[00:00:00]But, I wonder whether or not the net effect of social media at the internet over the last, let's say, 10 to 15 years has been to trick the mind at an unconscious level into thinking that if we're not on there, we're going to miss out. But, it's not FOMO of not like we're not going to be included, but that I actually think it may run much deeper than that that it's that we that we don't exist.

[00:00:25]That life is there, and if we're not aware of it, we don't exist.

[00:00:31]Because I see parents looking at their phones while their kids are running around them. So, you can't say, "Oh, well, this is only, you know, it Well, you have kids and you're attending to your kids." And some parents are great parents, but uh I see a lot of kids that are clearly being, you you know, baby sat by devices. And the parents will say, "Listen, it's the only thing that quiets them down and gets them to settle down while I can tend to things." So, I can relate. Now, what do you think about the idea that the internet, while powerful and can be used for great good, may have convinced billions of human minds that they don't exist if they're not observing or engaging on there.
