So I think like what I'm saying is that when people are looking for these, these greater explanations for things, that's very normal.

When people are looking for someone to blame, that's very normal.

enough differences in terms of our background and worldview that it's not just, you know, mostly speak in the same language, but, you know, we have enough differences in terms of our background and worldview that it's not just a, you know,

echo chamber kind of a thing where we always see things the same way.

I haven't done very many, you know, guest or interview shows, episodes of Dangerous History

in a while.

And a lot of that's been due to the fact that my schedule has been very erratic and busy.
