They feed you this propaganda. They feed you these ideas that revolve around patriotism. And inevitably, that makes you think, well, I have to be more patriotic because I'm a soldier. It fits. But I raise all this to just think about the concepts, the very concepts we're thinking about, whether we're smarter or stronger. Have we given any thought how real they are to us? Are you someone that is like, confused? Am I smart enough? What is smart?

To me, I was like, wow, that's like a lens for so many things, right? So that I'm just still on that and then smarter, stronger. Those are two great things to, like juxtapose to themselves, because those are both necessary, right and smart, right. And I don't know if I'm wrong or not. I should just probably pause and Google it
I don't like the fact that people dictate how much time is spent and what I have to look like in order to spend that time sufficiently. That's what really rubs against my spirit in a really upsetting way. And that's why I was really excited that you really got that, because it's a two sided coin, right? Like, in a way, it's great

I love it. No, I mean, you're right. You're right. Those three things do apply, but also who's making the rules and why does it even matter? I was talking to someone today in the office and we're talking about, like, how are we going to be going back and all this stuff? And I was like, I don't mind because I really don't love working from home
My opposition doesn't reflect the majority. Instead, I become an advocate for the majority, naturally. And it's interesting because as a young man, I made so many friends, more friends than enemies because I just understood spaces with people like, all right, I got to be like this with this group or like this with that group. I learned that early on in high school, it was crazy
