It's hard to learn because there's no precedent.

It's not like there's 100 years of history on how to use the internet properly.

Nobody knows.

They're just doing it because it seems like a thing to do that makes you feel good, gives you a little shitty dopamine spike.

And so they just dive in.

But if we could explain to people when they're very young, when they're impressionable, these are patterns that human beings fall into, and this is why they do these things that you think they're being mean or they're being bullies.

This is why.

These are all the patterns.

And so the kids could get it in their head, and maybe they could stop doing it while they're doing it at a young age and learn better patterns.

And then as they get older, just sort of have a much more rational way of interfacing with people.

My friend Duncan said that about the pandemic when the people on the left were attacking all the people on the right.

He said, dude, this is going to lead to a totalitarian right-wing government.

He goes, watch what this happens.

Watch what happens.

Because all these people on the left are going crazy.

And when I saw the riots and shutting down the streets, he was like, oh, this is going to lead to a totalitarian right-wing government.

Because it's going to be the opposite reaction to this.

It's potentially very dangerous.

And it's not dangerous right here yet, right now.

But it is if you're in Gaza.
