is social media does certain things because these people are bombarding, you know, everybody with social media. They have a goal. They want to be correct, they want to be right, and they want to be heard. So, you know, like, social media will reward people for outrage over accuracy, right? Or by amplifying extremes and not norms. And they turn opinion into performance. It makes everybody on there feel like they're an expert and that they're not, they're telling the truth. But there's so many falsehoods that spread, I mean, falsehoods spread faster than correct, corrections because emotion travels faster than fact. And algorithms don't care what's true. They care what keeps you scrolling on the screen, and that's what we do. We're scrolling and just soaking up all this information. So, you know, I think that's one of the biggest dangers that we have today. I can go on here, I can listen to some thing on YouTube, and it gives you, it has a headline, it's clickbait. And then when you check it out and really, you know, research it, you'll find out the guy's full of crap. You know, he's really exaggerating what really is going on.
