It's Friday, September 27th, 2024.

From Peach Fish Productions, it's the gist.

I'm Mike Pesca.

I wanted to talk about, since there so much miserablism in the world and I am

embarking on an against miserablism world tour pretty soon. But here's a thing, here's a development that makes me happy and

it's not something that anyone tinkered with in a lab. It's not something that

society got together and decided on. It's not certainly not something something that

society got together and decided on it's not certainly not something that members of an Ivy League institution said oh this would work it's not even something

that people said let us now change a social norm. All it is is an expression that has changed and I think pretty

naturally, pretty organically, it's changed for the better, and the expression is I appreciate you.

You know we just say hey appreciate it or I'd appreciate it if you would knock it off

but now instead of the it or the even the dashed off not even mention

it appreciate it which is like I love you it's not not a real expression of love

or really anything it's sort of obligatory. Now people say, they will say, I appreciate you.

And I don't know how sincere they are. I think that maybe after you've heard it a couple

hundred times, you just think that's the way to say it, it becomes natural, it becomes insincere,

but it seems a little more sincere than appreciate it.

It seems like an advance forward in our Deregore expressions because we've had several advances backwards.

I've talked about this standing online and someone will say,

following customer, can I help the following customer?

That's not right.

It's can I help the next customer that's not right it's can I help the next customer
