00:00I think we need more contact with each other.
00:24I think we need to understand the importance of the public square.
00:33During lockdown, conversations were stopped.
00:40Conversations became in a silo of thought.
00:48Communicating this way will guide you in an algorithm to people like you and you
00:57will not have the difficult conversation. You'll have a lot of
01:02agreement and a lot of outrage and a lot of purpose in hatred. That's where we've
01:09been guided. A purpose in hatred. You're not looking in anyone's eyes and seeing
01:15truth. You're creating this bubble of truth that gets you outraged and so what
01:23does the world need now? The world needs to stop doing that and go to a bar. The world
01:28needs to stop doing that and go to a park and say hello to someone that you
01:36don't know and start a conversation. There's a lot of unity out there that
01:43needs to happen but what we're in right now is we're in a time of desperation
01:50and the desperation is coming from people in power because they understand
01:57that people are looking behind the veil and seeing them and starting to
02:08understand now in ways they never understood before the mechanism of power.
