is usually by people that don't feel like they're getting the attention they deserve.

And then they'll go after whatever the fuck it is that can elevate them.

Whatever it is.

Whatever cause there is that's du jour.

That you get to either yell at people or yell with people.

Yeah.

It's just so unfortunate how easy it is to engage in this behavior and how few guidelines there are.

Other than your work and some other people have talked about it, but it's like the way you're saying it and the way you're saying it in your book and the way you said it on Trigonometry.

It allows people to have like a look at the wiring under the board.

Like, oh, this is what the problem is.

And I would hope that people that are engaged in that realize like what a psychological capture that shit is.

It's so weird for you because you get it.

I've had friends that have had like real problems with like engaging with people on Twitter.
