Hi everybody this is Gatsad yesterday or day before I was contacted by a reporter

0:08.0

from one of my university's newspapers asking me to grant an interview regarding a problematic tweet that I had

0:22.2

posted to which I responded. I didn't know which tweet the individual was referring to and so I wrote like I said, which tweet?

0:31.6

because literally anything that I say at any given moment

0:34.6

can trigger someone, even though I hardly say things

0:38.6

that in a sane world should be considered

idiot using use anti-Semitic words I'm not a fragile flower enough with the

1:39.4

hysteria around the N-word now what what was I saying there? I was basically arguing for

1:46.0

anti-fragility, for resilience. You're stronger than some idiot insulting you

1:52.4

with a racist word. Walk tall, be dignified, right? It's a message of

1:57.5

resilience, it's a positive message. It's a message that says you must be anti-f fragile as I explained in the parasitic mind

2:08.0

But it's the tweet received more than 10 I think 10 and a half million views, hundreds of thousands of
